Playing

Trying to find a way around my recent resistance to painting, I remembered some small exercises from Fonda's workshop. And these got me going :-) I didn't touch my canvas yet, but I did paint this week and had lots of fun too!

These are creatures found in paint on scraps of paper (that I would normally throw out, but now I found an new use for it :-) )

They will be used as collage material, as well as these next ones: one-line drawings with my non-dominant hand:

I also made 2 sketches this week, to keep up with my plan to make a sketch every week this year. I skipped the first week (since I only planned to do this in the second week) so I was a week behind. With these two I'm on schedule, and I plan to keep going!

This one counts for week 1

And this is for this past week:

And I've also been playing in my art journal this week. Another one of my new year's resolutions is to finish every single workshop I have on my computer. I tend to start one, but then life gets in the way and I forget all about it. Last week I have been watching video's from Juliana Coles "Extreme journaling", and have been preparing a few backgrounds. Nothing finished yet, so not much to show. Here's a sneak peek of one of the pages:

And that's it for now! I'm linking this to Paint Party Friday, and looking forward to seeing what everyone's been up to last week.

Thanks so much for your visit and for leaving comments! I'll leave you with some funnies :-)

And also some to think about ....

Take care of yourself and have a great day!
I'll be back next week ♥ ♥ ♥
