Dear Liza,
As I typed that title, I thought of how I am dressing nowadays, and making the bed: Layers and layers. We have had very cold nights and may even get snow tomorrow! But that’ s not what I’m writing about today.
I am still learning about how to make pictures look like I want. I will usually start with some idea or shape I am inspired by.
Or sometimes I just throw down some color or lines, and go from there.
One of last week’s Art Journal challenges was “Circles”, which I love. I took the diagonal lines of the abstract photo from The Coast last week and added pinkish circles. I liked it!
But when I looked again a few days later, it looked unfinished. It needed contrast. So I filled in the spaces with blue and black, and I like it better now. It might be done. Maybe. Are the planets dark enough, or should they be filled in?
I’ll let you know when I know. More about layers tomorrow!
Love,
Grandma Judy
