Journal Pages

Aggapanthus............. I love her eyes they just jump out!!!!!!!

I have used a watery Atelier paint for Aggapanthus and then watered down black for the liner work.I am really beginning to like the effects that can be achieved with these paints.Thanks Vicky for the push .......both with the paints and the journal pages it has been a long 12 weeks since my operation and all this art work has definitely helped the time go by..........

I decided to have a little fun sketching with Graphitint pencils, they are very soft to use but don't smudge. I limited my colours to a brown and deep grey for the hair and a touch of deep burgundy for the lips etc....... I then washed a little water here and there to blend in the shading and to bring the colours out. They come alive when wet...... My journey with my foot is almost over(well the hard part) I am now in a runner for 2 hours twice a day. It is really strange to walk on it again.I have heaps of hydrotherapy and physio to return to walking properly..........
