Art canvas class results

I spent most of my day Saturday in an art journal class with Ronda palazarri. LOVED all the layers and textures. Here's a few photos. Base canvas:

Small mini canvas:

Finished!

Daily Paper Prompt: linear

Used a handmade stamp to make "lines" in some medium. Gesso and paint drips. A few pastel rubs too. Since this spread had an inclusion in it I went ahead and made a mini page. 

Daily paper prompt: ROUND

I went to Jerry's Artarama and got a free catalyst tool and had to try it out! Used it with gel medium to make round shapes. Lots of fluid acrylic in teal. Some clearance pastels. Added a random quote for fun. 

Gelli prints on deli paper

After making a few fabric prints I grabbed a few sheets of deli paper to print on. The more layers the better!

Gelli play! On fabric

PPulled out my gelli printing plate today for a little creative play. I purchased some fabric a few weeks ago and wanted to try making a tote. Or a bag. But it's too this. It will be great on a mixed media canvas or something. Here's what I got from my printing today:

DPP: flowers

The third prompt was flowers. Still using my gelli print journal. Since there was a few layers of paint and sprays already. I added a few more for bold colors. Drew a couple flowers with India ink and blurred the background with some gesso. Then I found a flower quote and perfectly done! 

DPP DRIPS

Loved this prompt. I used the back page of the window page. Drips of all colors going all directions. Pulled out some old sticker letters and sprayed black. Had an accidental drip of black ink so went with it and added more!

Daily paper prompt

Stated a new challenge of sorta over at daisy yellow. She gives a daily paper prompt. Interpretation is up to me!  Today was "window".  I am using an art journal I made from gelli printed paper. So some of my prep work on a page is already done!  I cut a window and wrapped it in washi tape for this one. I even used a few of my hand carved stamps. The map is on the next page. 

Last two ICADS!!

Have truly enjoyed the last two months of ICADS.  Here are my last two! 

Instagram art journal swap

Every month another journal arrives. Here's my progress on my August swap so far. Glass bead gel has been my go to item lately!
