ArT Journal Pages on T Tuesday



Make your page 'Smash Book style.'
I added bits and pieces of my week
into the collage, and scraps
of painted papers.




What do you do for fun?
I draw, paint, cut and paste in my journals!
I find it Therapeutic...

















Joining Elizabeth of Altered Book Lover blog
for her T Tuesday link party.  Above, a detail
of a larger collage that incorporates  a green
tea package and a little sketch of a tea bag.

What do you do for summer fun?

Fake Journal: Realism Not Required



'Fake Journal' entry created
first with pencil sketch, then 
painted in gouache.




Transcript of the above:

The Way of Tea exemplifies elegant
simplicity...beauty need not require opulence.
But the Way of Tea has become rigid ceremony...

Strict adherence to reality is not required.
Asymmetry is beauty. Omitting background
details is quite permissible to give the subject
prominence. The rhythm and variety of
negative space enrich the composition.

Why not simplify the subject to its essence?
