Still working in my Journal

 
Graphite Sketch by Marla L. Niederer

I’ve been working in my art journal as I have been going through the lessons of a class I am taking with Idania Salcido.  Since I need to give my right arm a rest, I've been doing all of my art left handed.  I’ve been working on exploring color in the class.

  In the class I have also been working on the proportions of the face and shading.  I thought I would share with you some of the journal pages I have been working on.

China Patterns in my art journal

I recently had surgery on my wrist so while I have been recuperating I have been taking a lovely online class from Idania Salcido.  For the class, I am working in my journal left handed and using watercolors instead of acrylics because they are easier for me to use now.  I chose to use patterns from my china teacups and saucers.  In the class she also encourages her students to play around with colors.  I must admit I’m having quite a bit of fun with this.

 

Playing around with colors

I also wanted to thank all of you for following my progress all of these years by sharing with you a free video tutorial on how I needle sculpt a cloth doll nose.  You can view it on YouTube by clicking on the link to my OrsinisAngels YouTube channel.  I hope you enjoy the video.
