Journal Prompts Art

I have fun playing with prompts I find on the net.  I pick and choose the ones I feel like I can actually do something with that pertains to my life, my values, my art.  The last post was about the pages I did from the Strathmore workshops.  Today, the pages I have worked on from Milliande's January journal prompts.  I find it difficult to do one a day so I am way behind her, but here are a few pages I haven't posted before.


Layered lines... I will write about something someday...

Stories of women right page

And stories of women left page.  I like this idea and think I might noodle around with using it some other way...


And taking a line for a walk... lots of white area for journaling.

And remember Carla Sonheim's fun and silly prompts?  She takes an instrument of some kind and smears left over paint in the middle of a page... then when it drys make something out of it.  Here are some smears that I finished up lately...


Hand drawing...


Birds on a feeder... these are such cute little guys...



And an elephant???

Playful art... it's great!

I also love the drawings of girls, really contemporary. I love the colours in the other drawings but for some reason can't see the whole picture on my computer as they are enormous, the look interesting though
