Art Journal - Look Up at the Stars

A long weekend gave me some more studio time! Here's an art journal spread, an art tile, a mini canvas and 2 ATCs.

 

Art Journal - Anything Can Happen

I was working on the backgrounds for some of the cards in the ATC 52 series, and made an art journal spread and some other pieces while I was at it!

Here are at a couple art tiles:

And a mini-canvas:

And a burlap canvas I got at Michael's... definitely a different texture to work on!

I think I did so much this week because I only did my one ATC last week. I'm also in the mood to experiment, and most of today's work was playing around with black backgrounds, testing out different color blends.

Art Journal - My Star By Night

I keep coming back to this color combination... something about it always seems to work, whereas other colors aren't thrilling me lately. Maybe it's the difference of color blending between watercolor and acrylic that takes some getting used to. I just know that when I use these colors, I almost always love the result! Here's another art journal spread, with an art tile, mini-canvas and a couple of ATCs.

Art Journal - Written in the Stars

I'm getting an early start on my Valentine projects! Another art journal spread, art tile, 2 ATCs and a mini-canvas.

Art Journal - You're A Star

Since I switched from a 365 project to a 52 project, I've been getting into the habit of having several pieces in motion at a time... it doesn't let any paint go to waste and it gives me several coordinating pieces! So this week, I ended up with an art journal spread, an art tile (4x4), 2 ATCs and a mini-canvas (3x3).

I'm also loving my new star stencil from StencilGirl, designed by Seth Apter (the Urban Insiders Star, available here: http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-star-urban-insiders-seth-apter-p/m059.htm ). You can see it on the journal, tile and canvas.
