Funk?

OK Artistically speaking, no pity parties babe! This is what this blog is for. Excitement and inspiration, right? Love your suggestion to get back into your old sketchbooks Erica. I use mine all the time. The funniest thing I see, since my sketch books are mostly receptacles for magazine clippings of things I love, is that gee, my taste is consistent!

I am going to share one of the exercises I do with my color theory groups. It is really the culmination of the session but it is also a great exercise to inspire.
1. Find a great picture from a magazine.
2. Interpret it into a colorful collage. You can either reinterpret it in textures and color mixed media collage, or use the image as the base to embellish. I have included the one I did. I loved the red and green use in the photo (pure complimentary colors) and I loved the action of the model. The little color bits were cut from paint chips.


I am sorry to hear of Matt's dad, and will keep him my prayers.
