An Art Journal Page Process

(don't forget to left click on photos

to see them larger)

"Juicy Fruit" began with a photo I had taken

of a handcarved crow that I stuck a strawberry on...

see it emerging below on a page in my small Moleskini

Sketch book...I've have drawn it in pencil and

then inked it in with a black Pitt pen

Now you see it spreading over to the left page and becoming a

'spread"----here you the the first sketchy look


Then that side is inked with the pen and it is now ready to add color
with watercolor pencils, waterbrushes and
some acrylic paints
,...Mellencamp has a good beat...

Here I used Black acrylic (in the bottle) paint for
the solid rich background I happen to
frequently use..
it's now ready for color...

I just hope the colors sing and bring the delight I felt.
You'll notice the fairly new winnaname logo I have designed
which goes on some works. It surely amazed me
how this glass container in the fridge keeps the berries
just like fresh ones
