Week three of life book had us looking further into ourselves, into our light and darkness. The amazingly talented Bonnie Rose guided us on this journey, and as hard as I found it to begin, I think I came through the process feeling joy and peace
That may sound a bit weird but when I look at this piece I feel peace. Comfort. Which is great because that was the intention behind the piece.
Sometimes I don't connect to a painting when it's finished but this time I have.
The marbling was fun, shaving cream and food colouring, (thanks to an ingenious member on the willowing site) and I just had to do some more on blank bits of paper I had laying around.
(I think they will be too waxy to draw on, but great for mixed media pieces.)
Anyway, in the end such a fun and slightly messy project. I haven't crossed hatched in eons, and it was nice to get back to the way I first began to draw.
There are more photos & close ups on my facebook page
P.S. For all those in Australia like me - Happy Australia Day, (is that the correct phrase?) I hope your day was a chilled out as mine, that the BBQ ran hot, and the beer was cold ;)
Feels peaceful to me too, balance and quiet. Lovely work. Happy Australia Day. xox Corrine
