 Week 28 - Sacred Inner Eye with Tamara Laporte

This was such an awesome lesson.

Not only where we painting one of my favourite subjects, but I also used a variety of different materials, many of which I haven't used in a very long time.

Using my rarely used (these days) pro markers on the iris, I also used a combination of charcoal, graphite, gesso, and spray inks.

I love how this turned out + I adored how the writing looks - all linked together in long cursive.

I think it will be my new favourite way to journal.

Have a great week.

☆ What's Through Your Window? [inspiration avenue]

Tweet

This weeks inspiration avenue prompt, was to look through the window + share what you see...

If I were to take this literally, I would show you a picture of grey clouds, hills hidden by mist and a fence lined with wisteria, ornamental grape vine, ivy + jasmine that is in desperate need of a trim.

So this week, I decided to be a bit abstract again.

I love painting girls (obviously!) but what I am always drawn to + what I absolutely love to paint, is their eyes.

And usually it's there, that the painting becomes... well, I guess it comes alive. Sometimes I will start with the eyes and then the painting unfolds from there. 

They say the eyes are the windows to your soul, and maybe what ever I am feeling, comes through my paintings eyes. (It shouldn't, but it surprises me they are always different.)

So if you looked through the windows of this paintings eyes, I wonder what you would see....

Have a great weekend.
