Art Journals - my visual adventure. I try out new techniques, play, gain understanding, support and encourage myself to be the creative person I feel I have been called to be. I am grateful that my art journal doesn't judge or remind me of my areas of immaturity but encourages me to be my true self and enjoy the journey! What are you grateful for today?

21 Secrets - Tracie Hanson
Creating backgrounds and pulling out shapes, defining what feels right
and allowing the painting to tell its story has over the past year been
a method I find quite freeing, and have really come to enjoy starting some of my
paintings this way.
My journal paintings depicts a group of women who are supportive of each other within a community sharing time with the younger generation...
Tracie Hanson encourages us in her Journal Quest workshop to experiment further with colours and backgrounds that compliment each
other and let the painting flow, pulling out the shapes, this takes practice and perseverance but it is a delight to see the finished pieces and what they have to say.
I
used charcoal pencil to draw the shapes I could see, then started muting the background colours as I wanted to
bring emphasis to the figures. The story develops and unfolds the more you look.
This was
another lovely workshop where you can take or leave some of the
techniques. I encourage you to check out
her website, she has some amazing paintings that she has produced. Blessings..
