SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE

The theme for July is circles: I used colored inks to show the lights and shadows of a child's face. A friend said it looked like the kid was sick...thanks. Moving on.

MINI COLLAGE WORKSHOP

     Art Mundo had a summer workshop taught by Lee Whitridge where all you brought was an apron. There were four creative people and  bags of mixed media goodies that we used to create our  collages. Lee talked about design formats, tools, techniques that she uses and then summed it up with...there really aren't any rules; just have fun!
     
     I was able to finish one monochromatic collage using the diagonal design pattern. The background was fairly detailed so I kept the top layers very simple.

The second mini was four layers of minimal design so  I added a coin and a touch of Chinese red.
It was a good therapy session for me :)
