Out of the Journal Week Two

Alrighty, friends, time for show & tell! Here's my canvas. It's actually the second one I did this week. The first one I liked, then I kept adding & adding & adding and pretty soon it looked like a paint store threw up on it. I finally just gesso'd over the whole thing. I guess I'll use that one next week!

I used my Lonely Girl stamp by Stampington on this canvas...she seemed to fit well.

What did you come up with this week? Share your link in a comment, and I'll get them all posted on Monday.

Are you making any artistic discoveries? If you're finding it hard to do a canvas, go to your journal and find a favorite page. Recreate it on the canvas...easy peasy!

Hi Dina, this canvas is stunning.

I love the contrast of her standing still with all the movement in the background with the raindrops and the chevron and the drips! Here's what I did for this week. http://acolorfuljourney.com/?p=3562 Not sure what is happening in my head but I have been going with more space for the eye to rest with this challenge than I usually do.

Dina, your paintings are always amazing! You make it look so easy. I made a painting on paper this week, with watercolors and then embellished with markers. http://marciabeckett.blogspot.com/2012/08/be-glad.html

I bought a 6x12 canvas and took it out of its wrapping last night. Does that count? LOL!
I actually have a plan for it(maybe it will be ready for next Friday).
I really like the bright colors in your canvas today.

Loving your canvas this week. Your work is always so bright and colourful which is something I really struggle with, sludgy colours are definitely my comfort zone. Me thinks I need a few more classes with you!

I LOVE all the textures on this artwork and your Lonely Girl stamp is super. Fantastic colours too, this has a real urban look to it.

I love how you can have so many layers and textures but it always comes together in an aesthetically pleasing composition!! You are so brave! LOVE your work!
Here is my attempt at Abstract Painting -

Finally got some paint splashed on my canvas! It's definitely a work in progress, but I wanted to play along! I can't wait to see everyone else's efforts..... See mine at http://creative-explorer.blogspot.com/2012/08/out-of-journal.html

ohhhhh I just love your canvas Dina!! I was hoping to do something a bit more abstract this week BUT it just didn't happen. Seems my brain is only working in one direction. Anyhoo you can see my offering here :- http://bling-kin-eck.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/out-of-journal-week-2.html
