Faking it
Yesterday was the start of International Fake Journal Month. It took me forever to come up with a game plan. At the nth hour I decided to work in a square format, watercolor paper, and to paint only birds and botanicals. And since I rarely use gouache, this seems like a good time to incorporate that into the mix as well - it's not my real journal so it doesn't matter, right? Remember: Life is short, why live only one?
Lovely colours in the bird! It really attracts attention! But what is a fake journal month anyway?
ReplyDeletebeautifully drawn =) he's handsome!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun to do!
ReplyDeleteAnna -- Google International Fake Journal Month. Basically you create a journal that is not typical of your usual style. I never use gouache, for example, but for one month I will. I usually add words, this month I won't. I usually just draw anything, this month it's only birds and botanicals. I don't typically add a background, this month I will. Some people take on a different personal but I haven't gone that route.
Wowsers! This is one terrific chicken! I love the wet look you've achieved in the eye. Super.
