A Year in the Life of an Art Journal

THE PROMPT: Fight
THE SONG: Breakin' Dishes by Rihanna
Written Lyrics HERE
PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE: Bleach

Ok, this prompt was tricky for me.

First I had to wrap my head around her attitude,

which isn't where I'm at all,

and second I'm not a big fan of Rihanna.

So, it all began with an urge to paint a face.

I had a magazine clipping already collaged

into my moleskine, and I picked up a paintbrush

for the heck of it, and just starting painting.

Next thing I knew, one thing lead to another,

and I realized she HAD the attitude for a fight.

I happened to have a magazine clipping fo the dishes,

with a clock face to boot! 

There you have it.

I created a journal page for a prompt

without intention.  I love when that happens.

I incorporated bleach for her tears,

and picked a couple lyrics from the song.

I enjoyed painting the face the most.

I want to practice painting over magazine

clippings to get a better feel

for shading and proportions.

This is another attempt to paint a

magazine clipping in my moleskine.

It's not easy...she looks "slightly crooked"

but I do enjoy painting them.

(are you reading this mom?)

LOL!

My mom refers to her journal as "slightly crooked".

I like that!
