More from Sketchbook Daily

This is my third post about daily entries in my sketchbook.  Last week's post is here: February Daily.

Day 14
I scraped grey paint (rather too thickly) through a dandelion stencil on a piece of painted paper. I cut the paper into 3 inch squares and then each square into 5 strips. I mixed up all the strips and reassembled them.

Day 15
Another collage using the gelli prints plus some previously printed repair tissue

Day 16
A monoprint stuck into my sketchbook with bits of stencilled repair tissue on top and then leaves stencilled with black paint

Day 17
Stencilling and mark making

Rolled a mix of paints with a brayer as a background and then stencilled over

Day 18
Piece of paper where I cleaned up the paint I'd been using. Stuck into my sketchbook and stencilled over with a black pen and then doodled on.

Day 19
I went off-piste with a page in my sketchbook today. I read in Cas Holmes' Stitch Stories book about putting paper napkin over a map. I have used paper napkins before but not over a map. The method in the book seemed very complicated and involved bondaweb and other stuff. I just used gel medium as I usually do.

Back on course!
A piece of painted paper from a previous course with some stamping and a photo on the left. When I pluck up the courage I'll have a go at drawing on the painted paper

A photo I took of grasses. I tried making the image bigger and changing it to greyscale and to black and white. I drew with a water brush and some watercolours.

Day 20
I attended a printing workshop today and used some thermofax screens to print on this Khadi paper. At home I stuck the paper into my sketchbook and did the stitch lines with a pen.

Glimpses of Jesus 7

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about Joseph's life and how his experiences foreshadowed Jesus in Genesis 37-50.

I cut out the shape of a cloak/dress and used watercolours to colour the left side as thought it was made from patchwork.  I wrote the similarities on each side of the coat and glued it into my journal.

Do have a look back through the posts on the Glimpses of Jesus blog where you will find links to other people's art and poetry.

Thanks for stopping by.

February Daily

This is my second post about working daily in my sketchbook through February.  My first post can be found here.

Day 7
A collage using papers I already had.

I went back to this page from last week and woroked into it with Neocolor I crayons.

Day 8
I was trying out a colour exercise from Dina Wakley but it didn't totally work out!

I went back to start working into this.  Still needs work.

Day 9
I made quite a few monprints with my gelli plate limiting the colour scheme. These are just a few of them.  I used sketchbook paper and Deli paper for the prints.

This sketchbook page started from putting the wet stencil from the monoprinting onto the page.  I went back and used Pan Pastels through the stencil on the left.

Day 10
A collaged background using some of the monoprints plus some other bits.

Day 11
I glued one of the monoprints into my sketchbook and then collaged the pieces on the right.  I drew round the image of the leaf on the left that was part of the monoprint.

Day 12
Another collage.

Day 13
I limited myself to a few sheets of paper on the table next to me and used the same papers in each of these 3" square collages.  When the glue was dry I used a bottle top and white acrylic paint to stamp circles and then sketched over the top with a black pen.

Thanks for stopping by.
