Simpel and decorative

Simple, quick background - watercolor, acrylic ink, marker, stencil, paint stained tissuepaper- , cut into small pieces, reposition pieces (or not)  and put in nice frame....

Mixed media collage

 

I finished this mixed media collage today.
I used to old small collages, pastels, white acrylic paint, paper scraps, image transfer, glue, acrylic medium and a tea bag.
Because of the word 'index' I put it on top of the right column.
I love the colors. I noticed most of my collages recently have these vertical lines.
I am happy with it.

Art Journal every day

My art journaling this week has been mostly abstract.
I was inspired by a documentary of one of my favorite photographers.
She creates beautiful almost abstract pictures.
Her name is Friederike von Rauch.

Here are some of the collages I made this week.
I used the same paper for all of them.

 

Maybe I will add some lines with a black marker later, I'm not sure.

Simpel

Before I was properly diagnosed with a thyroid condition I didn’t have the energy to do the things I wanted to do.

So I improvised.

I  started to make simple collages. Very simple, but these are still my favorites.

This was the beginning of my love for abstract art.
These simple collages forced me to think about composition and color, and I began to learn about design.
Simple can be very difficult...

Here are some inspiring videos for creating abstract art:
