Continuing design

Here are a couple of more pages from THE journal inspired by Rebecca Blair.  First, black and white and then I went for more color. Always learning!

Playing with pens

The first pictures are from the journal, that is almost filled, which follows the inspiration from Rebecca Blair's journal pages. The bottom pages have very old (but not valuable) postage stamps.

 Then, I continue to practice drawing. And to practice with a ballpoint pen.

August and September

Two mandalas to share.

This top one is really about my favorite for the year. The background is paste paper.

Ink and colored pencils for the design.

I'm trying to learn how to handle colored pencils. I have mixed feelings about this piece.

No Surprise

Don't be stunned, but here are some more pages from my journal that is inspired

 by Rebecca Blair!

Simple lines that I guess I like because of the control side of my personality. 

That can be good or bad!

July is gone!

We went to Ohio to see the grand kids. We left 100 degree dry heat to fine ourselves in humid 80 degree weather. Ohio is very green and California is not😎 Beauty in both worlds.  I had finished this mandala and wasn't sure about the outcome. When I came home I liked it better! It's done with ink and colored pencil. Always learning.

Staying cool

The temperatures are in the 100's this week, so I am staying inside and doing quiet projects!

Here are some more sketchbook pieces influence by Rebecca Blair. There is so much much to learn in these exercises, balance, design, techniques and color.

The mandala for this month was done with markers and colored pencil.

Lots of ideas

Yes, I continue to follow work by Rebecca Blair. Here are a few pages from my workbook.

But, I do continue doing figure drawing. Always trying to improve.

 It is so great to be in the room with some really talented artist!

The journey continues!!
