ICAD #3 and 4

These index cards show another couple of techniques that I have wanted to try but my art journal seemed too precious :

Eiffel Tower Stamp by I Brake for Stamps

Pan Pastels

I've discovered that the index cards are like journalling on loose pages.  This is also something that I wanted to try but there were so many options of paper size and type that I got overwhelmed.  Index Cards removed the options and I might be ready to give it a more serious go when the ICAD project is finished.  Thanks Tammy!

ATC's

I'm making a few ATC's for the upcoming Vancouver ATC Group swap.

I got a great tip from I am Rushmore to use an old large print library book for captions.

May Flowers

I'm continuing to "Draw Your Awesome Year" with Joanne Sharpe.  These are my pages for May.

ICAD #2

ICAD #2 is a quick sketch of dogwood blossoms.

Watercolor and Inktense Pencils

ICAD #1

Experiments with Masking Fluid, pointed pen nibs and watercolour

Now I know that works!

Calligraphy Practice

If you don't practice you don't improve!

Index-Card-a-Day Starts Today

Daisy Yellow's Index-Card-a-Day art series starts today.  I'm tempted to join this 61 day project of doing art on index cards because sometimes I just want to experiment or scribble and for some reason I find my art journals "too precious".  Especially those luscious ones with the 140 lb. watercolour paper in them.

Index cards are cheap and non threatening.  I think I have some around here.  If you're at all tempted click the link above and watch the inspiring 3 minute video.

Is anybody in?
