she loved the earth

Mmm I really like this one.


Watercolour, gouache and pen.

Text reads:

she loved the earth

she had art and words

she was wild and she had a particular mentality
but
peace was felt

She was now

The colours have not scanned well at all. The blue is, in fact, green and the pinks are nowhere near as pink as they look here. Gouache. Text reads:

She was now
she was silk
a self clear and round and absolutely sweet.

we seek art

Background is gouache.

we seek art

pen a delight in orange

Must find a way to isolate the text more thoroughly or learn to paint up to and not over the lines :).
I believe that others use some sort of masking fluid/pen, will find out. Tried regular masking fluid in another book and it took the print off - so not a lot of use.

memory of a landscape

Background is worked in watercolour pencils used as ordinary coloured pencils. The page was gessoed first which accounts for the irregular texture - an experiment.

born
memory of a landscape
out of bounds

I rest in my fantasy life

my circle a retreat
