Work in Progress Wednesday
Monet is one of my favourite artists. I love the impressionistic style so I decided to play with that in my journal. There are a lot of layers here. I started by blocking in colour with my permanent markers and then adding a layer of thin white acrylic paint. That didn't knock back the marker colour as much as I thought it would. I added a layer of watercolour crayons. The Neocolor 2 by Caran d'ache added good layer of colour. On top of that, I added oil pastels. The oil pastels gave me the look I was aiming to get. Obviously, I am no Monet but I am happy with my attempt. I may try something similar with fabric and then stitch into it.

Monet is one of my favourite artists too and seeing originals is amazing - you look up close and it's a load of dots you walk away and the image appears - so clever. I think your piece is really good and I can spot those water lilies poking their heads. Thanks for sharing with us at Creative Artiste Mixed Media
