New sketches in my 4"x6" sketchbook journal

Here is a link where I first talked about this 4"x6" sketchbook journal, click here.

I'm starting the new year with a renew sense of creating for fun. No pressure. Not everything needs to be a complete, finished, fine art piece. These two collage pieces used scraps that may or may not work well together.

 

These two collages were created as a way to unwind from my day.

These two collages were started on Friday before I left for my day job and finished Sunday night.

New sketches in my 4"x6" journal

One of my favorite materials to use in my journals is bleeding tissue paper. I love how it mimics the look of watercolor.The colors and textures were pleasing enough for these two pages in my journal without adding any additional marks.

These two collages were created over a few days. Due only to time constraints in my schedule. I'm adapting the philosophy of non-pressure when creating art. Life has enough pressure without it seeping into my art.

Another collage using bleeding tissue paper. I started with scribbling black india ink on the blank page. The mat medium I used to adhere the bleeding tissue smeared the ink. At first I wanted to clean up the smeared ink. Then I realized that I like the imperfection.
