Which Artist Inspires you ?

Salutations Bloggers , Lisa here with a Mixed Media update .

Today I am sharing with you the last circle journal ,I have completed in the Scrapping Clearly Circle Journal Swap. And that is the last one ,I have to complete in this swap. 

I really enjoyed the swap process and putting in some heartfelt creative goodness into the pages of each and everyone of the journals that past over my art desk .

The theme of this Journal was Inspiring Artists.

I picked the incredibly talented Australian Artist 

Del Kathryn Barton

Winner of the Archibald Prize in 2008 and 2013.

With so many wonderful layers and details to Dels' incredible work that I am just enchanted by

 the magic of each piece of her incredible work.

 I had planned to just print a few pics and talk about why her work inspires me, but the instructions in the journal asked each participant to attempt to paint in the style of the artist , 

so that is what I did, well sort of .

 I started by rubbing off some DWM paint through a stencil to add some subtle layers to the background , then roughly drew a form and using Liquitex Gesso painted that form onto the page.

Now its all about layering into the piece. More paint, pen, and pencil.

I have a new pen passion,

The Jane Davenport Inkredible Pen.. oh my lordie -insta love.

So a little more detailing with paint , my new pen , prismacolour pencils , a trusty white posca, 

that rad paint brush stamp, and some cutting of extra photos to add a little collage style Del into my own work, and I was happy with the result.

I have added the 2 artworks that inspired and where used within my Del attempt.

I just love the freedom of Collage style creative fun.

 I finished the piece with a few paper clipping from an article about Del and a

 Thickers Black font title .

I am curious what Artist/s inspires you ?
