Here's an idea you might like to play with.
Its been a favourite of mine for years.
Get yourself a sketchbook with black pages.
I use pencil crayons on mine.
Its good fun.
Don't forget to show us your pages

Nearly Merry Christmas everyone.

I haven't seen a black sketchbook. Where does one acquire one? I have lots of paint and stuff I could utilise.

Hi Carol any good art shop or Paperchase or even Amazon will sell them.

Hmm - I think I'll try colouring a sheet of my paper with black gesso and see what I can create on top of that. Great challenge Lynn, I love all the ones you have created. Are they new or ones from previous work? Mo :0) xx
ReplyDeleteThis book is one of three I created while doing my HND in Textile Design. During the holidays we had to do a page a day. The other two I did during the summer break. You might struggle if the surface is not smooth Mo but I look forward to what you come up with. If you have some black craft paper you could try it on there. Good Luck xx
DeleteMy first black page is done. It can be viewed here

When I Gessoed this side, no matter how careful I was, some managed to seep onto the other side, so I have another black side to do another time. Any tips on not getting paint onto the other side of paper will be gratefully received :0)) Mo xx

ReplyDeleteGo for it Julie, don't forget to show us what you do. I'm looking forward to it.
