The beauty of Anna's patreon classes and collage sheets are that you can dip in and out and come back to them at a later date. I've had a bit of crazy January with work and I tried to set aside some time today to do some art. I need this for my own well-being - my word for 2018 is 'nourish' and in order to nourish my mind and soul I have to allow some time each week for art journalling. I remembered that Anna did a lovely tutorial in November on different types of masking - so I used that to create a page in my art journal to honour my word of the year.
I started by drawing the hands - I normally sketch before bed - it helps my brain to calm before going to sleep and the following day I used some masking fluid to mask off the hands. Once it was dry I painted a galaxy - it's meant to look like the hands are cupping the galaxy. I find starry nights and looking at pictures of space calming and so this was meant to represent my gathering of the resources I need to nourish myself.
Anna has added some really wonderful collage sheets this month - my favourites are the dirty pour images - all the joy of dirty pours with none of the mess - plus you can include them in your journal - something you're not able to do as the paint pouring has to be on canvas.
