August seems to have flown by so fast - there's just one more day left
for our AJJ 'anything with eyes' challenge so this will be my last page.
This is a mix of watercolour painting and digital - I hope you like it :)
Before any digital alterations she looked like this
I used black pigment pen and white Posca paint pen for details on her eyes.
I scanned my painting and then, using my favourite digital software, cut out the flowers in her hair and added them back on top of the original painting with some shadow making it look more 3d.
I also added some other digital bits for some of the flower centres and
some flower-swag looking things that I made ages ago.
and then finished by adding a quote digitally too.
'Eye' had a lot of fun with this theme and visiting all who joined in..
what an amazing selection of beautiful pages for 'anything with eyes'
Thanks everyone and thanks for all the wonderful comments left for me.
I am now looking forward to the next theme in September
and wishing that host a fun month too :)
And its Friday...so... have a great weekend
Thanks for stopping by...

ReplyDeleteYour use of digital art is so amazing. I couldn't believe the difference between the amazing journal page and the digitally altered one. It was like a different journal entry all together. I really was taken by the 3-D effect. It was a truly lovely end to your month of hosting. It is I who should be thanking you for making this such a great month art wise and for your hosting skills. You have certainly made Art Journal Journey proud this month, dear Gill.

Beautiful page and I love your thank you artwork too! It was such a fun challenge and it was funny that the reason I didn't participate as much as I would have liked to was due to my two black eyes, which matches your challenge perfectly ...lol 😉. Thanks for being such a fabulous host and wishing you a Happy September! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious glow to her complexion, and the flower garland in her hair is magical.
