In the class I taught today we looked at the art of Teesha Moore, the amazing artist who introduced me to art journaling over 20 years ago. We talked about what we observed in her style and these are the notes that I made, highlighting the things I want to remember...
It is not a great photo but you get the idea...I used a craft tag...created little journal boxes for the different points that I wanted to note...used a variety of "fonts" to letter in my notes. (I used my trusty Sharpie Pen for this.) Then I added a bit of embellishments with my Prismacolor colored pencils. Finally, I added little pops of color with the Sakura Gelly Roll gel pens in fun neons.
Then this is one of the pages that I created Teesha-style...
(watercolored background...plain and simple since I knew I would be adding lots more to this page...)
Then came the collaged borders...and the girl (I couldn't resist her cranky little face!)...and her autumn dress...doodling...shading...and journaling...
So, so much fun!!! It is so good to look at other artists and their work...really study them...find out what resonates with you, and then experiment, play, and learn new things!
Thank you Teesha Moore...for sharing your authentic style and for so much inspiration.
