Be Both Soft and Wild

 Encouraged by videos by Alisa Burke, I've been keeping an art journal in a cheap composition book. I thought it wouldn't work because of the cheap paper, but as Alisa says, the paints make the paper stronger. I've enjoyed it because it's not a precious book, and I feel free to experiment, make lists, and make a mess! 


This page was inspired by notes and thoughts during a presentation led by Flora Bowley, which I did in white pen over a previously painted page. I wanted the woman to be dancing and twirling. Hopefully the twirling shows through the way I drew her hair and her legs. The quote from Victoria Erickson seemed perfect to finish off the page.
