What we see depends mainly on what we look for ....

Hello my arty-farty friends out there,

Hope you're all having a brilliant week and squeezing in some creative time!

For week 3 of Wanderlust, we had a lesson with the wonderful Wilna Furstenburg. It is so inspiring to watch Wilna work and I could listen to her all day.

Here's how my journal page turned out ...

... I kind of want to go in and add some darkness and depth, but talked myself out of it. The colours make my heart happy and I love the quote by John Lubbock ...

“What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.”

Wilna showed us how to make an inky sketch with a paintbrush ...

... then add colour with acrylic inks and paints ...

... allowing some drippage (which I got a bit carried away with as I was enjoying it!). She had the brilliant idea of scanning her work at various stages, to be printed out and used to create futher journal pages. Genius!! 

Normally I don't enjoy painting flowers, but I really enjoyed this lesson :o) 

Thanks for checking out my blog today, see you again soon.
