Art Journal: Circles

/2020/03/art-journal-circles/images/2020032601.jpg

This week, I challenged the members of the Micro Art Journaling group on Facebook to create a micro layout, micro page, or tiny artwork using circles as the theme. They were also given the quotation below.

This layout began with various pieces of paper, including some text, being glued down to the page with matte medium.

When that dried, I added a light, irregular coat of gesso that had been thinned with some water.

I wanted to play with a green, blue and white color combination so I after the gesso dried, I used that combination of acrylic paint to add the color to the page. Although you can’t see it, I also used some green and turquoise Color Shift paint, which gives various tones and metallic sheen to some areas.

The black circles were added using black acrylic applied with a sponge through a stencil.

The lettering and final details were added with various gel pens and Posca Pens.

This is the message of this layout:

Come out of the circle of time
And into the circle of love.

– Rumi

Use your art to heal your spirit.
