The Empty Page Journal

 


This was an extra page I did after I had finished the assigned homework and was still a few days away from the March class.

This was a tutorial from The Postman's Knock.  You begin by dropping a blob of color to make a branch and then using a straw, blow the branch into shape. Then add leaves, sitting bluebirds, and flying bluebirds (or dive bombers). 

I also added the quote: the bluebird carries the sky on its back attributed to Henry David Thoreau

  6. You had great luck moving ink through the straw. I've never been able to get it to move more than about 1/16 of an inch. :) It was a little chilly today, but the snow melted and the sky/sun was beautiful! How about in Sutton?
