Illustrated Journal – a group of motifs and patterns – web page 2 – Angela Porter

It’s a dismal, moist Saturday right here within the Valleys of South Wales, and the climate matches my temper. My interior solar touchstone of contentment continues to be there; I can sense it as a continuing beneath the clouds and know that it’s there the identical means I do know the Solar is behind the clouds (or the Earth at evening). All storms, or successions of storms, finally cross, and I do know that the stormy interior climate is expounded to one thing(s) I’m having to work by way of and type out. I’ll get there. I used to be reminded at the moment that I’ve received myself by way of such occasions up to now and that I’m fairly able to doing so once more (due to my good friend for reminding me!).

To make use of my metaphor, I’ll climate the storms that come and go, and artwork will assist me achieve this.

Once I sit and draw, my thoughts empties of all of the ideas the unfavourable self-talk likes to shout at me, the sunny touchstone shines by way of the clouds slightly extra and the contentment will increase. For some time, I’ve a break from all of it. And once I cease drawing, I really feel higher, even when the storm begins up once more.

I will likely be fantastic; I’m in some ways. And there’s all the time artwork. And writing. And music. And Star Wars!

Oh, the web page above. I labored on it final evening and at the moment. I’ve accomplished as a lot as I need on the web page. Partly colored or shaded, and a few areas with a darker background. It’s, to me, a option to recommend what I may do. That’s why I like pages like this. Unfinished, or inconsistently completed, with potentialities and potential and inspiration.

I used 05 and 01 Sakura Pigma Micron Pens to attract the design. So as to add some shade and the background, a Heat Gray III Pitt Artist Brush pen was used. And numerous Graphitint pencils and a water brush added color to different motifs.
