A Greatful Heart
Hello all, a very quick post from me today to share my latest project created as part of Lifebook 2018
This latest class was taught by Kathy Glynn and was called words of gratitude. Like usual with Lifebook projects I cannot tell you exactly how I went about it, but it was basically a watercolour portrait with flowing hair into which you added words of things you are grateful for.. I pretty much did my own thing, both in terms of colours and in the way I added the words and did the actual face part of the painting.
It's a long time since I have done a portrait all in water colour, all I can say is, - it was useful practice, even though I really don't like the finished result, but this is all a journey, so live and learn and better luck next time.
Well that's it, hope you all get some creative time and that the weather is kind to you, - here more winter weather is forcast, and I am sooooo ready for Spring.

ReplyDeleteShe is very beautiful Astrid, I love how she blends into the background with your words taking precedence. Great therapy to write down all those important words..
ReplyDeleteTake Care & Stay Warm, we have the winter chill heading back to us too.. Tracey xx
This is so beautiful and gentle at the same time x Your face is fabulous and I am thinking that it can't have been easy with watercolours. TFS and hugs

Such a pretty portrait! I love the colours of her flowing hair with the wording - beautiful 😁. Hope you have sunshine where you are like we do, although we still need to wrap up warm on our daily walks as those winds feel so cold - brrrr ...lol! Happy Sunday! J 😊
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting concept. Not my favorite thing to make, but I do like looking at yours and the rainbow hair. That is very very cool. And I haven't seen anything like that before and it's cool. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI think she is beautiful, the entire page is :) We have to remember to keep our 'inner critic' away which at times is difficult. Take care Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteAstrid I think she is lovely, and oh my with water colors, not an easy task- but she is a beautiful result, even you don`t like it yourself.
ReplyDeleteThe words of thankfulness, is a wonderful idea, and looks lovely in her hair , must have been a good Sunday afternoon- snowing here again- :-(
Hugs, Dorthe
Absolutely beautiful, Astrid!
ReplyDeleteI just love all the colors in her hair. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so beautiful and serene. I love the way you added the words into her hair.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful face you created Astrid - love the design with the colorful floating hair and text of your gratitudes! I would never be able to draw a face like this! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Astrid! The colours are gorgeous and I love that the journaling is done through the hair .. makes it so much a part of the whole picture rather than just an add on. The face is lovely .. quite ethereal .. and I love the overall look of the piece. Beautiful!! hugs x
