Try to Fail or…In my Art Journal Today

“It’s easier to succeed if you’re trying to fail” – Philip Guston

So very true  – and something I tell my students quite often  too – if you just enjoy the process and don’t care about the outcome – the result usually rocks for you!

I love using some of my left over color chips on my palette – I peel it of and apply it with Gel Medium – gives texture and interesting little color fields in the art journal. Texture in the background was achieved with heavy gesso through punchinella and then I painted over and applied again a thinner layer of gesso here and there to lighten areas up.

    Cosmetic sponges have changed the way that I play in my art journal.
