Abstract Watercolor Journal Page by Nancy Standlee


This is about 4.5 inch square abstract watercolor that I've decided to use in my journal. It is from a class I took from Angie Vangalis the evening of April 14 at the Jaycee Center for the Arts in Irving. Below is the instructions I followed. The pencil lines in the background are 5 words chosen from a poem which are connected and the ink lines were made by writing one word and stretching it out. The dark black line is from Sumi Ink. Oh, how I wish for every workshop and class I've ever taken that I had made a journal entry with the palette colors and an example of a painting.
This journal is a Raffine Art Sketch, 100 lb. paper, 9" x 12" and 48 sheets.
