Wanderlust : Sumptuous silhouettes

The theme for the classes in Wanderlust 2021 for April was Silhouette. Despite getting behind with these lessons, I still want to do most of them so will concentrate on them for the next few posts to catch up. Week 15 was a lesson with Kate Crane. I was excited to try alcohol inks on a gelli plate and to use this greeting card holder that has been waiting in my stash for the perfect occasion.

I am loving the grungy imperfection of these alcohol ink gelli prints and this colour combo makes me happy.

Then added Quinacridone Nicko Azo gold with a baby wipe to fill in the gaps and love it even more!

I decided to celebrate the meditative state art can bring.

To finish, I added those gorgeous gates.

I love working in my small Dylusions journal for these lessons. An open spread is smaller than 1 page in my watercolour journal and enables me to focus on the specific technique without the size becoming overwhelming.
