This is Golden fluid acrylics Anthraquinone blue with Quinacridone magenta over the top then rubbed back with a dry paper towel through a StencilGirl stencil. It came out a lot darker than I thought it would.

Day 22 #100dayproject
This isn’t a great scan colour-wise – it’s actually more teal. The contrast is about right, but overall it’s a little more subtle. I used Golden Fluid acrylics in Teal and Benzimidazolone medium yellow applied through a StencilGirl stencil. The yellow is very transparent so there’s this subtle range of yellow greens that I really like.

Day 21 #100dayproject
Golden fluid acrylics Turquoise (phthalo) and Quinacridone magenta. This is much richer than the scan shows. Thank heavens, this is the last day of the messed up numbering!

#100dayproject
A couple of years ago I did #ICAD (index card a day) for a year and those works were exhibited at The Village gallery in Eltham. I don’t want a year-long project but 100 days might be good. But what to do? So many things appeal…
My first love in art is colour. As a teenager I bought a lot of makeup but never really wore it. It must have driven Mum nuts. Later, I collected tapestry wool, patchwork fabrics and so on, but never creating much. In my mid-20s – between a BA and a PGDip in sociology – I did an art course through The Learning Connexion in Wellington.
And there, finally, was the answer. All that time I had been collecting colour. Paint, pastels, pens, crayons, inks; glorious colour. So that’s what my #100dayproject is going to focus on – colours and how they sit together, how they mix, how they layer.
I usually join #BlogJune to jumpstart my writing but don’t have it in me this year. A library friend has started a thread on Twitter where we’re posting an image a day for #BlogJune and can write as much or little as we want, so I’m combining the two things.
This is Golden fluid acrylic Phthalo blue (red shade) and Liquitex heavy body medium yellow.

Getting down the bones
Sometimes all I need in my art journals are the bare bones in order to remember an event or feeling. Other times I write a lot; how readable it is depends on the content. I’m generally very open with what I share, but there are times when I can’t have other people reading the text. The ‘feeling let down’ page was one of those rare moments, so the story behind the page is on the back of a tag. I can lift it up and read if I want to, but probably won’t. Getting it written down was enough. Cathartic!
