Monthly Muse August - Week #1

Welcome to the Art Journaling Monthly Muse!



Muse:
verb: to reflect deeply on something
noun: the source of artistic inspiration​

This past Mixed Media Monthly (M3) kit made me think of Frida Kahlo, why? Maybe it was the bold colors or maybe it was all the nature elements, stamps that were part of the kit. The thing is I love Frida, I love her dark art and I love the POP ART influence that people are adding to the vision of her.

This month I will be using Frida art work and work art inspired by Frida as our inspiration. If you don't care for Frida please still join us and use any of the amazing faces and dolls in the store or around the internet.

Here is my mood board, but I created an even bigger board in PINTEREST HERE.

​

WEEK #1 Inspiration: BOLD COLORS
WEEK #1 Challenge: Use Brushes in bold colors and a face.

Here is my page for Week #1:

In addition Christa created one cool triangle template that you could use (Christa's awesome template is HERE).

I love the dark/twisty thing she had going on.
