I also did my mark making over my swipe one.

Does anyone else find it hard to know when to stop?

Great pages, @LuckyXIIICreations and @Abbeeroad!

I’m finally caught up to my swap obligations, so I’m hoping to get to some of this week’s exercises this weekend. Really looking forward to the cardboard swiping.

2nd last rainbow smash is wicked awesome.

I have swaps to wrap up, then I’ll start these.

Love your landscapes and the outlines!! :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

My landscape is not abstract but I did try not to do details. I should have blended the flowers a bit.

Today’s I used a past one and added to it. It was too perfect for it.

Great work, @geekgirl and @LuckyXIIICreations! All the rainbow colors are making me happy.

I had too much adulting this week; hoping to find some headspace to play next week.

Here are some of my most recent pages:

Expressive landscape + tracing over brushstrokes:

Shape as a focal point (debating painting over these, lol):

Splatter (over paint over words turned shapes):

Embrace empty space (really loved this one):

I still feel like maybe I follow the examples to closely and don’t have much of my own “voice” in these pages, but I’m working on it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Did a couple more today:

Crunch it (crunched a piece of notebook paper and transferred lines to my journal):

I wasn’t sure about colors at first but they grew on me. They make me think Florida orange for some reason.

And connect the dots…over my finger paint and white paint over shapes:

There might be too much going on there now, lol.
