Just have fun and explore - mixed media frog

Art Completed Projects
1

I was at my art group the other day, and feeling kind of uninspired. I’m supposed to be working on a series of pictures of local vulnerable species - one of them is a little brown frog called the Booroolong Frog.

I thought I’d do a drawing in marker pen, to force myself to draw a bit looser. I didn’t love the drawing on its own, but since I was there anyway, I raided the random supplies, scissors and glue, and discarded magazines in the art room. I just threw things on the page until I started really liking it.

Collage, marker pen, watercolour, coloured pencil, a touch of gold gel pen (in the the frog’s eyes), about A4 on watercolour paper.

The magazine text seemed very apt! :frog:

This is fantastic. I love the frog, too. No idea why you didn’t at first. They have a lot of spunk! Great composition.

That little frog reminds me of an illustration I’d see in a children’s book. I love how you just kept adding until you were happy with the outcome!

I love this so much! The colours, the composition, and the text as well. I really love artwork that has writing here and there. And the composition looks really well planned even though you said you just kept adding things until you were happy :slight_smile: I also love the idea of creating artwork to highlight vulnerable species :heart: :frog: :heart:
