Hi folks,
I wasn't lucky to see the recent super moon long enough. We had heavy clouds and smog that night. Then all I see was a very big smeared yellow ball :((. Although, the night before (May 5th), the sky was clear and I had a glimpse of the awesome super moon!. Did anyone had a great time watching it??.
I grabbed my journal and started painting. I was awestruck. I watch the sky every now and then, looking at Pleiades and Orion's Belt. I'm sort of an amateur stargazer too.
My journal entry today is capturing the super moon!. Easy peasy, because I'm using just black, silver & pink acrylic colors. I painted black gesso all over the page and stamped 4 large circles with a mug. These circles supposed to be different moon phases, can you tell? Oh, and I finger-smudged pink paint over a strip of punchinella inside these 'moons'. They made good moon craters! Moon is made of cheese, no?
Added some lunar rubons and a grid transparency. I think the grids make me feel like I'm looking at the dark space from my space orbiter. LOL. Used washi & masking tapes to stick the plastic down to the page. Lastly, sprinkled silver paint by rubbing the bristle of a large paint brush. I guess, you could use any clean brush to do this. And that silver dusty dots are my stars!.
"Are we alone?". My favorite question, everyday. BTW, I'm a fan of the Ancient Alien series. :)). Okay, lets come back to Earth.
If you did any art journaling this week, I like to see them. Or maybe you like to share breathtaking photos of the super moon. You could link them up using the InLinkz at the bottom of this post. After a week, come back and check out what everyone is working on. (I hope the link works).
