November Art Journal Calendar

 Hello all.

Here is my art journal calendar for November, which I'm linking to Wendy's On, in, or beside the sea theme at Art Journal Journey.


As I often do, I started with a layer of teabags. I scraped on some PaperArtsy Fresco acrylic paint, Midnight, Captain Peacock and Snowflake, then painted a mixture onto the centre of the pages. I stencilled the fish with Pewter Fresco acrylic, and used a Tim Holtz letters and numbers die and silver mirror card to create the title.


I outlined and added features and numbers to the fish with a black gel pen.


I was inspired by the crashing waves on the rocks of the North Devon coast that we recently visited.



That's Woolacombe beach in the distance, a beautiful stretch of sandy shore.


Aren't those rocks amazing?! Some parts of the coastal path were narrow and rocky and a little bit challenging, but I wouldn't have missed it. And we were very blessed with some beautiful sunny Autumn days.

And finally, here's my completed October art journal calendar.


Thanks for visiting,

Alison

  10. You definitely had a scenic getaway. What a clever calendar idea to fit the AJJ theme. Always love seeing PA chalk paint used, I have several bottles and love how they apply and can be worked. Happy new month to you, xoxo
