Okay, this isn’t really about the sun…or about you. It’s about a starburst. My very own special starburst. Special because I created it.
Remember the Daisy Yellow Index-Card-a-Day challenge? Yes, well, it ended on July 31st. I’m sure you had enough of seeing my index card art week after week. But just as I started to panic wondering what I was going to do with all of my time since there were no index cards to create, Tammy Garcia of Daisy Yellow Art came up with a new weekly Art Journal Tangents and Tactics series. What it consists of is viewing a short video of a new technique that Tammy demonstrates and then creating something using the demonstrated technique & materials. This particular series is only once a week (whew!) for a few weeks but it will give me an outlet for my creativity and it will show me how to create new types of art. Love it!
This is the *starburst* I created this week in Art Journal Tangents and Tactics. Easy peasy and lots of fun! It was a very meditative exercise and one I want to do again.
Water colors and gel pens on watercolor paper, 9×12
If you’d like to play along (it’s free!), you can see the series on the Daisy Yellow Art website at this url: http://daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/art-journal-tangents-tactics-the-series.html
Happy creating!

Thanks! And I loved your tangled starburst. I’m not patient enough to do such detailed work but I sure admire it!

Pretty page! I agree with you, the starburst was very fun to create. I posted mine on my blog today. 🙂
