Let's Face It - Art journal Page by Fiona

Hello Viva fans!! Fiona here with you today to share a little art journal spread I created using some of Mary Vogal Lozinak's amazing stamp range over at Viva Las Vegastamps!


I have to say, I wasn't "in love" with this page until almost at the very end. It took a long time to come together. Maybe because I'm so used to creating with lots of bright colour and this time it was a lot more darker with the black I added to the top corners.

 I also struggled with liking my abstract faces I drew. I wanted to practice them, I see everyone really good at drawing faces and I know I suck at it so I thought maybe if I do them really abstract that would appease my inner critic ..... but alas, I'm not convinced I like them LOL


I do really like the stamped faces on this page. They are not stamped very clearly but that doesn't really phase me. I enjoyed highlighting them with my white marker to bring out their inner beauty.


I'll continue to practice my face drawing and maybe one day I'll be as good at it as Mary is .... cough cough I doubt it. the lady is a genius!!!



What I really like about this page is the message in the title "Let's Face it, We're all the same" I truly believe in equality and am very passionate about it so this works for me. I don't often get political in my art but for this page, I'm willing to make an exception

I hope you've enjoyed my facey page. I think the more I look at it the more it grows on me. I'll catch you all again soon xx

I love your abstract faces! I suck at drawing, period. Faces would be the hardest. If I could come out with abstract ones as well as yours, I’d be having fun with that. Maybe I better give it a try...you inspire me to do so. It seems that exaggerating facial features would make it seem fun to draw faces.
