This week's art journal challenge for The Documented Life is to create a page inspired by something or someone (like an artist) that we like. I like so many artists, and so many styles of art, that this can be a real challenge for me to do. But as I thought about it I decided that I wanted the talented artist, Stephanie Corfee to be my inspiration.
I recently bought one of Stephanie's books called, Creative Illustration & Beyond. I loved it so much that I also just ordered another of her books called, Creative Doodling & Beyond. I love Stephanie's style, I love her use of rich, vibrant colors, and all the detail that she puts into many of her pieces. So it was really very easy for me to be inspired by her art. This was the result.
The page on the left is just one of my weekly pages that I create. I add notes there and what not, or just little anecdotes about the day. It's the page on the right that is inspired by Stephanie Corfee. I love how it turned out! I used Inktense blocks in the background and then doodled over the colors with white and black pens.
If you are interest in seeing the fabulous art of Stephanie Corfee, please click on her name below.
She has a gallery there, and you can see her books there also. I can't wait until her Doodling book arrives this week. I know that I will put it to good use with both of my current art journals!
