Failure Is An Option

Now that I am overcoming the concern for certain results, my art journal is a playground for mistakes and experiments.

This one is a failure in a good way:

Ink, Copic markers, Sharpie pens

I like the flower head technique but the colors do not work well together.  However, the patterns derived from the technique are nice and I will create other interesting patterns in future work.  Out of my failure comes something positive :-)

This next one is an experiment in smearing:

Oil pastels, Inktense pencil

The flower heads are sort of likable and I believe these colors better are better coordinated.

Swimming against the current, in my world:

Ink, gel pen
