Week 24 – Use Book Paper or Text
This week, we are using old book paper or text for our challenge. I decided to rip a page out of an old book and simply sketch a picture and paint! Having just visited Amsterdam and spending an afternoon in the Van Gogh museum, I was inspired by the colors, lines and painterly style of Vincent. Please know, that I would never attempt to compare my own work to Van Gogh! I just felt moved to use my paintbrush and paints in a looser fashion and work on a painterly style. The result is a little pathway strewn with weeds and wildflowers that pass by some old, quaint houses.
I can’t wait to see how you use your paper and text!

This is beautiful, Lo! Love it and the loose style.

Love this Van Gogh inspired page! A work of art in its own right! You always inspire me!
Thank you so much Patricia – I am inspired by my readers, that’s for sure!
Thank you so much Patricia!
So beautiful Lo!

Painting loose is something I NEVER achieve no matter how hard I try. You take a visit to see Van Gogh and produce a great looseness. Not only do I wish I could do this, I wish I was walking down this path and smelling those colorful flowers!
I struggle so much with that too Mary – I am always saying, "just one more stroke!"
Wow! You just whipped that up loosely. Stunning!! So love it!!
Awww, thanks Joyce!
i absolutely love it…..and i really do believe Van Gogh would, too!! xox
You are too sweet, Lori! Thankfully my life is not as tortured as his 🙂
This is just gorgeous….I was transported.
That makes me happy to hear! Thank you!
Love this. It reminds me of VanGogh too. I would love to be walking down that path. I adore using book pages, and can’t wait to do this week’s challenge.
Thank you Joyce! I will be on the lookout for yours!
