Beth Baxter Studio

I love to use the color tests of my patterns I print as collage material in my art journal.

This is my Waves & Triangles print and the coordinating color markers I chose for this spread.

First, I cut circles out of the collage paper. Then, I glued the circles and their negative space into my journal. Next, I drew squiggly lines emanating from the circles. Then, I colored in the negative circles.

I drew tiny circles on the ends of the squiggly lines and wide lines between them. Then, I drew more lines coming out of the circles and across the spread.

I drew concentric shapes in some of the areas created by the lines, and started coloring them in.

To finish the design, I colored in the rest of the shapes and added dots to the inside if the large circles.
