Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: Six weeks ago or so I started this personal series for me to stretch my creative thoughts in another direction and decided I would try some journal pages inspired by world-renowned artist Piet Mondrian. He used lines, boxes and mostly bold primary tones (from what I remember) in his paintings.
For some of mine, My Mondrian Mondays Journaling Page #6, I tried to quarter off block work, go reverse symmetrical, and on a few I've counted lines going in three's or sixes for most of the blocks. White areas have varied...but then so did his. On some of his large paintings, he used lots more white areas than I have. But on this #6 installment, I did strive for something different...or two major things...take a look =
when: #6 will be published on Monday April 21, 2025
what: MMMJP #6 with a few rotations to see how the colors look from different angles:
supply vendors for the how-to notes:
1. journal notebook; graph paper pages; 80 sheets; made in Indonesia = distributed by Dollar General stores
2. eraser, metal ruler, colored pencils from a variety of vendors (Crazy Art, Crayola, Color Club, Liqui-mark) = stash items
3. black ink pen

oh WOW this came out really well, I love the way you're "riffing" on the Mondrian theme and also incorporating other sets of colors and ideas!!! (I love that you put a recap of the previous ones at the end... it's cool to see them all together!) ♥
