Life Book's First Lesson.
I'm finally sharing it with you even though I painted it last week. I used the small moleskine which doesn't have the right paper and what happened is that the paper started pealing off when I was brayering the paint on. Now I know I need to wait for layers to dry or collage something underneath.
And it's funny how I'm not really fond of water-soluble oil pastels. I love them when I'm doing the book page portraits but not so much in an art journal. So I added some of my india ink pens and here she is now.
Linking to Paint Party Friday.

I like the india ink version, too....a bit more "soulful"...it sets a mood a bit better, I'd say.
I had to click and read your superpowers...so true :)
The india ink pens made all the difference! who makes the pens Natasha May? Your Goddess Superpowers are wonderful. xo Donna
oh...beautiful....i am loving all these powerful goddesses...xxx
Yey, koja razlika! Ali, kako ćeš napraviti svoju knjigu kad slikaš u Moleskine? Mislim, nije da je to bitno...
Absolutely gorgeous! Super girl!
I love the india ink one too nice mood ♥
I really like working with the india ink too, and I also love your version--great depth.
I'm waiting to see what's next on Monday to start my Life Book. I haven't done the self-portrait thingy--I have to wait until I'm in the mood for that.
Wonderful transformation. Great pages. Happy PPF, x
I think its a great page!

I like both versions but the india ink adds a dark moodiness to the second picture that I especially like.
http://claudinesartcorner.blogspot.com is doing this class and has blogged about it too thought you might enjoy it.
Wonderful art and thoughts!
Just adorable! :-)
Lovely start to your life book! Valerie
I love how she looks with a body added, and then the hair goes its own way. Really cool looking! I have a feeling lifebook is going to make us really busy!
I really love them both but think the India ink adds just a little more. Great job Natasha. Love the Life book. Have a great weekend.
I like it your journal page! One would never know by looking at it, that you had problems. I like the moleskin journals too and wish they had better paper. Happy PPF!
Ooow she is so beautiful Natasha! I had to keep looking at both pics to see the difference, and the inks DO make a difference...sort of more otherworldly :D XXX
I love both images but the last one has more depth.
Both versions are beautiful, Natasha May. The first one is delicate and light. The second one gives the face more form and depth. Faye
Yes, the india ink pens gave the page much more depth! Great work! I love this course, too. Isn't it fun?! :)
She's amazing! Happy PPF and Life Book!!
I love the addition of the india ink pens - perfect touch. Hope your enjoying Life Book (I decided not to take it because of the time commitment) Happy PPf!
You are so very talented!
Love the depth and richness of color you've achieved...and the text is wonderful, too.

Happy PPF!!

Beautiful, I love the colors you used and the way the ink sharpens it all into focus.
Happy PPF,

Natasha, I think she is beautiful! What do you do with all your art???
You did an absolutely amazing job!!! Both versions look great - I liked working with water-soluble crayons - never had used them in this way before. It was really fun. I embellished, too. :)
I love this spread. Lovely woman, lovely you. Great light details and colors. Great work!
I really like the india ink version as well. The face is beautiful

Wow Natasha, it's gorgeous!! I love the colors you choose, and the thoughtful face expression
The india ink pens are amazing, aren't they? I love that version a lot, although the first one is very beautiful as well. Her face has more expression in the second version. I like the dangling hearts.
wow. big love to this. Her lips are so cuters!
lovely work! happy PPF!
You have some pretty special super powers! I like this spread a lot. Such a positive affirmation.
I love your list of superpowers! The addition of the india ink pens made a beautiful difference... You've created such depth :)

Ooh, yes, adding the shadow and detail with ink really gave her so much gravity and depth...sort of like that Spiderman motto, With great power comes great responsibility.
Yes, that happens sometime, but she turned out beautiful. Have a happy & creative week!
I agree about the watersoluble pastels. I don't work well with them either. Your journal page is lovely. You can chalk it up to sometime mistakes teach us a lesson. And look how beautiful your finished piece is. Happy PPF!
You turned something I loved - into something I love EVEN MORE!!! Great stuff :)
very nice and inspiring paintings...
