Perhaps it was because the adjacent page was inspired by the fictional, dreamy world of Oz, or perhaps it was all the shiny red apples in the fruit bowl, but when I sat down at my art journal and looked at the blank page I decided that it should be a fairy tale and that tale should be Snow White.
I had fun experimenting with lots of different mixed media techniques on this journal page. I collaged tissue paper, painted with gesso, and lifted paint to create texture. I also forced myself to draw hands in a particular gesture.

That apple is jewel-like. And your rendition of her hands…lovely.
Thanks, Claudia. Hands continue to present a challenge for me but I’m slowly improving which spurs me on to keep including them in compositions.
They are complex subject but worth the effort, I think, because they can express so much.
I Love this lovely lady
Thank you!
Snow is not just a beauty but someone who has a burning fierceness in her. Those hands are difficult to do and you are definitely improving.
Thank you!
Your drawing is beautiful. You got her hands right! I am still struggling in that part.
Thank you very much!
How did I miss this one? Wish I could paint hands like that!
Thank you. I am hoping to get better at painting and drawing hands by forcing myself to feature them more.
