This is the other page in my Rainbow Art Journal that I completed over Winter break. The page was covered in all sorts of collaged odds and ends. Essentially any scrap of blue leftover from another project, any blue postage stamp, any interesting labels ended up adhered to this page. One prominent label was from a wine bottle and the name of it – Capuchon – gave me the idea for the illustration. I made the hat wonky because that asymmetry is something I enjoy and the side benefit of the floppy brim was that I only had to draw one eye. No challenge of creating two matching eyes.
You have a nice way of combining media!
Thank you. This art journal is my place for experimenting with combinations and seeing what works and what doesn’t.
I like your style – a floppy brim so you only had to do one eye! Cunning plan.
It definitely made it easier. I often draw eyes that don’t match or line up.
I’ve always loved the look of the hat over the eye. Very chic, very saucy, and full of determination.
I like the look too. It’s not something I’d wear as I don’t like having my eyes covered but I like it on other people. Of course, that’s probably because I enjoy asymmetry.
