This next page in the blue section of my Rainbow Art Journal was actually created back in February. It was made with the contents of that month’s Art Snacks box. I received blue and green products so I decided to produce an illustration of an Air Sprite. The blue of her clothing is an acrylic ink and the colour of her hair was actually produced by diluting the pigment from a metallic green marker. That same marker has a nib that produces dots of varying sizes depending on the pressure placed on it. As you can see, I had a lot of fun creating those dots.

I like how she is surrounded by the swarm of dots.
Thanks. It was so fun to just press that marker down and create dots. I am surprised I did not fill the whole page with dots.
You could just do that, you know. And connect them or not. Or move to another page and keep going. Because it is fun.
I am sure I probably will at some point.
The dots do add a lot and I really like her hair.
Thank you. I really could have kept dotting for ages. It was such a rhythmic, calming thing to do.
What pen did you use for the dots?
It’s a Zig Clean Color Dot marker in metallic green. The pen has two ends so one nib makes the dots and the other is more of a traditional marker nib with a finer point. Jet pens stocks them so has much more information.
Thanks.
What a delightful flowing look you got in her hair!! The dots are just the right amount – enough to add an airy quality!!! You really made good choices of what to put in and what to leave out… your design sense is wonderful!!!
Thank you very much, Sue. It is funny you say that because, when I was studying Art and Design at High School, my teacher would constantly comment about how my design skills were stronger than my art skills.
Not that I thought you are meaning it in the same way my teacher was!
Lol!!! I’m not certain one can have design skills without also having art skills – or vice versa. The two skills are twinned in my mind anyway. But I can quite image that you, me and your art teacher could easily use up a whole bottle of wine while discussing the topic!! 🤣
