Triangles are the new circles. Really.

Triangles are the new circles. Really., a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

As I was making this page in my Canson Mix Media journal, I decided the lowly triangle doesn't get a whole lot of respect in your average, every day art journal.

You know. Most artists prefer swirls and circles.

I rarely see triangles. And why *is* that, I ask. Respect the triangle!! ;-)

So this page is for you, triangle!

I used a base of yellow acrylic paint, followed by the dots and dashes in red. I made my own funky stencil using a piece of stiff paper and a hole punch/comb binder machine. Then I added a layer of old gold acrylic paint, with another layer of terra cotta. For the triangles I used watercolor crayons and a waterbrush.

It's just...you know...kinda funky. In a triangular sort of way. ;-)



Have a triangle day!
