"Be Bold or Italic - never Regular" is the quote from Dyan used this week. Now I got muddled last week and should have posted this one then so here I am a week late and what a quote it was. You think about it, using Dylusion figures what would you have done. I know Wendy struggled too.
So what did I do? I could only think of a keyboard having a sign for Bold and one for Italic so I thought of normal keying in as being Regular and I would use those in some ways. I then printed out the letters, enlarged them and treated them to the change leaving the R as normal.
My page began as a Brusho one, using blue, yellow and green predominantly and then I put some texture paste through a stencil but you can hardly see it, it dried pretty transparent. I had used my Brushos in shades of green previously on a sheet of paper and I had some left so I tore it into four strips and glued them down on the page to create three sections.
Next I used the smallest figures I have and tried to make the Bold one a bit flamboyant with her hat and outfit, but really would have been better using fluorescent paints to colour her than my Promarkers. I chose a lying down figure and sort of wedged her up a bit on her block to give the impression of her being in an Italic pose and used a demure figure which is one of the older figures of Dyans to indicate Regular.
Originally I was just going to leave the quote as it came (all together) but then I cut each section up and put it in the appropriate column. So there you have it my interpretation of what is a difficult phrase in my book to illustrate in this way!
I am entering this into Eileen's challenge on Art Journal Journey where she is asking for "green" to be represented in your artwork. Well, it certainly is green!
