Journals come in all shapes and sizes and deal with a broad range of subject matter. This band of color represents thoughts streaming through the mind in categories much like they might appear in a journal...or a blog!
This piece could easily fit in the category of "colorist". There are artists who do amazing work with color. A "colorist" uses color as the subject matter rather than a particular image. Texture and gradation also become supporting roles in this type of production.
The entire piece was created with paste paper and shaper tools. After creating the textured bands of color, I used a 1.50" shaper tool to scrape off the paste to create soft areas of color with a smooth texture. Having the contrast between rough and smooth textures is the heart of this piece. I personally know a "colorist" who does amazing work with color in oils. Her name is Rebecca Bennett. Check out her website.
