Hi everyone.
I like to share another collage page that I completed two days ago. This time, I'm playing with fuschia, pink, metallic mint and dark green colors.
Mostly I just used my fingers to color the page, either by dabbing, or making circles. Certainly no rules. Spritz water if the colors get too thick. Another fun technique I tried was using the tip of a small paint brush to draw circles!. Although, you may have to repeat making the circles as paint don't stick well on the tip. I even drew the leaves with that. So random, I know.
With the tip of the brush, I made small dots all over the page. After that dried, with a brayer I colored the edges randomly with white gesso. Stamped a dragonfly on a scrap paper, then glued it on the page. At this point, my page was already full of colors but I think I could add more texture & words on it. So, then I glued on scrap lace, washi tapes and even masking tapes!. Masking tapes are so cool. You can doodle on them, paint, stamp or mist.
So, that's it. I'm going to figure out how to add the 'link' tool, so everyone can share their art journal pages here. THAT would be fun. Any clue??. I LOVE to see your work :)). But till then, stay tune.
XO,
