Mixed media collage.
I started with turquoise acrylics, and once dry, I covered with a thin layer of white gesso.
I added the torn piece of a sunset from a magazine to the top right corner with gel medium.
I added cadmium orange - loooove that colour - here and there. Sometimes diluted with water or gesso.
Using a stencil, I added texture with texture paste mixed with touches of the turquoise acrylic.
I stamped on some text and inked around the edges of the page.
I added the text with orange market, and lined it with black - unibal fine point.
Remember to let the layers dry unless you want to get a little colour mixing going on - like I did with the cadmium orange at the top.

Let me know if this is useful to you! Have fun and play play #Play.

Black waterproof pen #.5 and water colours on your average writing journal paper. As usual, the paper crinkled under the water colours, and now every painted page sings. I love that sound. It makes me want to use these "normal" jurnals more than the thicker ones intended for water colours.
How about you?
