Coming Together


I decided to photgraph this art journal page in process.  I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.


This is the beginning of the page - I made sprays with different colors and water. This first spray was made with Cadmium Yellow and  Cereluan Blue.

 
Next, I added strips of masking tape horizontally.


Then, I sprayed Pthalo Turquoise and Jenkins Green.


I put squares of modeling paste, and stamped them with plastic canvas for texture.  I stamped on punchinella with Stayzon with a sponge.



Last, I added color to the squares, put on the dots, stencil, and words.  Before I finished, I added some more white to the squares.  This is one that really looks better in person!

Thanks, BJ, I'm using a Multi-Media book - it's made for wet media - but I always Gesso it first.
