Here are some more ideas for how to add interest, color and creativity to your watercolor art journal. These are some of the things that I will do to the back of the page in my journal.
· Pre-paint with a light watercolor wash of cobalt blue, permanent rose and transparent
yellow watercolor paints for a colorful journaling background.
· Journal your thoughts and about the area you are visiting. Be sure to include the date.
· Journal about the area, weather, new friends and events.
· Using an archival glue stick or matte medium, glue collected vacation ephemera to your journal pages. Overlap and connect object.
· Paint the page with black gesso before adding things. Use white gel pens on this page.
Paint a collection - here I did a study of barns and buildings
I love every one of these J.. what's not to love after all! But. I my favorite is the olive grove.. nice color, sketching, writing.. what great memories that brings back.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by all the lovely greens in the olive trees while painting in Provence, France. I was trying to figure out how to capture that lovely green! Thanks for the comment!
