My art journal pages are messy, intense, emotional, free and definitely not pretty but they are reflection of life the way it is. This page spread is a very spontanious creation as my room where I keep art supplies is being decorated at the moment and I am simply not able to find anything so had to create from what I found :)
The page started with layer of Dina Wakley white gesso plus some scraps of paper. Then I used two Dina Wakley paints to create the colour part. I used Balckberry Violet and Lapis.To achive sort of ageing effect I spread paint with the old credit card.
The collage part is the technique I invented a while ago and call "left over collage" - that means that the paper is left after the image is cut out can be used as well- you can see that here as an empty person shape. Even if the image is not full you can add the rest like here by drawing the missing part.
I added some yellow accents by using Color Wash spray in Butterscotch (dropping from the bottle) and black from the Archival Ink range (Jet Black).
Art Journaling is a free and emotional expression so I hope you like this a little bit crazy lady looking for her soul, that happens to be on the next page...
Wishing you a Happy Art Journaling!

Love the free feeling about this page, the colours too, and I could just look at it for ages and see something new xx
Art journal pages are a place where anything goes. They seem to come from a more personal place, I think because we experiment in them? I can see the freedom & expression in yours. The empty face is brilliant, doodling is artsy & dare I say I sense a macabre vibe (she's staring at me, yikes). Everybody sees different things? I just really like that you went with your instinct. Tfs
Such an atmospheric page, with layers of meaning in the layers of paint and ephemera.
