This week I have another page in my larger size art journal. Lots of layers of mixed media on this one. The face is a quick sketch on book paper which I collaged onto the journal page. I had created that face several weeks ago and it was just laying on the table. It seemed to want to go here.
Lately I have been loving my oil pastels again. There is something so wonderfully satisfying about coloring with them and then rubbing with my fingers to smudge and work them into the page.
Most of the pink above is oil pastel over top of paint, gesso, and whatever else found it's way there!
What's your favorite thing to do in your journal these days?
Linking up with Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Every Day, Show Your Face.
Have a creative weekend!

ReplyDeleteNice, Laney! Oil pastels are still a challenge for me but I love how you have used them in this piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill. It took me a while to figure out what to do with oil pastels. Mostly, I just scribble and smudge!
DeleteI don't draw or paint in a journal everyday. The face in your piece looks cute with her little smile. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon!
