This is my art journal page for week 51.
Firstly, this is a quotation that has been with me throughout 2016,
so I thought it needed a special place in my journal.
The prompt this week on Colour Me Positive is
Sharing your Soul, through Creativity.
I have used graphics from past classes at BGU.
For my last double page spread, I looked back through my journal
to find my favourite background from the whole year.
This technique was from Weeks 27 & 28.
One of the most simplest, yet most effective, has a white gesso base,
a thin layer of watered down acrylic paint (again I used Pistachio),
then I dabbed the excess off with a paper towel,
which left a soft mottled look.
To draw the grid I used my template, as always.
Firstly I outlined the grid with a normal graphite pencil,
then I drew over those lines with my Black Stabilo All pencil.
Taking my waterbrush, I went over those lines to create a strong outline.
