Another attempt at an art journal page. We shall see how this journey goes for me. I am trying new techniques on this black paper. I tried to use pens that said "Stands Out on Dark surfaces!" It should then say: NOT!!! I had several different types of pens to try so I am glad that some of them worked. I don't know if it was the type of paper I used or not. I will try them again on different dark paper and see how it goes. The ones that worked well, were "Reminisce" gel pens and "American Craft" metalic marker. The flowers I did with metalic gelatos and a stencil.
The large flower in the circle I did using "dylusions ink" and the gesso technique I did in my previous post.
I love the title"Learning Curve" Is the purple flower the Gelato stencil? I think that these would all work as layering for a background. In a background you don't want them dominant. Love the butterflies. I do have to say that I really like the flowers too. You are either too critical of yourself or you have a different vision for how you expected it to come out. IIIIII love it.
ReplyDeleteYes the purple flower is the Gelato. I actually used the sponge applicator on that one instead of trying to get the Gelato to color over the stencil and then sponge it. I think that one came out the best because it didn't clump up the way the other ones did.
