Using Watercolors in Art Journaling
Hello!
I enjoy using watercolors mixed in with other mediums. For this page I took a wrinkled up piece of packaging paper (it was stuffed in the box of an order I had recently received) and worked on it outside o my journal.
This method works great if you want stitching on your page. It is hard to get the journal into the sewing machine. Once I finished my page, I used an adhesive to attach it to the page in my journal. I use the left side as a workbook style page to track my supplies. Have fun with watercolors!
Cheers,
Roben-Marie

Art Challenge: Watercolors
Journal Prompt: It's water under the bridge
1. For the first layer, I added water to black acrylic paint so that it would be permanent.
2. Next, I added a variety of watercolors across the page.
3. I cut random circles from a variety of papers and stitched them to the background.
4. I added some white paint through a stencil and then glued the page into my journal.
