Art Journal pages 4 and 5

Here are two more days of Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's art journal technique series.

Day 4 (on left) was using watercolors. Concentrated colors were used to make marks on the page (she used arches; I used rectangles). Then a wash of color was added to the background and, when everything was dry, the rectangles were outlined with white pen. It worked well, considering this was not watercolor paper.




Day 5 (on the right) looks scary! The theme was doodled collage. A magazine image of a woman was glued to the page and then doodled with gel pens. I only have a few of these, so had to make do with what I had. This is a fun technique and could be used in so many ways to enhance a magazine image.
