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 of 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.
