And then this page was born…..this was a revelation. Fed up with being restricted to watercolour I began exploring other ways to make a background. I found that if I scribbled with the gelly roll pens I could then blend them on the page with a babywipe! Wow! Great fun and endless possiblilities of colour.
Still keen to add some watercolur I dripped watercolour puddles on the glass table here in the villa (!), spritzed it a bit with water and dropped the page onto it swirling it about a bit to add a sort of smeary effect. Then I added some stenciling with black archival ink and brown distress ink. Plus some black lines with the black ink. The image was cut from a health magazine and the words seemed to fit just fine. All in all quite a fun morning when it was way too windy to sit outside!
