Art in progress


This is what I was working on over the weekend. I usually begin my journal pages with a diluted layer of acrylic paint, whatever colour is leftover from my paintings. I keep my journal next to me when I paint my canvases and do several pages at a time.
After I paint , I'll start adding different design elements like collage pictures, photo transfers or stamps. I love doing the transfers, although I don't always have success, I'm fascinated by them!
I recently bought neocolor crayons  and I can say that, I can't live without them! They are amazing! I do all my shading with these crayons, they are so soft! I got the big box when it was on sale at dick blick .
I add text after everything is in place and go back at a later date and write my journal.

Oh and since a lot of you have been asking about the numbers on my paintings... they are old phone numbers I used to have!  LOL !!  don't try calling them!!
Have a great day my friend :)
