the Art Journal Journey April challenge theme of “Landscape within me” got me busy…
sloshing paints and gesso on the pages of one of my encyclopedia art journals…
remembering to snap a few photos to show some before and after…
everything goes better with some gesso, lace and rubber stamping…
first time using a white correction pen (thanks to my friend Lisa for that recommendation) it flowed really well and dried quickly…
the lady is a citra solv transfer I did on tissue paper and I thought she looked pretty with the broken brooch that I attached with heavy gel medium underneath…
the monthly Art Journal Journey blog is a wonderfully talented and inspiring place to visit again and again…

Beautiful work of art, dear Patty! Thanks for the step by step from the first sloshing to the gorgeous end results using the white correction pen. (I have one but I have yet to squeeze any white fluid out. Don’t know what’s wrong.) Wonderful textural pages.

Patty, it’s really gorgeous. I really appreciate when you remember to take before and after/progression photos. I sometimes forget to do that and am so mad! It really makes a difference.
I am longing for the time to play with citra solv and transfers. It doesn’t seem to happen.
