Hi everyone, today I have created a journal page to play along with the current mood board challenge... it's your last chance to get your entries in, the current challenge closes at the end of the month...
I was drawn both to the colour palette of the challenge and the requirement of adding a flower....
I took this literally and did one big flower...
Normally, I would have a process video to share with you all... however, I have fractured my ankle and can't sit under my desk and film at the moment... so instead I have a photo step by step...
so I began by wetting down my page with paintbrush and water
I applied Aqua Green, Turquoise and White Marabu Crayons to the wet page... and used the wet brush to blend and smooth the colours together...
I used a jar to draw a partial circle in the corner of the page... and coloured it with the Cocoa Marabau Crayon.... I blended the crayon with my fingers...
I sketched out the basic flower petals with the white Marabau crayon...
Next I began to colour in the petals using Rose Pink....
and added some Raspberry for colour variation..
then I coloured the rear petals using Raspberry...
I used both White and Lavender to add highlights to the petals....
I added Terracotta over the centre in a circular motion so as to leave some of the dark showing through...
Next, add some Gold over the Terracotta again in a circular motion leaving the lower layers showing through....
I added Orange highlights, and Plum shadows to the petals to create depth...
to finish off.... I added more White highlights to the petals and the flower centre, then I used my Stabilo All pencil to deepen the shaded areas...
the finished piece...
