Last week I made an art journal following Carolyn Dube's Permission To Play online class.

This is a two page spread from the art journal, collaged and ready to paint on!

To create my piece, I started by sketching three figures.

I painted the background with a mixture of Tuxedo Velvet and Cotton Velvet.

I added some shading to the figures.

I followed up by adding more layers to the background with Desire Velvet and Ferrari Sorbet. I used both Velvet and Sorbet to get the opaqueness from the Velvets and the shimmer from the Sorbets.

I applied these colors with a palette knife.

Added journaling and secret numerology.

And a little hand lettering in the lower right corner to balance out the 2-page art journal spread.

Until next time...
