These few pages show a watercolor technique where I painted over the top of a magazine image. The photos above show my process. I found I had to layer the watercolors to get the effect I wanted. For the first few strokes of my brush the color actually wanted to repel off the page but as the page became saturated with moisture the colors began to adhere to the image. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, thank you for all the feedback on my video yesterday!!

You are a wealth of fantastic ideas. Also, you are very generous to share!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of placing water colors over the page. I always draw and paint each of my images of women's faces and know I have learned an easier way for journaling.
Thank you!

Another gorgeous spread in such a beautiful journal! Love the techniques used ~~ the pink lines with yellow dots between them, the magazine image for a base, the design on her face...and the popcorn is a great touch. Hope you and the girls enjoyed the 3D movie! Have you had a chance to browse through several of Dyan Reaveley's blog posts yet??? She doesn't post journal pages every post (like I wish she did, ;0), but the pages she does post are great inspiration for us, . . . and her accent is wonderful, isn't it? Happy Creating, Rebecca!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply beautiful ! I love your techniques !!
ReplyDeletelove the layers & i'm just loooooving your work!!! (i sooo appreciate my new pen pal!)

What an absolutely ingenious and inspired journaling technique!!! Who knew that you could use watercolors over a magazine pic with a bit of patience added in the mix. Stunning results, Rebecca!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, love the technique and will probably try it in my journal.
ReplyDeleteGreat page once again Rebecca. How did you adhere the magazine picture to the page? Did it not get mucked up with the watercolor? I have used this technique once but I put Gesso over top of it first. I need to get some clear Gesso as I think it would work much better - I used white and then painted over top of it. I love movies too! We don't have cable so we have many DVD's.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your girls enjoy Despicable me.
Hi Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteYour journal pages are wonderful.
Need to come back and explore some more.
Blessings!!
Thank you for sharing this technique.
ReplyDeleteI'll try it and let you know how things turn out for me.
I started my face painting using a similar technique. I covered the face with gesso then painted over with acrylics or oil pastels. It really helped me get to grips with shading. I love how you have incorporated your beautiful designs onto her face - she is stunning :)
ReplyDeleteYour step by step pages are great! I haven't had a chance to see the video yet, but I've got it book marked!
ReplyDeletewonderful technique. I love the end result, all your details are quite unique.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and watched your video and loved it. You have so many great ideas and I love your journalling in the lines. I also love your handmade stamp. I'm sure I have some clay somewhere so I will give it a try.
Thanks for sharing
