Building a Town From a Stamp

I thought I'd give it a whirl, I had been thinking about building a town from a stamp in my journal. It's a little different from my usual subject but I am trying to gather a variety of styles for this Art Journal since it will act as my "Art Journal Of Reference" for classes next year.

Watercolor Painting Over Magazine Image - Journal page

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!!
