This art journal page is for today's SCS Color Combination Challenge. I have been dabbling in mixed media here lately and love doing art journal pages. My theme for this one is a favorite old song by the Beatles. (showing my age here, lol). I applied gesso to the page and then used a turquoise gelato for the background. The sun stencil is sponged with yellow paint and the clouds applied with modeling paste. The Crazy Birds are colored with Copics and highlights added with a gel pen. I used a PITT pen to shade around the birds to give some depth to the page.
Come on over and join in the challenge!
Enjoy!
