Nancy has used an old printed book for her Art Journal. Using a pre-printed book takes the fear away of making that first mark on the pristine white page…
“This was done in a French text book that I found at a junk shop and became my art journal! I painted right onto the page using acrylic paints, first with a dark olive and after it had dried I rubbed antique gold using my fingers. I then painted in white acrylic for the center and painted a leaf in fall colors. Last was my journaling for my love of Autumn and all it’s magnificent colours!”
