This journal page was a bit of a surprise.
While using up some left over lumiere textile paint
on a blank journal page several days ago,
I discovered how beautiful it is on paper.
The paper fully absorbs the paint rendering the surface matt
while still retaining the inherent luminosity of the paint.
So this time I purposefully painted some of Jacquard Pearl Turquoise Lumiere textile paint
on a blank page in my journal.
The rest came so quickly and easily I barely had time to enjoy the process.
After the background turquoise was painted
I used my stamp a few times.
Then I added some stencil work but it was horrible!
So I added the white Golden acrylic paint by scrubbing the brush
with a small amount of paint to cover up the stencil work.
I used it almost like a dry brush technique.
I loved the movement it created.
I added the pencil marks and tiny little pieces torn from my old writing journals.
I loved how simple, fresh and alive it looked.
The whole thing barely took 10 minutes.
And sometimes that's just the way it is.
