Art Journal Page: Wanderlust- Part 1



I love to work in shades of blue, which is the way this  page started.  Somehow I ended up with greens and yellows.  I wanted this page to have an ephemeral dreaming quality that invoked hazy images of  far away places.
Base layer: Gesso, then used matte medium to adhere torn book pages.
Next layer: Wiped on orange acrylic paint and then wiped some off.  I added color using various stencils.
Final layers: Washi tape, images cut from old books and rubber stamps.
