Dare I say that spring has sprung. At least that’s what I’m hoping.
The warming temps, melting snow and spring break have me thinking Spring.
I partially covered my book pages with scraps of paper then used gelatos blended with baby wipes to give some soft pink color to the background. It was a little too pink so I used a palette knife to drag thick white paint over the top.
I knew I wanted some flowers so I drew them lightly with a pencil then filled in around with gesso. After it had dried I came back in with a black colored pencil. I cannot find my charcoal pencil anywhere!! The black outline made my flowers pop.
Now that I had flowers and PINK it was time for just the right words.
Happy Spring!
