Summer of Colour - PINK: Art Journal Entry



Just a short post to link up for this week's Summer of Colour. This week's theme is Pink (my favourite!)




I used a bunch of stuff in this one. Caran D'ache Neocolor II and Reeves wax pastels, water colour crayons, India Ink (and a dip pen, hence the smears and drips), chalk pastels ... I think at one point I also used some Inktense blocks to up the intensity. Just fooling around, I found that when I heated up my paper, the wax pastels go onto the paper in a very dense layer. Nice.

Thanks for looking!!

    I love the little bits of wisdom you put on your petals. Especially "don't compare." I need to remind myself of that one a lot!

    A pretty pink spread! Don't you just love it when you have the time to play with all those cool art supplies? I just got some new stuff and can't wait. The Caran d'Ache neo II are my fav! Thanks for sharing.
