I'm doing a series of altered books for an
upcoming summer class and am posting
them as I get them done. This one was
prepared by brushing a very thin coat of
white gesso over each page. I then used
water colour washes in cool colours
over parts of each page. The gesso and
paint took well in this children's hard cover
book.
I added light bits of leaves to some pages as well. When dry I
glued on sampler muslin swatches of paint application
techniques (spattering, sponging, crumpling, wiping)
The cloth cover already had a funky cat blowing bubbles so I just added
the title. I'll use a fun font to add children's song lyrics later
I see the letters flowing over the pages..............

new brushes
I joined a great little group in my new home town. It's held at the old train
station and is a full day of watercolour painting every Friday. The teacher
is wonderful and full of ideas and fabulous techniques.... 90 years young!
I obviously need a few new brushes to continue with the group!
