We went for a walk on the beach today. It was cold, but the sun was shining and the sky was so incredibly blue that I couldn't help feeling wonderfully cheerful and positive. I wanted to make a journal page which captured the blueness of that sky, and the uplifting feeling it gave me.
I found the perfect colour and painted a background onto Yupo. Yupo isn't absorbent, so you can use a damp paintbrush to 'lift out' areas of paint, like this:
Then I drew in some cheerful floral-type doodles which I'd sketched a while ago. I didn't add any other colours to distract from the blue.
I could have just added the journalling in black but decided to make the blue 'pop' even more by matting onto a black background and journalling in white. Quick and easy, but I was pleased because it really does capture my feeling about that blue sky.
