Permanent marker and watercolor
over book text...the rose above
was drawn while looking at
a vintage wallpaper pattern.
Just tear a page from an old book and
draw on it with a bullet tip permanent marker.
Then paint watercolor washes over the pen drawing.
I use my hair dryer between washes to dry it
more quickly. Add details with a fine tip marker
and white gel pen.
I've enlarged motifs from some of my
previous art journal pages, but the
possibilities are endless!
Linking to Paint Party Friday...
where there is an art auction going on
to benefit Sandy Hook Elementary.

I love the paint over text, and over sheet music, too. Very nice pieces of art...love them all. Happy PPF!
Paint over text is always so lovely in my opinion. I love seeing the words peeking through. Sometimes just even the hint of text can give such great texture
I'm ready for Spring too! My favorite season of the year - lovely pages - so soft and sweet! xo
Pretty, pretty pages! I love the variation in line that you got on the leaves.
So cute! I love that technique.
Happy PPF!

what lovely drawings that look so effective..I really like your cross stitch sampler bag and know how much time it takes to do
You do beautiful work Dianne! Thanks for commenting on my blog. I use a Moleskine Watercolor Book. It is about 8"x5" so opened it is 16"x5". Very Do-able as a Daily journal. Thanks!
beautiful and I too can´t wait for spring to come :)
It's wonderful...lovely pages!
Oh gosh. These are simply gorgeous. Very, very impressive. I love how well you draw, but then you know that because I tell you all the time (grin).
Love that sampler bag, too. It's really springy. Gotta admit, I love the bunny best.
Beautiful paintings. I love the colours you have chosen x
Lovely work, all three. I also like to use text:)

These are beautiful, especially the top one of the rose!
Beautiful colors -- nice to have the background of the printed page -- looks like imagination is covering the text. :)
This is giving me so much inspiration for the journal I will be working on tomorrow! I'm glad I brought a lot of my markers on vacation with me!
Oh, I love, love, love these! The sketches, the words, the colors are so beautiful!
i also love painting over book paper and i also use my hair dryer! your pages are wonderful!
Sensitive use of media and interesting images. Thanks for your visit:)
