Spring Tulips journal pages

SO i have been so busy with my kiddos out for spring break that yet another week has slipped by!  I hate it when I neglect my blog so...

Here is a little of what I have been up to!  I decided to take the plunge and take an online class.  I have been on the fence about one - and the perfect class for me came along!  The Art of Wild Abandonment by Junelle Jacobson amd Christy Tomlinson!  I have followed Christy for several years - and one of my new years goals was to work in my art journal more - so this class was perfect! 

My spring inspiration was this photo:

I wanted bright yellow tulips - so I took artistic liscence and did what I wanted!  I do love the pink though and will definately be doing this again in pink!

I started with a page in my are journal and I adhered torn up dictionary pages on top with Gloss Medium.  Then I gesso'ed on top to sofetn up the text and prime the surface for my watercoloring.  Then I sketched out my scene with a mechanical pencil.  The I went to work adding watercolors - starting with the vibrant yellow first.  I let that dry then added the green and blue above and below.

 

I added the scripture "Faithfulness springs forth from the earth and righteousness looks down from heaven" Psalms 85:11

I doodled and sketched around my watercolors with my doodle pen from Scarlet Lime.  And I added white accents with my Signo Uni Ball pen from my store!  I splattered on top with white and black inks. 

I am VERY pleased with how it turned out.  This is actually my first completed piece from the class - I am a week behind because of internet issues!  Blast!  That is also why I have beem MIA on me blog!  Some firewall thing or something - that I ask eric everyday - is it fixed yet????  I am still not able to get email on my computer - thank goodness for my phone!

SO I hope you like my journal entry - and are inspired!
