I've been working on an altered book that has a different technique featured each month. I also focused on the holiday or season for that month. Past blog posts have shown July, August and September. This is the process for December's spread. I started by painting the pages with acrylics-in dark maroons & reds. Over the dark under painting I applied white, light green and pink by drybrushing, scrubbing, and blending with my fingers. I used a paper napkin to remove some of the paint
when it obscured the dark color underneath.
Acrylic paint that had been thinned with water was used to write words & create "swirls..."
Here is the spread with final collage elements added. I still have a few pages to fill at the end of the book, and the front & back covers to complete.
