Spring is Music to my Eyes



 Happy Sunday everyone! leslierahye here sharing with you an art journal page that I did in my K & P Imports art journal. Right now the world around me is bloom with beautiful spring flowers. This is my favorite time of the year to photograph nature. My family often takes a trip out into the county to capture the glory of the wildflowers near us. This page contains one of my bluebonnet photos that I recently took.

I began by creating a watercolor background with layering washes across the page. Once dry, I splattered the same colors from the wash to get concentrated splats of color! After they were fully dry, I doodled a border with black an white paint pens. I fussy cut my photo and glued it down. I then traced around the photo with white paint pen and a grey brush PITT pen. With the paint pen I added the quote "The earth has music for those who listen." The flowers in the fields and along the roadways are a symphony to me. I hope you enjoy my page!
