Some of my art journal pages in progress. I made these as a way to recycle old watercolor studies from a college course in watercolor painting. They includes watercolor and acrylic paint, sharpie pens, prismacolor pencils, rub-ons, gel glue resist, stickers, paper collage, gel medium, crayons, and my new favorite toy...Faber Castell gel sticks. Like a very smooth crayon or oil pastel, but you can add water for watercolor effects.
