Rusty Marks, Soft Arcs & Moody Washes in My Art Journal

In this art journal session, I’m working in my handmade Bare Spine Beauty Journal with Deep Deep Light granulating watercolors, tempera sticks, Faber-Castell Black Edition pencils, a Blackwing pencil, and Neocolor II pastel. These pages have such a lovely mix of moods — one side is full of moody blue-gray washes, rusty tempera marks, graphic black stripes, and soft layered curves, while the other feels more spacious and sweeping with sage green, coral, gray, and delicate pencil lines moving across the page. I loved letting the granulating watercolor create atmosphere underneath all the bold marks and quiet details, building an abstract spread that feels textured, expressive, and a little bit weathered.
