No Words Allowed - neon art journal spread

I went to the craft store with only one thing in my mind - to purchase neon colors. I had an urge to see what I can do with them and didn't want to spend a lot of money on artist grade paint. So - I got pink, yellow, orange and green Americana Neons. 

There is so little pigment in them that they work almost as glazes. And there is something wrong with the green one - I have only tiny drops of color floating in a sea of 'something' and as much as I tried - I couldn't make them come together. 

 Even with those disadvantages,  I enjoyed playing with layers of brightness and will probably use them again. So, I wonder... do you like to vary your palette or prefer to stay with the colors you know and love?

Staying with marine life...

Remember when long time ago (in April) I made fake washi tape? I did it again.

I was incredibly lucky this summer to have a chance to snorkel in the warm ocean, surrounded by colorful fish. It was so beautiful that thought I was dreaming... but at the same time was very aware that it is real. I wanted to remember every second and every fish. One of the best experiences in my life.

As you can imagine - I had to put all those colors on paper, so I painted fish in my journal. And today I played with my little paintings - I scanned them, put them in groups, made long lines of fish... I filled a full page of fake fish washi tape.

The above picture shows how the page looked before I added a ton of words, some doodles and pieces of my newly made tape.

Happy colors... happy fish... happy journal page... Have a very happy weekend!
