LauraMixedMedia | Floral Junk Journal Spread Using Acrylics, Graphite, and Pastels @LauraMixedMedia | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
This spread took me on a journey. I started this when I had just gotten the Derwent XL Graphite Blocks (which are super awesome by the way!). I wanted to play around and experiment with them, so I just started scribbling. I was trying to go grungy, so I layered gesso, ink, and coffee and just made some marks. When I came back to it after it dried I felt kinda stuck, and I didn't know where to go from there. but there was this flower still showing through from the original paper, so I took that and ran.
I really hope you enjoy this spread and feel inspired!!
