Positive Change

Journal 52, Week 29 - Positive Change. I decided to create a mixed media page for this prompt, starting with a gesso background and raised damask texture sections. Once dry I drew the face and painted the page with greens, white, turquoise and brown. I mottled and blended the colours together, using glazing medium with the brown and turquoise to create more translucent layers and allow it to be wiped of sections of the raised textures to show the patterns. I then added final decorations with flowers, lace, buttons and stamped the quote: Use your smile to change this world, don't let this world change your smile.
