Five Layers

This week the Documented Life Project at Art to the 5th the challenge is to create at least five layers in your art work and the journal prompt is "high five." So I put together a quick little tutorial for the creating of this page. Hope it inspires you to use five layers in your art journal.

My five (+) layers are:
1 - book paper
2 - gesso

3 - gelli print directly onto the page

4 - collage

5 - watercolor pencil
6 - paint
7 - colored pencil
There may be a few more layers in there, too. I kept going back and forth between the paint/pencils.

I love layers! So much fun and so freeing to create.  I hope you will give this challenge a try!
