July 4th Art Journal Page

 

While glancing thru Pinterest, I found several 4th of July fireworks paintings and decided to give it a try.

Here's my process:

1) Center a 5x7" rectangle on my art journal page and tape it around.

2) Draw fireworks with the Daniel Smith Artist Masking Fluid. Let dry.

3) Cover rectangle with clear water.

4) Using Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus Set 1 liquid watercolors, painted a variety of pastel colorsletting them blend. Let dry.

5) Blend black watercolor in several places. Let dry.

6) Rub off Masking Fluid.
