I love getting up early and creating in my art journal. Here is a page I created very early one morning.
Prompt: Early Observations ( or Late Observations)
Take some time to really feel the present. What can you hear, see, smell, feel? How does it make you feel. Ignore all the things you need to do or get done, and really be in the moment. Take a breath and write it down.
Technique:
Use water colours ( I used water-soluble crayons) to lay a mix of colours on your page. Then cover roughly with gesso. Repeat these two steps until you have a layered page you are happy with. then add some thicker lines of gesso in a criss-cross pattern. Write down your observations and add any embellishments/doodles to finish.
