This was done for a lesson in Life Book at Willowing.ning.com. The lesson was taught by Jodi Ohl. I used graphite, charcoal, acrylics, watercolor crayons and collage. This was after I had to gesso the whole face and start over.

Art Journal using "pulled art". Create the background first with sprayed inks, splatters, collage and then see what shapes appear like finding shapes in the clouds. Was a lot of fun and I wish I had a pic of just the background before the mermaid was painted. The entire shape was there, I just had to add a "rock" for her to rest on.
