WISH...an art journal page with PanPastel

Welcome to the StencilGirl & PanPastel Blog Hop! The StencilGirl team has been featuring wonderful PanPastels and StencilGirl stencils in their creations all week!  I hope you have been tuning in and learning all the versatility of these projects.

I decided to create a journal page.  I began with my favorite thing ~ collage ~ gluing down torn music sheets on my jumbo moleskin journal. I love to work BIG.  I then gave it a light white wash with Titanium White.

Before adding any PanPastels or other texture, I stenciled the word WISH with Carolyn Dube's Jumbo Typewriter stencils and some Teal paint.

I then took Andrea DeMeng's Free As a Bird and Fowl Play stencils and scraped molding paste through it in various parts of my journal page.  I also used Cecilia Swatton's Queen Anne's Lace stencil to create a garden of flowers.

After the paste dried, I did a light wash in watercolor.

After the watercolor wash dried, I began with some PanPastels for color mixing in Diarylide Yellow pan pastel in various areas, beginning the layers of my sky.

I used Magenta pan pastel on the flowers and came in with different layers of Bright Yellow Green, Chromium Oxide Green and Phthalo Green Shade PanPastels to create the stems, grass and brush.

I painted Titanium White inside the birds to block out the music notes and after they dried, I went over the texture on them lightly with Phthalo Blue PanPastel. As a finishing touch I went around the edges and into the sky with violet and turquoise PanPastels.  I then took my wet paintbrush and dipped it in the watered down white and flicked sprinkles over the entire page.

Here are some close ups:
