Art Journal Page - "Keep Moving Forward"

I learned two things while making this page; not to give up on a page and Dylusions Paints and acrylic glazing are not friends.

After I covered my page with paints, I added a black glaze. Ideally, I wanted it to catch on the modeling paste and grunge it up a bit. Well, it seemed to react strangely with the Dylusions Paints. The Lemon Zest turned this odd grey color. It seemed to me like the Glaze seeped into the paint and discolored it. Although, I only really noticed this reaction happen with the Lemon Zest, maybe because it is a lighter color. I might experiment with the orange and red Dylusions and see what happens.

I had a plan for this page and It really threw me off when this happened. I decided to walk away for awhile, because I was about to toss the whole page completely.

I didn't get re-inspired to work on it until about a month later. But, I am glad I didn't just throw it away because I ended up really liking it.

I also learned how delightful the Dylusions Paints and the Dina Wakley Media Paints are together. It's like they are made for each other.
