I try to post my journal page from the Documented Life Project on Saturday nights. If you are not familiar with the site check it out http://www.arttothe5th.com. When the prompt is given, I spend the day thinking about what I would like to do. I was clueless what to do with the gesso. It took me two days to come up with something creative instead of just using it as a base like I generally do.
I used gesso on the page then used Prima's Bloom sprays in Teal to cover. I loved the look and effect it gave to the page. I had wrote down my ideas in a "work" meeting on what to do with the page. I use a LiveScribe pen to document notes at work. When it is not work related (like this one), I can favorite the page and send to Evernote. Once I am home, I can pull the info from Evernote and create on.
Another trick I do is use the largest size newsprint paper from Michael's as a cover to protect my other page. So when I painting, it lays under the decorated page. When I am done, I draft the page on the large sheet to see what my idea will look like. Many times, it gives the picture that I may change as I go. I used Sharpie markers for this page but they don't always behave the same. If the area has more grit, they tend not want to work as well.
Here is here the finished page. I liked the snowman most. I was trying to use him in the last art journal page but it did not work out. He is made from book paper.
