"Love"

This past Sunday, I started an Art Journal, and this is my first entry!

I started out by painting the page different shades of blue. Then, I stamped the diamonds on. I painted over the diamonds to give them a more uneven look. After that, I came up blank. So I sketched my husband's take on a heart. I painted the outside of it white, and filled in the red. I added some charcoal inside the heart to give it a more textured-look. I then streaked the blue with some red and black and a little white to tie the colors in together. Lastly, I added the two bottom strips of scrap paper, and I cut out the "Love" piece from a scrap paper, and dry embossed it to give the painting more texture.
