And here's how I created the page:
 |
| cut up squares of collage paper |
 |
| collage them, mosaic style, on your page (I glued two of my sketchbook pages together, to make it a heavier weight paper) |
 |
| Use matte medium or Mixed Media Adhesive to glue them down |
 |
| make sure they well adhered and flat |
 |
| OOPS!! |
 |
| cover the page and let it dry completely |
 |
| draw your image in pencil first |
 |
| Use a sharpie to create a heavy outline |
 |
| outline the whole drawing and erase the pencil |
 |
| Use diluted gesso and paint the areas you want to cover |
 |
| Daniel Smith Gesso, of course. |
 |
| I left the tree unpainted. |
 |
| paint in the shapes |
 |
| paint the moon shiny gold! |
 |

 |
| I diluted the paint with water, to make sure you could see the collage underneath |
