New journal. Original painting on cover

Originally uploaded by emberlexi

I think I’m going to keep this one (like i need another journal). I spent 3 hours on this last night. I took 2 canvas boards for the covers, painted one with the houses, the other with interference blue paint. Used Golden Paints and a charcoal pencil for some depth. Inside is a mix of papers I had – Fabriano artistico watercolor paper, blick’s all-media paper, Stonehenge, and manila file folders.

I tried out some new book cloth – it’s starched with no paper backing. Not sure how I like it, but we’ll see how it holds up.
