Raven's Journey
My latest altered journal. I'm still getting a feel for the painting step, but I do enjoy the messing around part!
Sarah Whitmire's comments (she's teaching the class):
Looking at the photos I would recommend that you go back in and darken some of the areas you have already. Repeat the process, add more brown in a few places and let it pool a bit. Add a third color if you have one...perhaps some purple would be nice since it is a complimentary color to yellow? Add it over the brown in a few places (don't cover all of your work). I think the problem you are having is that you just need more layers of yummy paint so keep working. ;0 ) The more layers you have the less the edges will show as well.

So more paint it is!
