Altered Book Day

Gouache, ink, colored pencil, gel pen.

Playing in an altered book has unique qualities. There is no fear of the blank page. Seeing hints of text peeking through gives to a bit of pattern and texture. Altered book work is a place to experiment and see what is possible. I find myself layering upon layer with different media every time I turn a new page. It really is a fun way to practice and to get my brain in the right mindset. Find an old discard and give it a try!
