More goofing off in my art journal - today I played with circles - lots of circles. The background was painted with yellow and tan acrylic paints then a bit of shimmer was added with Tim Holtz Metallic paints.
Then lots of circles with art pastels made the scene. I never had an art class in school and only know a very limited amount about art supplies but I do know that I enjoy smooshing my fingers around in the pastels to get them to blend. Don't know that I could ever achieve anything that looked identifiable so circles seemed pretty safe. By the way - do I need to spray this with any type of fixative or will it be okay on its own??
Found a cool quote that seemed perfect - "Circles create soothing space where even reticent people can realize that their voice is welcome."
My art journal is getting thicker all the time!! So many things to try -
I feel some wire coming soon - - - Linking up to the

i like your writing around some of them.
in art class, we used to use aerosol hair spray as a fixative for our pastels. hope that helps.
