1700's Building Texture





Welcome all!

Paula Phillips aka JournalArtista here.  I am so happy to share with you my page using the 1700's Building Stencil  designed by the awesome Carolyn Dube.



My page started out with a layer of brown paint with a few napkins collaged on top.  I then chose this technique to apply the Golden Light Molding Paste:







I should have left the page at that, but I decided to add some deep purple.  Way too dark!  I dry brushed a bit of gesso to tone down the darkness, shown here:


I then added black marker to outline the edges of the light molding paste, using my finger to smudge a bit.

                               
Happier with the way the texture pop'ed, I added a bit of yellow paint in the window openings.




Don't give up when you think something is too dark!  Just add a bit of gesso and work through those uglies!


Much Love,
Paula
