I drew part of a face and some arrows onto water color paper and after adding the details, I cut them out then collaged them into the page spread. I am finding this technique to be useful. It provides a bit of dimension on the page. Cut scraps are then layered into other parts of my journal to start backgrounds for future journal pages.
Overall, I like how the page turned out. However, if I had it to do over again, I would not have written the quote in purple. It really does not stand out. I was attempting to have it contrast with the background yet it still feels like it blends in a bit. In case you are having difficulty reading it, the quote is from Jacques Cousteau and reads ” Population Growth is the primary source of environmental damage.”
