Mushies

 



The previous page in my mixed media journal, page 26 Flower face, was loosely inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this page however is heavily inspired by the movie. 

This page started, unlike most of the pages I start, completely empty. Most of the time there is some color on the pages from leftover paints. But this time I used Distress inks and a blending Brush to get a bit of a blue/purple gradient from darker on the edges to lighter in the center. Looking at the picture now I see that it's really not that well blended but I did blend it a little more after I took this picture with Ranger Archival Cobalt to get even darker edges. On top of the gradient I used Tombow markers to draw some tree silhouettes and something that looks like Fern sprouts. 


I then drew some mushroom on markerpaper and colored them with Copic sketch markers. 



I cut them out and made a little blue caterpillar (Absolem) to go on top of one of them.


I also drew a bunny walking away in the middel of the two pages. He is colored with Faber Castell Polychromos. Finally I glues everything down and made some smoke around Absolem. 

Enjoy the close-ups!

I really want to make a page inspired by the Mad Hatter, so be on the lookout for that one, but I'll probably make something else first.
