It’s not often, but when I get extremely angry I need to take it out on something, vent my frustrations. Art journalling have saved my sanity on those occasions. I can get down all the screaming thoughts and then, as I did on this page, cover them up.
I opened my journal found a double page that already had a coat of gesso on it, and set about writing across it. Seems I had a lot to say as I then turned t round and ranted back over the first layer! Eek. I wanted some of that writing to show through on the final page so I used light layers of acrylic paint and simple shapes over it, and added dots with my favourite stencil. I quite like the end result and I know how much better I felt for getting it all off my chest.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love your page, I do my venting in my journal too not that I've used it in a while, don't cover it though as I feel I just end up repeating myself I just need it out there so I can move on and my journal is what keeps it hidden lol
