This was a quick art journal page for Art Every Day Month but it turned into a technical adventure. WordPress has some little critters in it messing up my html code. I am not a programmer but I managed to diagnose the problem and solve it. Along the way there was a scare that I would have to reinstall wordpress in a way that would delete every previous post – basically start from scratch. That had me in a panic! Luckily, it was an easy fix – it just took me 2 days to find it.
As I have been visiting artists’ posts through AEDM my mind has been returning to several posts that were sketches or all black and white. So I thought I’d try it. 
I just couldn’t leave it black and white. I just couldn’t.
Thought the raindrops needed something so I outlined them.
Next I wanted some sparkle so I put glitter over each raindrop. It muted the brightness of the colors some and I must admit – I wasn’t happy with that. So I added the blue & yellow watercolor.

AEDM day 6. Some days you just have to trust your instincts. Today was one of those days for me.

A simple page but a page I needed today. Sometimes I need to remind myself I have the strength and courage to do what I know I need to do. I feel like this page needs more, but I am stopping here for now. This is a busy art month – and when it rains it pours! I’m linking up to AEDM & Just Journals.
This started as smudges and smears of leftover red paint. The yellow was made with my new Inktense blocks. Oh, it is such a vibrant yellow!
My yellow Souffle pen made the doodle circles.
The red smears called for words and these are the 2 I have been thinking about today. Just the black looked too blah. When I traced it with the yellow Souffle pen I was pleased.
As I look at the work by artists I admire, it is often the little touches that make their work so powerful. I was amazed at what a simple thing, like outlining the words, did to the page. Do you have any little touches you add to your pages?
