I had to travel so I packed a few art journaling things. I tried to keep it lighter than usual with bringing just a few sharpies and my ancient Primacolor Nupastels. this forced me to work differently, using marks and pressure to create more texture.

The pages were prepared before I left in the manner I wrote about in my last post. The layers of color add a lot of texture to the final image, and are a lot of fun to draw on. I noticed that areas where I drew with my 2 colors of copic the acrylic paint became quite sticky but that the stickiness cut down after a day or so.
