My first experiments with Brusho crystal colours.
At Ally Pally last weekend I sat at a make and take table to have a play with Brusho colours. I have used them in the past for simple watercolouring with 11 year olds but never really experimented and played for myself. In fact I had completely forgotten about them until they started becoming popular on the blogs. The colours are so vibrant, I love them.
Using pre-stamped and white embossed watercolour paper given to me and with two layers of brushos spritzed with water I was quite pleased with the effects so I've had a quick play in my visual altered journal and this time used black embossing powder and just a small range of colours that I bought to experiment with.

I prepared an A4 piece of textured acrylic paper spritzing the brushos and then completing with a wrinkle free technique leaving some white space.The leaves are Tim's framelits stamped and die-cut.
When I saw these photos together the background colours reminded of blackberries - don't ask me why!!!!
I'm obviously still in that transition mode from summer to autumn with the greener colours behind the very autumnal leaves.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope your week is going well.

Beautiful art journal pages! The brushos are wonderful in these autumn tones.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous circular panel from the make and take, and your autumnal pages look just wonderful. I do have some Brushos, but there just never seems to be enough time to get them out and experiment properly at the moment!
