Journal Jam 3 : Storm Rider

Effy Wild is sharing a weekly Journal Jam live session in The Wilderhood (her Canadian Monday afternoon, my NZ Tuesday morning). I create spreads I would never do on my own and it's great to be led if you're feeling uninspired. It is so fun to art together - I didn't manage the live this week because forgot that our daylight savings moved the time earlier for us. She is live 3pm EST Monday and that now makes it 7am our Tuesday. Effy draws prompts and shares how she works in response to those directly in her journal, and you can follow her lead or go in a totally different direction. So this week I've followed the replay and you can too if you like HERE. Her finished spread is absolutely gorgeous :

It looks very Klimt-inspired and I adore it but will try to put my own spin on it. She began with the magazine image and black gessoed background so I'll do that too. I have 4 fashion magazines in my stash which I got from a second-hand book sale. The title of this magazine feature sealed the deal for me choosing this girl "Storm Rider". She appeared in the first magazine I flipped through. The words will appear somewhere on my spread. 

I also added clear gesso over my glossy magazine image because I think that I would like to alter her in some way too. Remember my doodle magazine girls? Now here we go with the prompts : 
Green Interference colours look great over black but when I looked I didn't have green so using an old iridescent. And Effy also added a different kind of green from Pebeo which I have and love so 2 greens to start. Photo a bit blurry for some reason : Jo Sonja's Green Iridescent and Pebeo 359 Iridescent Green Yellow

Cover something up Because I know I'm going Klimty with this one I'm using those paints again plus black gesso to add some circles and square with stencils. And I covered her hair with black gesso 

Fingerpaint I do have one interference colour : Violet. Love this effect but trying to restrain myself cos we're only 3 prompts in!

Add a feather Did a LOT on this. Not sure if it's where I want it to be but need to leave it now. 

Effy obeyed an impulse to add gold ink sprayed and fingerpainted but not a prompt so I'm waiting for the next.
Add squares of black paint Another cool stencil with black gesso

I am hoping for another colour prompt so I can do something with her garment and I already have some other ideas brewing for her....
Add gold or silver Yay - so much I can do with this. The silver is Micaceous Iron Oxide to grunge up her cloak.

Flip spread upside down Not today...Effy obeyed an impulse to add red to her spread before finishing with words. 

Some finishing touches with uniball signo gold pen and some more black lines in the feather.

Love the layers and that I am telling stories of my reality with art. 

Goodness - have just realised the unplanned connection with my Journal 52 card prompt yesterday : Storm! 
At the end of the prompts Effy demonstrates how she seals all her spreads with gloss varnish and a tealight candle to stop them sticking. That time on the replay is at 47 minutes if you want to watch that.
