The Magic Eraser!
Finally feeling up to doing some work in the studio. I began today, opening up old suitcases from my last few trips back in August. Amazing how you can let something go when you have big life changes and how hard it is to get back to playing again.
I was looking at this page in one of my journals and thought it was a little dark. I knew this page had a silver spray under painting so it could take a little scrubbing. Get out the Magic Eraser which is a great tool for removing color and lightening a piece. You must be careful not to scrub through the paper so take it slow and rinse the sponge often. Start by dipping the sponge in clean water then start in where you want a lighter effect.
You may end up scrubbing some of your lines out. They are easily put back!
I lightened up more of the inside to expose the silvery under painting.
Then I added some warmer tones and then layer a deep pink over the hearts
looks better with more contrast!
