Last week I was able to find some National Geographic magazines that worked with Citra-Solv! (Thank you Laurel for teaching me the Citra-Solv ways!)
I tried some older versions a while back, but nothing happened to the pages. This time I used 2008 and 2010 and they both worked really well! You definitely need to put a LOT of the Citra-Solv on it to make it bleed appropriately, but I didn't mind. It smells quite nice...if you like oranges.
And I sure do love me some clementines!
Anywhoo...
On this page, I love how the ink merged together to create a wave effect. The Illustration Friday word of the week is Journey...It was a perfect page to use! I just cut out a little boat and sail (both out of different Citra-Solve pages) and added a little colored pencil to get the blue and green color and enhance the water.
The yellow on the right was already there.
I loved it because I was able to use a yellow boat and tie the colors together.
