Painted Board Book Textured Covers - TRENDS Jan. Project

The covers do blend well together in real life; and even though the main cover is pretty I prefer the back cover. It has a more structured design in keeping with Mary Beth's technique. This was a fun project and I hope to do more.

I used Lumiere paints which are favorites of mine. Using a dry brush I added some white Gesso but didn't like the effect so I painted over it.
