Foxglove's Mixed Media

Happy weekend, everyone!   I hope you all have a nice, fun, creative weekend!  I have been catching up on some creative projects, one of which is my ICAD for day 7.  I did not follow the prompts, and instead I did my own thing - back to the messy abstract-ish style I've been leaning towards. I started off the way most of my project start - I glued down a bookpage with Mod Podge and scrapped gesso over it with a pallet knife.  I didn't really have a direction at this point, but I was in a mood to use earthy colors, so I grabbed a grey and a red iron oxide color and loosely scraped them over the wet gesso with my pallet knife.  When I was satisfied with it, I went to dry it with a heat tool.  I ended up leaving it alone for a day. When I came back to it, I could see a landscape in the mix...maybe a hill looking off to the distance, or a sandy dune by the sea. So I added a wash of green for the land and a wash of blue for the sky using my Derwent Inkt...

(Only partly because my first name is Daisy!  Us Daisys need to stick together!) If you haven't heard of it before, it stands for Index Card A Day and runs from 1 Jun to 31 July.  The point is to do something creative every day on an index card.  If you are interested, you can find more details her blog here: Daisy Yellow's ICAD 2018 . This week, it seems her prompts are all about fair ground rides and attractions, with today's prompt being "Rollercoasters".  I was in a bit of despair because I really wanted to join the challenge, but I don't really know how to draw - so how do you do a mixed media rollercoaster theme?  (I should note that you don't HAVE to follow the prompts, and she also has more generic themes. You really just need to do something creative with an index card, so my stress was reall...
