Hi all!
Thank you for popping in! I have here my first ‘Art Journal’
project to share. It was both therapeutic and a challenge, in a sense, as I was
getting out of my comfort zone here.
After creating this it is fair to say that – I am hooked! 😊
So, now, every so often, I will pop in and share my Art Journal
projects.
I have used a watercolour page from the Dina Wakley Media Journal in 8” x 10”. This journal is fabulous as it consists of canvas, burlap,
watercolour and Kraft pages.
I have primed the page with Dina Wakley Media Gesso in clear. Once dried, I masked some hand drawn circles, as I wanted keep
these areas white.
I then set to using Prima Marketing Watercolour Pencils, using ‘The Basics’ range, mixed with water. I kept working the colours until I was
happy with the setting.
After the paint had dried, I darkened the circles using a
Marker Uni – Posca pen in black.
To add details to the page I carefully tore
strips – with the help of water – to remove some images from the Jane Davenport Napkin Collage paper. I applied it using a gel medium from my stash. To protect
the images, it is important to apply the gel medium over the top as well – and smooth
out any air bubbles.
Once dried I stamped various images from Prima - Finnabair - Vintage Vanity Collection and 49 & Market Gabi’s Textures stamp sets, using
Staz-on ink in Jet Black.
I splattered Colour Blast Colour Spray in 'Roadbase' randomly
around the page. To highlight some of the areas, I used Posca pens in black and white. Finally, the title was used from Tim Holtz Idealogy Collection – ‘Small Talk’.
It was a terrific learning experience, creating this journal
page. I think that it is fantastic to try and experiment and learn new things –
otherwise you never know what you are capable of!
Ciao, Amy 😊
