art journal class

yesterday i spent 3 hours with some wonderful woman and we all got just a little dirty. okay some got a lot dirty but oh so much fun

this months journal class was all about using Rangers color wash.
by far this has to be one of my favorite ever Ranger products.
first we experimented with color wash directly on to paper for our cover page. we then free cut out a word for our front page, painted that, and then doodled a bit. we agreed that we would finish the doodling portion at home cause well let’s admit it, doodling can draw one in for hours and hours.

next we moved on to stencils and water to do the ghosting affect. i love that how all were given the same instruction and like every other class i have taught, all turned out different! i guess it totally depends on the stencil chosen, the amount of water and drying time, etc.

our final page was using color wash on gesso. i love how it depends on the thickness of the gesso and the coverage you have given to your page how the depth of colour changes. i loved how this page turned out in class as well.. each one different as you can see in the picture peaks

next month’s class i am thinking is going to be all about distress stains… my second most favorite product!

til next time…

HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!
