hello everyone!!
I am back today to share with you all the art journal page created for this months class.
1) Using your brayer pick up some gesso from your craft mat and brayer a thin layer onto your page (tip if you don’t want it to be white you can use a bit of chalk or scribble some coloured pencil to colour your gesso)
2) Add various colours to your page using colouring sticks (this could be scribble sticks, watercolour crayons, distress crayons, neocolour, etc)and using a wet paint brush blend the colours allowing drippage. dry
3) Cover with another layer of gesso using brayer and before the layer completely dries, spray with a bit of water and using one papertowel blend and remove gesso (try removing excess water by laying your papertowel flat and smooth with your hand.. does it leave behind a cool design!)
4) Taking the archival stamp pad and the sets of words (there are three different ones) and ink up those words and stamp randomly on your page until you can see the words…. repeat this with the other two sets…..
5) Here is where in class we add the three words from our meditation using stabilo pencil … remember to lightly write the words, or not, and smudge them out with a bit of water
6) Brayer another thin layer of gesso and add some more colouring sticks repeating using the paint brush with water to blend.. remember to keep this layer thin. This is where you will determine your final colours to your background …. When done set it aside for the final dry
7) Colour your stamped image using colouring sticks of your choice.
8) Stamp the imagine on the page and they cut and layer your coloured imagine on top
9) Add your precut/adhesive backed letters to your page
10) Layer on the prestamped words onto where you first see them on your background and then add splatters, edging and final touches to your page
that is it for today!!! don’t forget to share your projects!
until next time my friends,
