“Make Peace,” Art Journal Page
By Nicole Austin
I like to start some of my art journal pages on pages that already have something on them already. I always create with several journals or surfaces handy to wipe off extra paint, or to try out or clean off stencils while I’m working on my “main” surface.
Today’s Creative Team video, I’ll show you how I start from one of those “test” pages and turn it into a finished page and how the scribbles and doodles that get lost under subsequent layers often show up in the final design. In this case, I used stencils and doodled some flowers that ended up being the main idea of the final page.
Products Used:
Stencils: “Doodle Letter and Number,” “Doodle Flowers,” and “Birds, Birds, Birds”
Golden acrylic paint (Titanium White)
Golden fluid acrylics (Teal, Prussian Blue Hue)
Brea Reese paint writers
Spray ink (Mr Huey’s or any permanent spray ink like Marabu would work, too)
Liquitex 15 mm paint pens
Stabilo 3-in-1 Woody Pencils
Make-up sponge
Glue stick
Washi tape
Tissue paper
Vintage ledger paper and music sheets
Palette knife
Be inspired, create and know that you are loved!
