Art Journal Thursday #24!
It is better late than never…
I am happy to announce that my Art Journal Thursday video has been posted out on YouTube!
The supplies I used this week were:
- White gesso
- Art Advantage Acrylic Paint: Permanent Green Light, Phthalo Turquoise, Cerulean Blue
- Dina Wakley Media Stencils: Halves, and Spinners
- Dylusions 5×8 Stencil: Circles Small
- Black Stabilo Pencil
- Finalize Bottle filled with white acrylic paint
- Punchinella
- M. Graham & Co Titanium White Acrylic Paint
This week’s page is actually really simple, but I love the way that it turned out.
I was really excited to get started on this week’s art journal spread because this was the week that I got to start in my crisp, clean, new art journal!
My new art journal is a Strathmore 400 series, 8.5×11 watercolor paper journal, and I am just LOVING the size! It is so much more manageable than the art journal I just finished, which was a Strathmore 500 series 11×17, I think!
The pages of this journal aren’t quite as smooth as the last journal, but I think I will be able to enjoy myself so much more, now that I don’t have the pressure of trying to figure out to cover such a large spread! So YEAH FOR THAT!! 😉
I am LOVING all of the textures that this background technique has created!
I also really LOVE the colors that I have chosen for this page – ACTUALLY, it was my hubby who chose blue and green – his favorite colors!! Thank you, Sweetie! 😉
I also am really enjoying adding art journaling to my spreads!! It has kind of become a game to see if I can figure out a new way to journal on my page each week! I really like the circular journaling though…might be my new fave! 🙂
So, even though this page was really simple to do, and actually came together rather quickly, I am really very happy with how it turned out! I think that this new journal is off to a great start!! I can’t wait to see what comes out next!!!
What do you think? I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!! 🙂
Also, if you have any ideas, or techniques that you might like to see me try in one of my future layouts, please let me know in the comment section and I will see what I can do to be accommodating! Also, I really do LOVE answering any questions you may have about art journaling, mixed-media, or anything you might have seen me do here! Please feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I will try and get back to you in a timely manner!!
Until next time!
Here is to a BEAUTIFUL CREATIVE life! 🙂
