Most of the times I grab different supplies (acrylic & water colour paints, inks, gelatos, sprays) in co-coordinating colours - most of the time not more that 3 different colours with black and/or white. I do not restrict myself to these colours, this is just a starting point. Most of the times I change some of the colours or even introduce more colours.
Art Journaling page using the Gelli-Arts Printing Plate & Heritage Craft Fluorescent Acrylics
I approach each journal page in three stages:
Background – mostly covering the white page with
something – paints, inks, paper.
In this case I used the Gelli-Arts printing
plate to layer Fluorescent acrylic paint and finished with Stencil-Art's Circle stencil and white
acrylic paint.
Focal point – drawing, painting or collage.
(The element or object in a painting or a piece
of art that draws the your eye to it, or the
main subject on your page.
I used
Stencil-Art's Face-basic stencil to draw part of the face and used Heritage
Craft Artist's Acrylic - Flesh and Touch of Pink. The details on the
face were done with Derwent Inktense pencils and a water colour brush.
I printed the quote on
tissue paper (I lightly sprayed the tissue paper with
repositionable adhesive spray and printed it with my laser printer)
and adhered it to the page.
I used Faber-Castell
Gelatos to colour-in circles and collaged old book paper some other.
Finishing touches and journaling – giving my page a title, doodling and writing.
I stamped
images from Claudine Helmuth "Bloom" Acrylic stamps with Dylusions
Spray mists and the Dylusions Spray Ink Pad. I then
"coloured-in" the background by rubbing Dylusions spray mists from the ink pad.
I doodled with Faber-Castell Big Brush and Pitt Artist's pens, as
well as my white Sharpie Paint Pen.
