My first art journal tutorial for 2015! I hope this will be a exciting year with lots of amazing adventures for all!
I titled this page: NEW BEGINNINGS
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Decide on the placement of the face and lightly draw the outlines.
- Start writing thoughts down on the page, I am writing down all my ideas and plans for 2015.
- Randomly stamp the background with clear embossing ink and emboss with embossing powder to create texture.
- Apply Gel Medium through the Dahlia mask and stamp it randomly on the background – this will act as a resist once you add the PanPastel colours. Make sure that the gel medium is dry.
- Add extra dimension to the background by layering PanPastel colours through the stencil.
- Seal the background layer of PanPastel with Matte Gel Medium – apply a thin layer with a brayer. I used my soft rubber Speedball Brayer.
- Use the Sporty Girl stencil and draw the outlines with Big Brush pens. Blend the harsh lines and add colour to the whole face. Also add shadows and highlights with the Big Brush pens and blend each time.
- Apply a dark colour of Acrylic paint (Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paint – Night) with a sea sponge around the face to draw attention to it.
- Pull everything together by brayering a thin layer of white Gesso over the whole page.
- Use Acrylic Letter Stamps and acrylic paint to stamp the title of the page and add highlights by slightly offsetting the stamp and stamping in white.
- Add Shadows and highlights to the word with the Big Brush pens in Warm and Cold Grey.
- Lastly outline the word with a black marker once the paint has dried and add the date.
