Stencil-Art

Hi Everyone,

I plan to stock small art journals in the shop and have been testing some paper.  It has been such fun working in this smaller journal (150x150mm), especially as time is always in short supply!  This smaller journal also fits nicely in my handbag and does not take up so much space on my desk, making it much easier to create on the go!

Products used:
Dylusions Ink Sprays - London Blue, Funky Fuchsia & Lemon Zest.
Pentel Aquash Medium Point Waterbrushes.
Stencil-Art Stencils - Birds-in-a-Row, Flowers Mixed & Angie's Journaling Words 2.
Posca Paint Pens - assorted colours.
Koh-i-Noor Polycolor pencils.

Fill Pentel Aquash Waterbrushes with Dylusions Ink Sprays - this will make it much easier to control than using the spray bottles.

Use a paintbrush to apply water to the background.

Add the Dylusions Ink to the background.

Move the Dylusions Ink with a wet paintbrush.

Use a damp paintbrush to add "texture" to the dry background - this can also be done by removing colour with a wetwipe and a stencil.  Clean the paintbrush on a paper towel to remove build-up of ink.

Make sure the background is dry before adding the doodles with the black Posca Paint pen and stencils.

Colour in the images with Polycolor pencils - these pencils are oil-based and are very easy to layer and blend.

Add accents to the flowers and birds with Posca Paint Pens.

Use the white Polycolor pencil to soften the colours in the background.

Use  Angie's Journaling Words 2 Stencil to add the title and colour-in with Posca Paint Pens.
