Art Journal Thursday Video #16
Good morning!
I am happy to announce that my Art Journal Thursday video #16 has now been posted out on YouTube!
The supplies I used today were:
- Liquitex Gesso
- DecoArt Acrylic Paints: Tropical Blue, Tuscan Red
- Folk Art Acrylic Paint: Medium Yellow
- Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic Paints: Lemon, Ruby, Sky
- Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint: Green (02662)
- Golden’s Molding Paste
- Palette Knife
- Adirondack Metallics Acrylic Paint Dabber: Gold
- Fineline Applicator (18 gauge tip) – 4 of them
- Stencil – I apologize, I have no idea what this stencil is called or who created it – I remember purchasing this at Michael’s in a pack of 3 or 4 stencils
My inspiration for this spread was this cute little wooden wall hanger that I had found on sale at my local World Market. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful colors, and all of the interesting designs. I am thinking it looks very Moroccan in design, which I also LOVE!!
I wasn’t sure if it would be possible to translate this cute tile onto a two page art journal spread, the size difference was a little daunting to envision – a 4″x4″ tile versus a 22″x28″ art journal spread. BIIIIIIIIIG difference!! 😉
Anyway, I really like the way that this spread has turned out!
The textures are scrumptious!
And the little doodling designs turned out better than I expected. I am really in LOVE with my Fineline bottles!!! 😉
I also really REALLY like the color combinations! I would have NEVER used this mix if it weren’t for my inspiration piece!
I also really like that in some parts of this spread, it really does look like this was painted on wood! Doesn’t it???
And the coppery-gold section in the lower left hand corner, is very texturally interesting too!
I really like how this page turned out! I may have to look for more inspiration pieces, in the coming weeks, to keep me arting out of my comfort zone!! 😉
What do you think? I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this week’s art spread!! 🙂
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!
