This week I’m sharing a mixed media art journal process video. I chose to work in my Brave Intuitive Painting art journal. The journal is meant for writing and reflection, but I use some of the pages for drawing and painting.
I created a colorful background before recording. It’s mixture of pink, orange and some other colors I off-loaded from my palette. I allowed the background to dry. This is the ground that I started with in the process.
I used negative painting and etching into wet paint to create the tree and large leaves. The image is like the photo shared in the art journal. Working on simple pages helps in learning new techniques. I hope the video process encourages you to try something new in your own art journal or sketchbook.
ART JOURNAL VIDEO
FINISHED PAGE
I’m pretty glad how the page turned out. I like working on pages like this. I get to practice different techniques. I also discover color combinations I wouldn’t otherwise use. It’s a great practice to develop skills and explore.
ART SUPPLIES
I made a list of supplies I used in this process. I do not have any sponsors or affiliates. This short list is just to help viewers that want to know what products I used during the video.
You can use whatever art supplies you have on hand.
