ART JOURNAL COVER -Mixed Media Tutorial

I'VE GOT YOU COVERED
In this video I do something I've never done before. I create on the cover of my art journal starting with a grungy gel print that I fell in love with. The colors of the gel print directed my focal image and color choices and led to the creation of a piece of art I absolutely love.

Hello... I love your journal cover! I love the gel print and how it's centered on the black painted cover. Love the fronds and how they pop against the gel print... love the idea of having extras for future play... love the fine line applicator idea for paint to outline/write... love the overall design... thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration... have a great day! 🙂

Love the colours of fall! Your frond stencils are fab. Have you thought of offering them for sale? Just a thought! Thanks for the inspirations, Karen. x

Thanks a lot. Yes it is fall inspired coloring without being traditional fall focal. K

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks for subbing! Here is a video where I show how to do just that. th-cam.com/video/IekBOs4bYIA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mL1Q_AE9ZKl7-SDY
