Ladybug Journal Page Tutorial by Shilpa

Image
Hello Everyone, Shilpa here, Today, I have my next Journal Page to share with you. This journal page has lots of layers of colors, texture and stamping. Here is step by step tutorial.. I already had color onto my page from previous projects. I adhered old book page pieces randomly on the surface and tag. For more colour and texture, I applied white gesso with dry brush and when it was wet, I sprinkled Colour Arte Pigments and water on the surface.   For the next layer, I stamped text , dots and Leaves on the page and tag using black and coffee color archival inks. Next, I colored piece of glassine paper using brown color pigment. And stamped Ladybug image on it using black archival ink.   I also used embossing powder to create texture at some places on the page. When I adhered Ladybug image on the tag, I finished with this journal page. Thanks so much for stopping by. Let me know if you find this process interesting. ...

Let's Dance with Rubber Dance all over an Art Journal page

Hello my dear creative friends, it's Anita here today to show you step by step how to make an Art Journal page, like this: As you know an art journal is a kind of a private journal, and many of the great artists had an art journal where they sketched and wrote down their big ideas. Often an art journal page would be a bit messy, and have some writing. And that is what I show you today. Everything is allowed in an art journal. As you can see I found some beautiful pictures in a magazine which I tore out and glued down on my page. That is also allowed, to find something beautiful and use it in your own art. Not copy it but just as a part of your own art. If you copy someone else's art you have to credit her/him. Okay, so here we go: Step 1:   Find some nice pictures in a magazine an tear them out and glue them down on your page. Step 2: Let dry, then use some clear gesso all over your page. Clear gesso to not hide the nice pictures you h...
