LIVE - Art Journal Play using Liquid Inks

Hi everyone

Today's page was inspired by alcohol inks, not that I used much of them and not that you'd know in the final result LOL.

I did say I was having a break from the USE it or LOSE it series however, I hadn't used liquid inks in so long, so really it's another USE it or LOSE it video LOL.

 Hi everyone

This page was the first page I've done in almost three years! The recent few I've uploaded were done way back in 2019 - I had only just edited and uploaded them.

It's weird how similar this page is to the previous page (#243).

I am enjoying getting back into my art journals and playing.

LIVE STREAM - Art Journal Page

 Hi everyone!

Today I streamed live creating a journal page using the blind 3 'plus' method lol.

The 'blind 3 plus' method is where I blindly picked three paints and then selected the first three 'magicals' I came to. The paints were Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre and Oxide Chromium Green. The Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Magicals were 'magical mai tai', 'aloha avacado' and 'ocean breeze blue'.

At first I stencil gessoed the page using a 12"x12" KaiserCraft 'chevron' stencil and the finished effect is awesome! In essence, the gesso makes the colours used on top brighter than the un-gessoed areas of the page. Love that technique!

Again I printed some images to add to the page and used a quote from the Sticker Nation 2 book.

You can watch the entire stream in full on my YouTube channel by clicking here.
