Taking bold chances with Mark-Making, Masking, Scraping & Sanding - to reveal fun surprises from previous layers. This Art Journal spread was so much fun! I experiment & play. I try new things and explore. I always love the results. Have fun with acrylic paint, mixed media techniques and collage to make painting FUN! If you don't think you're an artist but would like to try - this is for you too. Open up to an experience of painting fun and play, with no expectations. This should be a pleasant retreat from your busy life, a time for play and rejuvenation. I find it's better than meditation!
No experience needed, this is just for fun and it's only paper!
supplies:
-any Art book with Watercolour pages will be good. The thicker paper is more manageable than Mixed Media paper.
I used:
-Pencil Crayons - any you have...inexpensive are great!
-Paints:
-Golden High Flow & Fluid Acrylics; Quinacridone Magenta, Transparent Blue, Indian Yellow, Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold & White.
-Golden White regular paint
-Golden Fluid Matte Medium
-'Pebeo' Drawing Gum - Liquid Frisket for masking
-Fibre sheet for texture
Oil Pastel; Bright Orange & White....inexpensive are best for this use
