Today I am going to do an art journal page using my
favourite colour at the moment, Sienna.
I challenged myself to only use this one colour plus black
and white.
To begin, glue tissue paper to the art journal page using
matte medium. Ensure that there are no
air bubbles but creases and texture are good to have. Images of flowers were stamped repeatedly
onto the art journal page with a permanent black ink.
I gathered all of the Sienna coloured products that I
have. This included Colour Shimmer Spray
(Sienna), Colour Paste (Sienna) Colour Shimmer Cube (Sienna) and Colour
Embossing Powder (Sienna).
Colour Shimmer Spray in Sienna was sprayed over the entire
art journal page and was blended with White Heavy Gesso to create a light
coloured background.
Stems were created with Colour Shimmer Spray (Sienna) by
pooling the liquid at the base of the flower with an eye dropper then holding
up the art journal for an organic shape to be created from the liquid moving.
Using a palette knife, Colour Paste (Sienna) was applied
around the flower edges to create the petals.
Lines were also carved into the Colour Paste while it was still wet to
create some more texture and interest.
The inside of the flower was painted with Black Heavy Gesso to create contrast in the flower.
Colour Shimmer Cube (Sienna) was painted over the Black
Heavy Gesso once it dried. The Colour
Shimmer Cube really comes to life over black to show off its shimmery goodness.
Embossing ink was daubed in the middle of the flower which
was then covered with Colour Embossing Powder (Sienna). Once the excess was removed it was heated
with a heat gun and activated.
Black Heavy Gesso and White Heavy Gesso so was used to create
some details and definition in the flowers.
Using the Black and White Heavy Gesso, Colour Shimmer Cube
and Colour Shimmer Spray colours were flicked across the art journal page
landing on the background and the flowers.
This is the finished piece.
And a close up photo of the the detail.
I hope you enjoyed this.
I would love to see you work using your favourite colour in a range of
products.
Until next time
Selena
