Todays post is putting together an art journal page using
only 5 colours, a couple of stencils and some collage.
Here is the video if you would like to watch a time lapse of
me making it.
So, lets begin …
I started by applying the top layer of tissue paper to the
journal page with matte medium. Ensuring
that there are no air bubbles.
I applied Black Heavy Gesso with a pallete knife through a
stencil randomly over the page.
Using one of my new designs of stencil, I used a sponge to
dab Black Heavy Gesso through the stencil to create an eye on each page. When I flipped the stencil to do the opposite
side I wasn’t too worried about the extra paint that may have been left behind
on the page at this stage.
Colour Spray Lagoon was sprayed where the darker areas of
the face would be.
White Heavy Gesso was applied to the lighter areas of the
face with a brush and blended out to the darker areas.
I gave the face some pink cheeks using a small amount of
paint with water added and blending it out to the side of the face and the
nose. I didn’t want the layers
underneath obscured to much so I made sure that it was a thin layer.
A watersolouble pencil in a black was used around the eyes
to add some depth and shading. The
pencil was activated with water and blended in.
To define the eye some more since they got lost a little with
all of the layers, I placed the stencil over the eye again and went over it
with Black Heavy Gesso daubed with a sponge.
This time I did make sure that the stencil was dry before flipping it
over for the other side.
The last step was to add highlights with the white heavy
gesso.
I hope that you enjoyed this.
Until next time
Selena
