Art Journaling : Out Of My Comfort Zone

Yesterday was Art Journaling Class! I love getting together with my local girls & trying new stuff... new layers, new techniques, new supplies... well I used this last week as a time to get out of my comfort zone. I default to acrylic paint pretty regularly... and I just got a whole slew of acrylic inks.. so I worked up this page in mostly inks :) I also subbed in some oil pastel, which gave my page a great warm fuzzy feeling! You may notice.. the color palette is also out of my norm.

Makes me happy looking at it again :) :)

Art Journaling 9.11

Art Journaling!!!

Sorry this post & Video is going up a little slow this time around.. was down with a cold and a couple other things earlier this week. I finally got my FULL voice back and was able to voice over this baby. We built upon the lesson from the week before with more mark making tools and did some REVERSE STENCILING!

I promise it's a lot easier to do than it looks -- it's all about layers and building up. Here's the video followed by some closeup shots. Feel free to join my facebook group and share your interpretation plus see those of others!

Art Journaling 9.4

Helloooooo Friends ^_^ It's September.. and that's super exciting for me because I am now doing art journaling class once a week! YAY! That means you can either join me every Sunday for 2 hours of instruction with products included for $10.. OR tune in shortly after for free videos of the same lesson.

There are a lot of fun things happening in the future.. like maybe possibly sort of kinda opening a PHYSICAL STUDIO?! :O #vaguebooking -- haha.

Yesterday we had the first Art Journaling session of the month and it was superb. We delved into mark making and creating real and fake textures in your art journal pages. Plus.. we took a new spin on using EMBOSSING FOLDERS in our art journaling...

Here are some shots of the class hard at work (Join our facebook group to see their creations) :

Now onto the video! Followed shortly by detail shots and the supply list. :) See you next week!
