I've been viewing Roben-Marie Smith's Videos on Vimeo and YouTube. Her doodling is fresh and fun.
This morning I opened up my Dylusions Journal hoping to create something fresh and fun too. Have a look at all the stitching on the tag! I call this layout "Pink Makes Me Smile".
My favourite paints are Golden Fluid Acrylics. I chose Light Magenta, Titanium White, Cerulean Blue Hue, and Green Gold. To start, I glued down pieces of old ledger and book papers to the right side of the page, then added white gesso to blend the edges into the page. Taking those 4 colours of paint, I randomly washed on the colours. Then I started making lines, dashes and circles with a Sharpie Pen. I drew over the circles with a Stabile Pencil then used a wet round paint brush to smudge the Stabile Pencil marks. To finish off the background I used a Fineline Applicator filled half with black paint and half with Fluid Medium. I absolutely love how the script writing turns out!
Sewing adds so much interest to Art Journal pages. I went in my pink ribbon stash and pulled out a few pieces of scraps. Some are attached as banners to the tag, others as the tag opening and a page tab. Look closely at the photo below, you can see where I cut out 3 petals for the flower on the left side of my Journal page. Using the scrap paper you are working on to cut out pieces to add to your page is a great way to use your scraps!
If you get a chance, check out some of Roben-Marie Smith's Videos. She will show you how doodling is fresh and fun.
Have fun creating!
