Creative Beginnings: Painting Your Art Journal's First Layout

​

In this special bonus video, join us as we dive into the delightful process of starting our mixed media art journals. We'll begin by reviewing the stunning journals crafted in my newest workshop - From Scrap to Treasure: Creating Unique Art Journals - each a unique blend of creativity and personal expression. Then, I'll guide you through the creation of a two-page layout, using a vibrant palette inspired by the Color Cube on one side, and completing a harmoniously colored handmade paper page with intricate stencil work on the other. This video is perfect for anyone looking to infuse their journal pages with color, texture, and imaginative design, giving you a firsthand look at bringing the first pages of your art journal to life!
