Creative Fusion: Mixing Blick Matte Acrylics in Your Art Journal
In this art tutorial, I delve into the world of mixed media journaling, using the Dina Wakley Media Journal as my canvas. With a focus on experimentation, I explore various techniques to create a dynamic layout on the watercolor pages, complementing existing elements with a carefully crafted flap. Utilizing Blick Matte Acrylics and a stencil from Stencil Girl, I weave together shades of blues, greens, and graphite to add depth and texture to the composition.

Dina Wakley Media Journal - Looks like this one is gone - you might google this journal to see what is available still. I heard it was a discontinued journal and the craft journals were the ones currently being made.
