Mixed Media Magic: Abstract Watercolor in an Art Journal

In this art video tutorial, I explore mixed media journaling using the Dina Wakley Media Journal. With its varied paper types, I demonstrate a spread featuring two watercolor pages. Using Kissoh Gansai Tambi watercolors, I guide viewers through creating an abstract watercolor across both pages, accentuating it with pencil marks and gold touches. This tutorial provides insights into techniques for depth and expression in art journaling, suitable for artists of all levels. Join me on this journey of experimentation within the pages of the Dina Wakley Media Journal.
