Hello friends,
Today I want to present you one of my recent art journal pages made with mixed media technique which I sent as a card with warm autumn wishes to a loved person.
1 - I sticked pieces of old book pages with heavy gel medium onto my journal page and covered with medium everywhere. Then I cut the edges in order to get a nice straight border.
2 - I painted the page in orange with acrylic paint.
3 - With stencils and light brown I created some patterns
4 - With a black marker I drew 3 falling leaves.
5 - This picture regroups several steps, I was so absorbed that I forgot to take intermediary pictures 😃 :
- With the sponge I dabbed some red paint around the border of my card.
- Then I continued with the yellow oil pastel in between the leaves.
- With the red and green oil pastels I created some more colours on the leaves.
- I re-traced the black lines of the leaves with liquefied brown acrylic paint in the bottle with the pointed tip.
6 - When dry, as a final touch I added a little of golden acrylic paint onto the dark brown leaves lines and I put some more stencils with the golden paint.
Realizing this card created such a warm atmosphere and I had a very relaxing moment while doing it.
