Next month’s art journal session is all about layers. There will be an unofficial ‘challenge’ to see who has the most layers on their page by the time the session finishes. I think my example had upwards of 20 by the time I had finished. The layers include acrylic paints which were stamped, stencilled and monoprinted using textured wallpapers. Over that were stamped archival inks before the title was stamped and matted onto the page.
It’s a bit of a melange, but I guess that’s the point of the exercise. I wondered after if keeping to a complementary colour palette may have worked as well – perhaps something to play with during the session next month. Spaces are available if you’d like to get inky and paint-splattered!

Loving the effect – reminds me of modern Harris tweeds – and it seems fun to do, encouraging me to get back to the ‘Chinese calligraphy papers’ which I was using to mop-up leftover colours last time I did anything vaguely arty. Thanks, Neil.
