Art Journal Page: Be A Rainbow

Posted on 1st July 2016 by perfectly4med

I guess you may be noticing by now there’s a common thread for my recent art journal pages… I’m using supplies provided by Judith at Woodware for my art journaling shows on Hochanda. She asked to borrow the journal for a Retailers’ Training Event at the beginning of July, and I’m determined to finish off all 21 double spreads to demonstrate the versatility of the media, particularly the Royal Talens Amsterdam paints. This layout exemplifies the vividness of the colours available in the 24 pack.

Used in this layout:

Frisk LayFlat Sketch Pad (small)
Royal Talens Amsterdam Standard acrylic paints (24 pack)
Royal Talens Amsterdam Gesso: Black and White
Sakura Permapaque Marker: Black (Basic set)
Posca Markers (1M)

Art Journal Page: Retro

Posted on 30th June 2016 by perfectly4med

I started this page with no real idea of where it was going to end up – scraping the paint on with an old gift card was the start of the background, before I added the retro oblongs using one of the same colours. The rest built up from there using the stamp set as inspiration.

Used on this page:

Frisk LayFlat Sketch Pad (small)
Royal Talens Amsterdam Standard acrylic paints (24 pack)
Woodware clear stamp set: Retro
Woodware Mask-It sheet
Royal Talens Amsterdam Gesso: White
Ranger Stickles: Stardust
Uniball Signo Broad: White

Art Journal Page: Be The Beacon

Posted on 25th June 2016 by perfectly4med

It’s been a busy week in The Studio supervising Harry whilst he was here on work experience – a really worthwhile experience for both of us. I started this page last weekend, and finally finished it this morning. Interesting timing given the ructions going on in this minuscule corner of the world since Thursday’s vote…

Art Journal Pages: Colour Or Black and White?

Posted on 13th June 2016 by perfectly4med

I’m busy prepping for my next shows on Hochanda, which will be introducing art journaling, on 16th June. I’ve already shown you the test pages in the journals that will be available, but here are two sneaky peek pages featuring products available to buy during the shows. There will be more sneaky peeks on Hochanda’s social media feeds during the coming week.
