Fashion.....It's all about attitude....My Art Journal

2nd attempt

1st attempt....mistake ...shouldn't have outlined and used better fonts

1. Gesso the page...when it was wet I sponged it to create texture

2. I cut an image of a lady on Harley Davidson (she does have an attitude!!!)  and outlined  the page to focus on the layout.

 3.  Then painted the back ground  using Distress paint Salty ocean, Broken China and Scattered Straw

 4. Used Hero Art white paint for clouds and smeared the paint with my finger

5.Used Peeled Paint of Distress Paint and Ink pad along with Walnut stain Ink pad for grass background. Then stamped Heartfelt Creation Scenery builders

Very important...paint first then stamp otherwise the stamped image will be very light.

6. Finally the lady with an attitude...and my dream to own and ride a Harley Davidson in a leather jacket.

 Im not happy about it so will redo ..as the lady should be without an outline and the words should have been stamped.

PART II RE-DOING FASHION.... IT'S ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE.

1. Gesso with bathing sponge cut for texture

2.  Same steps as above but no black outline

3. Used fonts from 7 Gypsies and use ruler and tweezers to align them

4.

Hope you liked it... Appreciate your comments.

Let it go..my Art Journal in 6 simple steps

Click the pictures to see enlarged version.

1. First I gesso(ed) the page and then did background painting with

Item No.: 320 24 - Cretacolor BIBA Gouache watercolour paints 24

I dabbed textured tissue paper on wet color to get an imprint. It gave a fantastic resist effect.

 

2. then I stenciled using TCW405 4 feathers template

3. Then I outlined using oil paint marker/ acrylic marker black and white and then embossed using

Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamels, Aged Ivory Color

then splattered acrylic white paint

 

4. Then I stamped using Hero Arts Manuscript Background H2141 stamp and cut and paste a silhouette figure from a magazine of a women and outlined it.

 

5. Then stenciled (TCW 418s Mini halftone circles) using glass bead (Galeria Glass Beads Texture Gel) when it dries it will be transparent. Any Glass bead texture will also do.

6. Last used thickers American Craft Burlap.

 

You must be wondering why do I have a faint line at the bottom...My journal page is not 300 gsm paper so I journal on a pre cut 300 gsm paper which is a bit small for my journal book. So I have to add a piece and once work is final I paste the sheet on the journal book. This way I have all final work in one book.
