Art Journaling with Mixed Media - Fixing Ugly Pages
Art journaling with mixed media - how to fix ugly pages
This week, I am answering the question: What to do with art journal pages you don’t like.
You won’t believe how I got here when this is where I started. Art journaling with mixed media materials sometimes makes magic for me. Other times I create an ugly duckling. The important thing to remember is that nothing needs to be permanent when you create, including what’s in your art journal. Join me as I turn this page into a bright, beautifully layered page I love.

⭐Best Viewing Experience for YOU ⭐
Every creative person has different needs. Here are the different ways to enjoy these videos.
- Some enjoy hearing me explain my process. If that’s you, make sure your volume is on.
- Others prefer to read my process through the closed-caption subtitles. If that’s you, turn on the CC at the bottom right of the video.
- Some don’t want to hear my voice (that’s ok 😀). If that’s you, turn the volume off and watch.
I have had every video electronically translated through close captioned subtitles into 18 different languages to be able to reach and connect with as many people as possible. If your language is not represented, please let me know.

There are so many great lessons we can learn from making art - the power to change things is one of them. As always, Happy, thank you for the lovely words here. 🥰
Ugly ducklings are so essential to any artist and should be embraced. They are like footprints. A testimony of your artistic journey. No journey, no excellence. Jackie, you've turned your ugly duckling into a stunning multi-layered beauty❤! Aloha from Berlin ❤️🧡💛💚💜 - sorry for being late ... life's happening ...

@ 6 minutes I liked the page and would have stamped some large leafy or floral images and then cut up the page for greeting cards! That’s how I work on the gel prints I create! Your choice of brighter colors created a lovely morning mist look!

That little brayer has quickly become a favorite of mine. As for the subtitles, I now have the videos subtitled in 50 different languages so people watching from anywhere can understand the crazy experiment I do in the studio 😂 🥰
Oh my dear Jackie 🥳 I just noticed, that you reached 15 000 subscribers ! Heartfelt congratulations 🥳🥳🥳 I love that you deal with "ugly" pages and how to feed the ugly duckling, till it becomes a shining swan. Quite a pleasing development from dizzy dark to uplifting daylight. Thanks for showing, Jackie. Have a pleasant Sunday and week 🤗. Britta 🥰

Hi Terri - I'm so happy you're here! I swear, gel plate pulls surprise me almost every time - especially when I use the plate as a palette. I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the videos. 🥰

Thank you so much for this video! I have a painting that I did years ago that I put aside because the background was dark and I wasn’t experienced enough to lighten it. Seeing what you did here, I feel I can attempt to fix it. Definitely need to get a skinny brayer!!! Thank you again for sharing. I look forward to Saturdays to see what you have for us next 😊

I told you that you inspired something 😜 I think that this would be such a fun workshop - have everyone bring their "uglies" and reimagine them...hmmmm...I may have to do something with that. Thank you for the inspiration 💜🥰
How fun was that! Now I have to get out a bunch of "what was I THINKING?" journal pages and obliterate them with new layers.... And that tiny brayer is just adorable, by the way.

Ha! I saw that same narrow brayer and had to have one myself. The art journal page turned out so beautifully! I particularly enjoyed seeing that light blue and that mars pale. Are you familiar with pan pastels? I have a tint very similar to that mars and it's my go-to. Thank you for sharing this fabulous transformation and your infectious joy. I'm off to transform my own journal page that very much lost the plot.
