    I like how the girl’s skirt is echoed in your choice of stencil; nice composition with it angled over her head.👍

    Thanks! I love echoing shapes. It’s like a subtle pattern or something. It’s fun to find unique ways to make it happen.

    Your journals are great, I know what you mean about mixing up our art practices. I did solid watercolour for 3 years and now am exploring lots of different things. I dont really have those interesting backgrounds, or those reference pics , so I guess step one is getting together materials ans collage papers.

    Yes! It’s totally about just gathering some things you like. Even reusing envelopes and mail and slapping some paint and marks on can make great collage paper. A few acrylic paints and a stack of papers can really go a long way.

    Hi! It’s a mixture of Liquitex basics paints to make a soft body paint.

    Yay, on a journal spread with papers, stencils & colors surprise & mystery happens. Since last video I ordered 2 plastic divider boxes. They are from the nail art side(small). My hope is to put some inks in & Charvin acrylics. My substrate is paper🪷💚🐾🐾🙂
