Foreign Lands Art Journal Spread

5/21/2017

Today I'm sharing my newest art journal pages! This spread incorporates acrylics and PaperArtsy paints and StencilGirl Products – with pastels, inks, collage, and handwritten quotes using techniques from Roxanne Coble's Lyrical online art journal class! This spread is 12" x 18" in my large Dylusions journal:

Mary C. Nasser, Mixed Media Art Journaling

I've combined Around the World Latitude, Just Plane Fun, Michelle Ward's X Rows stencil, Mary Beth Shaw's Greek Key stencil, and Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch's String stencil!

I also stenciled words from my Let's Go 2 stencil with Jet Black Ranger Archival ink pad and fingertip sponge daubers. Then I remove the stencil and connect the bridges with my Sakura black Identi-Pen.

Below are detailed photos of my pages:

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
I hope you have a fun and creative week!

Mary, I love it! The colors are refreshing and drenched with shallow depth water. The technique you use (last photo) has appeared in some of your other spreads and it's so cool. (3 rows of dabs in unbleached titanium, pearly white and aqua) Looks like you've added something to thicken the paint. Could you share the secret or how I would find out?

Thank you, Rachel! No secret...I'm just using heavy body tube acrylic paint that is thicker in nature than fluid acrylic. Nothing is added to thinken the paint. :)
