Spring is here and what a joy it is to
see the green shoots and emerging flowers.
They have long been an inspiration
for artists and Matisse was no exception. Neither am I!
This spread is a joyful
celebration of colour, flowers and spring time.
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Gesso
2 pages in your art journal. I used the A4 sized Dylusions journal.
2. Scrape
on peach, pink, turquoise and yellow paint (I used an old credit card) and
remove the paint using a baby wipe through Deconstructed Double Zinnia.
3. Glue
on flowers images (from photos or magazines).
4. Add
text by using a text stamp (mine is by Anna Griffin) with a gold stamp pad (I
used the opaque pigment one by ColorBox.)
5. Add
more stamping with a flower stamp in colours matching the pages so far. (I used
Sunflower – Ornamentum by Uptown Design Company).
6. Using
a variety of orange and red paints (including some fluorescent ones) stencil on
flowers using Nonsensical Bloom and a cosmetic sponge.
7. Repeat
step 6 with turquoise and Scribble Blooms.
8. Repeat
step 7 with white paint.
9. Using
stencil Deconstructed Bold Lily and white spray paint (I used Liquitex),
spray over the stencil and then also use the sprayed stencil, turn it over,
cover with deli paper and brayer over it to get the negative image.
10. Use
yellow spray paint and stencil Scribble Blooms to add more flowers.
11. Outline
some of the flowers from step 9 with white marker and using your fingers (or a
brush) rub some gold paint to the pages here and there.
12. Add
more flowers using Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste in Metallic Gold with Nonsensical Bloom and a palette knife.
13. Outline
embossed flowers with pink and white markers, glue on text after colouring the
edges with a Picked Raspberry Distress Ink pad, and colour the centres of the
larger flowers with water soluble oil pastels in pink, yellow and turquoise.
14. Edge
the pages with the Picked Raspberry ink pad.
