Five Finger Art Studio Journaling with StencilGirl Stencils

Hellooo everyone! I am so excited to be here today!

My name is Catie Guse a.k.a fivefingerartstudio on Instagram.  

Thank you so much for having me as a guest designer!

Let's start off with “happy accidents happen at spontaneous moments!"

There is never a plan when it comes to my art journals. I love jumping around from journal to journal or piece of loose paper. And this page was no exception. 

Today I want to share a quick and easy page that’s great for those warm ups or when you only have a short amount of time to play with your supplies.  

  

Supplies used: 

Art journal

Matte black gesso

Crayola markers or a water soluble medium

Sharpie poster paint water soluble marker

White gesso matte
Cecilia Swatton's Feathers 6 stencil
Rae Missigman's Travel Note stencil
Kae Pea's Wheel in the Sky stencil
Seth Apter's Text and Texture Discovery stencil

Here I scribbled, doodled and lettered using Crayola markers. The more random mark colors you use and the more surface covered will yield better results in the next few steps. Remember the idea is to be quick and most importantly relaxed.

With your black gesso, scrape a thin layer onto your page leaving some marks show through on the edges for more interest and let dry. 

Now for the fun part! Add white Sharpie paint pen and/or gesso or matte paint and doodle through a stencil or two or ten!! 

Here is the finished page!

Thanks so much for having me and HAVE FUN!

You’re also welcome to tag me on Instagram or Catie Guse on Facebook.

I'd love to see what you make or how you have incorporated this technique into your art!

Lots'o'love,
Catie
