One of the things that never fails to
cheer me up is to dance. Sometimes songs come on the radio that make it
impossible for me to keep sitting still. I simply have to get up and
dance! I wanted to capture that happy
dance feeling on these pages.
Here is
the full step-by-step tutorial, but remember we all like to dance in different
ways so use your own favourite colours and figures to make the dance your own!
1. Gesso
2 pages in your art journal. I am working in an A4 Dylusions art journal.
2. Collage
on the pages using matte medium. I used a paper napkin with musical instruments
(use only the top layer), vintage images and text, as well as patterned paper.
3. Paint
gold gesso in some of the open areas and rubber stamp in others. I used stamps
from a stamp set my ImpressMeNow.
4. Using
Distress Crayons, add colour in selected areas and remove it through Daniella Woolf's Brick Factory stencil using a baby wipe. This is a technique I learned from Mary Beth
Shaw and I love it.
5. Using
the same stencil, spray through it with a permanent spray. I used Colour Craft
Brusho acrylic shimmer spray in Shimmering Scarlet.
6. Glue
on some more collage. I used large letters from a tissue wrap by 7Gypsies.
7. Again
using one of the Distress Crayons you selected previously (I used green), add
colour and remove it with a baby wipe through the medium stencil from the
Mandalas, Circles, and Spheres StencilClub set.
8. Drip
acrylic ink down the pages and spray it with water to make it move.
9. Use
a figure from a magazine as a mask and outline with a permanent black marker.
Do the same again on the other page but use the reverse of the mask to get a
mirror image.
10. Fill
in the figure with a white marker or with white paint. I used a Posca marker.
Some of the Distress Crayon will bleed through and I think that adds to the
interest.
11. Make
a stencil using the magazine figure. Using Jamie Fingal's Zen Landscape stencil and a
sparkling paint (I used Magical Pond by Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint Sparks) add
pattern and movement to your figures.
12. If
necessary, reinforce the black outlines around the figures. Write the text on a
suitable place using white marker. Add some white marks here and there.
13. Add
some fluorescent pink paint here and there for highlights.
14. Edge
the pages with a blue ink pad.
