Art Journal Class : September 1st

 ‘Blackbird Sing’ art journal page 
         by Dot Leathbridge

Our focus in this class is on alcohol inks, quick and easy backgrounds and DIY tissue paper. This is a mixed media page that uses the products that we have become familiar with.
We will explore a fun way to use our alcohol inks, creating a beautiful, easy and fun background that will leave you wanting to do it again and again.

Art Journal Classes

Dots next Art Journal classes are at the end of this month. Our Friday class is a catch up of previous  art journal classes and the Saturday class is a new page.

Flower Garden Art Journal Class

The focus of the Friday class is using Dina Wakley paints, and Distress Oxides on a black background.  We experience how to use our paints in a more economical way to create amazing backgrounds quickly and easily.  It is a fun technique that really has that WOW factor.  Stencils are also used with a tone-on-tone technique which has a great effect that compliments the painty background beautifully.
