The stamp she chose is "SHE IS" - which she already had in her stash!: to see more of Liz's work and view the tutorial regarding this piece go to her blog  http://lizziea01.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/she-is-art-journal-page.html#more Supplies  used (in no particular order): SHE IS stamp Donna Downey PITT big brush pens - black and purple madder Staedler Mars Technico pencil Neocolour II water soluble crayons Derwent inktense blocks and pencils  Liquitex matte medium, gesso & High gloss Varnish Prismacolor pencils Letraset Watercolour markers Copics (Grey &  Brown)  Generals charcoal pencils St...

Art Journaling 101 New Class Series

Image
New Art Journaling Class Starting Saturday May 31st What is Art Journaling? Art journaling is about the creative process of pulling together colour, words and images onto a page. Unlike other forms of art, this is not about the outcome, it’s about the process.  An art journal is only for you - there is nothing to stop you from sharing, but an art journal is your safe place for experimentation and for play.’ What do you learn? In this 6 class series students will learn the basics of art journaling.  The students will experiment with different supplies (teacher provided) to help them find their preferred mediums. The course is intended to enable the creative souls of participants to emerge on the page. Liz Aitken Liz is a part time mixed media artist, doodler and art teacher who loves making a mess. She has an unhealthy obsession with paint and supplies. She is based in Melbourne Australia. Contact Details Phone: 0439 623 045 Email: lizziea01@bigpon...
