hi everyone its Keren here and welcome back to my channel today I have a brand
new video tutorial it's a new art general in page how to start an art
journal page or how to do in our journal page and what I wanted to do is just
talk a little bit about the other formulas that I have done this is the
fourth video which means the fourth formula that I've done with the exact
same products which is a soft matte gel from Prima the modeling paste and they
clear just so these are the basic products you need for mixed-media and
art journaling and then i'm using the color bloom sprays of course you can
substitute these for other brand of products but i just wanted to use the
same ones for all videos and i'm linking the videos below in the description area
i just wanted to apologize that this is been a week since I've done my other
video I've been basically almost bedridden with a really really bad
inflammation and pain in my knee and I really could not walk and I could not do
any art I was so painful that I actually could not even function so it took me a
while to do this fourth video and I apologize for that I just wanted to come
back and do it right away because I did the first three videos quite quickly
like one after the other but I didn't forget about it and I just want to do
the fourth one now this is my joggled journal I want to show you the other art
journaling pages that I did this is for formula number one and in this one if
you recall if I recall let's go with that I did gesso and then I use modeling
paste sprays and then the soft gel then you have formula number two and you know
go back and read I can't remember I have to look it up wait I have it on my phone
here so I'll remind you which one I did and I'm going to link these below so you
know and formula than the two I've actually used a modeling paste first
with a really nice the crafters workshop stencil and this happened to be one of
my favorite for everyone I'm and I really love in myself the colors are so
bold so it's really nice and the stencil is nice so if
first I used modeling paste then I applied a gesso
then I put the spray and finally the gel to glue everything else and for formula
number three I actually used the gel first because I used it with some paper
underneath then I used a gesso this phrase and finally the modeling paste
which you can see at the top and it kind of created a really nice texture today's
today's a formula it's very similar to this one but I'm actually switching the
the sorry I'm switching it around just to show you why how it works when you
switch the formulas there's so many different formulas you can do with the
same exact products really there's so many and as you start adding products
from mixed media you tend to start mixing more things and experimenting
more so again I encourage everybody always experiment always have fun and
don't worry about the outcome just try your best and try to experiment and this
what I like about this journal is that you can take the pages apart and I'm
going to do that and show you again today and I'll put them back to the
other afterwards so this is the juggles this bound watercolor journal and I'm
just taking two pages you don't have to work it two pages some people just work
with one page I like doing double page layouts they look but more spread out
and cohesive but you don't have to you could leave the bag blank a lot of
people just do one page and leave the other side basically blank because you
see how they get stained on the other side so you could do one page and then
another page in another page and just have the one side blank or you could do
one page on each side and have them different it that's up to you so I'm
gonna put this aside and I will have the two separate pages here and what I like
about this is that you can use them and apply things without having to work on a
bulky journal so you can remove the pages these pages are very very thick
there are a thick watercolor paper amazing for mixed-media or watercolor
any type of thick mediums that you want to put on them so for today's formula
the first thing I am going to do is the same thing as last time I'm going
to use the soft matte gel with some tissue paper to create some texture in
the background then I'm gonna use modeling paste then just sew and finally
the sprays I will go back a little bit to the soft gel just to put the to put
like some of the sentiments at the end and I wanted to also say something in
this like you can see my nails I had to cut them off I didn't even have time to
remove my nail polish so it looks awful but that's okay and I actually even cut
myself so today I am going to use gloves because I really want to protect my nail
I have a like I've an injury here so I want to make sure I think I ripped my
nail too far and still having a little injury here so I want to make sure that
I don't get it that infected or anything like that so I'm definitely gonna use
glove at least on this in this hand but you don't have to use gloves I usually
don't use them but it's nice to sometimes have them handy and I buy them
at the dollar store I think I buy a package for that so let's get started
with formula number four so I gathered some tissue paper and also some napkins
as I said last time you could use different things to kind of create nice
texture in the background and I used last time I use the Tim Holtz like
tissue paper this is the one I'll show you in a second everything is dropping
so it was this tissue paper that you could use so you can go watch that video
I also use this tissue paper it's a script' tissue paper from canvas
corp you can use any tissue paper that you want you could even use like
something this came out of like I bought this it's like it has a nice pattern
it's just really light and it's firm like a tissue paper that I used like I
bought up shirt and some stores have a really nice tissue paper and then like I
showed last time you can use napkins and I thought you know but let me use a
napkin today to really show you how it work how cool it can look and this is a
very busy napkin I just thought it would look really cool and the
background I mean I know as it is I'm always trying to experiment and do
things and other things sorry that you could use also in the background I want
to show you before everything fall is like washi tape this is really nice
washi tape from Dena Wakeley so you could just stick things on so but I
don't want to complicate things too much I want to just show you simple basic
mixed-media our journaling and to use a napkin you know how napkins have
different layers you do need to basically separate the layers and
sometimes that is a challenging task so I'll try I don't know why I can't
separate them red you're supposed to once I separate it okay so let me do
this off-screen and they'll don't waste your time looking at how I'm doing this
so I'll be right back and I would not be able to do this with gloves so it's good
thing that I didn't put them on yet I did it I wonder if there's a second
layer as well for me because you want you could I mean you could save this or
something else I think there might be another layer let's just check oh there
I got it so you see how I'm like separating the nice layer from
everything you want to have just a pattern have it as thin as possible
okay-dokey no it's dead so you could save this so you could throw this
whatever you want with the white stuff and to use what you use for this is the
gel and I'm thinking I'm not gonna use the whole pattern first so I don't want
this strip I just want the flowers so I'm going to just rip it you could just
glue it straight you don't have to rip it like I'm doing but I really wanted to
just include the flowers only so let me get a straight edge here so I will get
the straight edge here and you can always cut it around so you're I'm kind
of doing it straight but not exactly don't forget to have
these grooves that I don't feel like cutting around so I'm not even going to
roll around so everything I'm just going to kind of cut like this and there's not
really a rule how to do this there I think like that
it doesn't have to cover at all because I want to make sure that these are not
covered right because then I won't be able to put them back in the album and
let's see the other side mm-hmm like this I don't think I wanted butterflies
in it I'm sure that would look nice so I could use actually a butterfly's after
and cut them out into the to make to keep it into my butterfly themed of all
four formulas so let me just not use the butterflies now and I'll cut them off
after and I'll actually cut around them and you can use them as like
centerpieces so yeah I think this will work so I am going to grab this off my
gel and use like I did before with my silicon brush and all you do is really
easy same as a tissue paper you can just apply it onto the background just make
you get it make sure you get an even coat so you make so you don't get any
air bubbles in your underneath your napkin and again you can use anything
for this like it doesn't have to couldn't even use scrapbooking paper you
don't have to use like this you can use like scrap paper you know just make sure
it's thin enough I mean it could be thick as well but it's just it's harder
to glue thick stuff I just find it harder when it's really thin it glues so
nicely on hmm and this is almost like what we used to do like deco polish
basically doesn't matter if it gets wrinkles or it rips no it doesn't matter
to me because you know what it's part of the
design it's part of the texture if you are very careful you will not get those
wrinkles and you want to get rips like I just did here and that's
okay but I like it it look enough looks at this dress so all you want to do
after that is just seal the paper because you want to protect it from the
medium so you're gonna put on I would definitely seal the paper do not leave
it like this it's too thin and as you sew even a tiny little like scratch just
makes a huge hole so you want the gel actually protects it and seals it so
it'll be part of the background there we go there we go so I'm gonna let this dry
and then I'm gonna cut around it so I really like that this is a really nice
it's completely different I guess to my other designs but it will kind of tie in
with everything else you'll see at the end I'm gonna do the same thing on this
side so this is what I mean by experimenting
and I guess I didn't put my gloves on I should put the glove on I will when I
have to do this phrase okay right now I'm not touching anything so it's okay
I'm only only this is touching the medium but sometimes I tend to put my
fingers and things so that's where the problem comes and the other direction if
you need to with with the silicone brush just as smoothly the house you don't
want any like thick areas not that it matters I guess but you want to be able
to avoid the thick hair areas okay let me try to line this up so I can get
those butterflies because I only have one of these napkins I must have seen it
and really liked it yeah that'll work
oh I must have ripped this other butterfly as well they mean to do that
and just want to seal this and if the corners after like after you Cod need a
little bit more glowing then you just do that you just glue oh I just forgot
sorry I just realized I glued this right on top where I wasn't supposed to come
on cuz I don't feel like I don't feel like cutting this after there we go I
just almost forgot to do that if you're in a regular journal that doesn't have
these openings and you're good you don't have to like worry about that but since
I need I need to keep these in and and this will be kind of like a white space
for me so that's okay I don't mind it and you could cover it all and then go
and cut it if you really want to I just don't have the patience for that I'm a
very impatient I hurt you which is not fair bushy look at that see I went to
care and it wasn't sorry I wasn't careful and look at the hole that I did
good by doing that's okay as I said it's part of the design and actually don't
mind those tears they look really nice okay so I'm going to dry this up I am
going to then cut around and then you'll sculpt you I'll come back once it's all
cut okay so I finished drying everything and I actually cut all around with just
regular scissors not a big deal once it's dry it's easy to cut off and I
didn't need to show you that on a video and I'm going to add the stenciling now
and you see how sometimes it lifts here I just have to add a little bit more
glue I'll do that in a second a more gel I meant to say but one thing I want to
talk about like this formula for the reason why this this one as a formula
for and did the other ones has one two and three is because I feel like this
one is a little bit more involved it's not as beginners I mean it's still a
beginner because I'm still using the beginner products but I think because I
added a very busy pattern here it will show you a little bit more there's a
little bit more layering layering info this one has the most amount of layers
because it has the same amount plus at the end I'm using the gel I'm using the
gel two times so don't be afraid to experiment this is what I always say and
if you don't have this type of pattern which you could use a scrapbooking paper
as I said for this but if you don't have this type of pattern it doesn't really
matter what pattern you put in the background you're gonna see that I'm
going to hide some of this pattern after and that just helps to kind of bring
everything together but playing around with it and then seeing like you like
you can always use gesso to hide things so if you don't think it's too intense
which this looks beautiful and so on but if you think it's something looks too
intense then just go ahead and cover it up and start again or don't put the
paper and just do the other you could do just the next step without adding the
gel underneath it's like the other formula so you play around with the
formulas until you're happy with the result I'm going to use a stencil from
the from jong-il's I really love this stencil I was gonna use a different one
with a pattern but I really don't want to hide the flowers so I thought this
was a perfect stencil it'll they look like kind of palm leaves I will get the
name after I will post it below I just can't remember what this one is called
and I'm going to use modeling paste now of course any type of texture of stencil
would work for this you don't have to worry about which type of stencil you're
using and what I'm going to do is I'm going to kind of create a nice pattern
of leaves in between the flowers so if you see that there's a flower here I do
not want to cover that flower so I will just go in between the flower
I'm gonna use my modeling paste and again my silicone knife you see how many
uses this silicone knife is good for like you use it for the gel you could
use it for the modeling paste and with this one stand still I have to go
against the green just be careful because things tend to lift up which I
think I just made a mistake on it but that's okay okay let me see how this
turned out you will really not see much of it oh no you will never mind I'm
gonna take that back you do see a little bit of it now I'm
going to use a different leaf and just have to be careful not to smush this
other one so I'm going to use a different leaf over here and it can
stick out a little bit out of the page so I'm gonna use it here and just have
to go in the opposite direction otherwise it gets caught which I'm
getting stuck on Hanah I guess if you in this case if you use a little bit more
modelling piece even though I always tell you to use a little bit but if you
use a little bit more modeling piece with something like this it helps
because it doesn't their little pieces don't get lifted so that's that it got a
little bit smushed but that's okay and then I want to add another one here on
the third and I might actually might cover this flower just because it's kind
of purplish I'm going to go with the red flowers and the orange ones which are on
both sides so I might hide a little bit of the purple not sure how it will turn
out you'll see what I mean by hiding I will be using a little bit of white
gesso this time I know I said I wasn't going to use white gesso and I showed
you last the last formula how the white gesso can hide some areas but I think
I'm gonna have to use it here because otherwise it will be too bright and let
me just put this on and I'm holding it up so it doesn't interfere with the
other one if you don't want to hold it up I'm used to doing this and it's easy
for me and I don't care if it gets mucked up a little bit if you don't want
to do this you can dry up in between each leaf application or each stencil so
if you want to add something here and then something on the other side and you
don't want to wait I don't want to like make a mess of it all you have to do is
just dry it in between so there's that one side I'm going to move this to the
side so that way it's easier for me to work on this other one without mucking
the other side and that's what I like I just mentioned this before this is what
I love about this stencil is that you can not the stand so sorry this journal
because you can move the pages around is great I'm gonna put a really big leaf
here I really want to have a space here for putting a really big leaf so I'm
going to do that because I want to and
this is the same process and I realized something a few people have left
messages for me saying that I at the beginning I talk too much
that I'm explaining too much but to tell the truth I feel like that explanation
is needed and if they don't like it they can just fast-forward it they don't have
to watch the beginning of each thing I do try to explain as much as I can but I
find that if I start making the project without explaining then first of all I
lose this train of thought and also like I can't talk about other things when I'm
working so I need to only talk about what I'm doing which is up let's say
applying the modeling paste or something else but I start start talking about
other things I get all confused and I guess I cannot think and and work at the
same time I don't know maybe that's just me maybe that's a higher function kind
of you know thing that people have but I just can't do it now I want to show you
one thing I'm gonna bring the other one back just to show you what I mean so we
know that in in any type of composition whether it's layout or like a project or
even in this case art journaling you want to have an odd number of things on
the page so and if you just were doing this one page it has three and you kind
of bring the focal point to this flower over here
however I'm thinking of the whole journal as a whole and trying to explain
why I could put three here as well but I'm kind of running out of space number
one number two I wanted to put this big leaf over here so I can count
odd numbers including the whole page and just put a little leaf right here and
that will be the hoe like that will be balanced sorry that will balance the
whole art journal page if you understand what I mean
so you can count it as three and three or you could do five and then your art
you could also do three and the whole things we could have
put one here one here and one and one in the middle so there's many different
ways of balancing in our journal page I'm just going to move this back I just
wanted to talk about that because it's an important aspect of our journaling
it's an important aspect of art balancing something so your eye gets
drawn to wherever you're telling the viewers to draw it to so if you want
everybody to focus on a specific focal point like and like this flower for
example you need to draw the eye to that flower in order to do that you need to
have an even an odd number of objects drawing it to that are it to that focal
point whether it is an archway whether it is a stencil area whether it is an
embellishment or anything like that and as I said you see I'm talking and I
can't like do the paste when I'm talking because I really want to explain what I
mean however I will put this one down and then I will see if I need a third
one on this page and I will only know once I do it because sometimes it's just
natural you kind of see it and I tell people with my students what I tell
people to do is when they don't know I tell them to close their eyes and then
open their eyes right away and tell me the first thing they see if they see the
one focal point that they were talking about let's say this flower then you
know that you have balanced it properly so you can't you will not know until you
actually kind of close your eyes unless you've done this for many many years and
then you're okay and then you know so I find that this is okay but my eyes kind
of drawing everything on this to this direction it's not it's not making me
look here I feel like every time I look at this and if you want to just
literally cause the computer from pause the video for a second and close your
eyes and look at here and tell me what's the first thing that you see the first
thing that I see and I don't want you to get like I want you to do it I don't
want to tell you the answer because there's not really an
answer to this but it is like a more brain function thing you will I am
seeing this page and this one is kind of not hit it hidden for me it's not there
so I guess I did not balance it properly so I do need to anchor something over
here but to do that I don't want to cover this flower as I said so all I'm
going to do is I'm going to add a little tiny leaf here okay and I'm going to
hold it up like this and I'll show you what I mean and then we're gonna do the
experiment again the same way okay I add a tiny little one there and now do the
same thing close your eyes and then open them again and tell me what you see when
you open your eyes your eyes should focus on basically everything you will
be seeing both pages at once so I don't know if you notice the difference I mean
it's hard to tell like you might not notice that at first but the first time
everything was heavy over here and it wasn't balanced so my eye drew me
directly to this one in this page was kind of in the background was the second
thing that I saw however once I added this little anchor here in the back
which made this balance a little bit better which is what I should have like
done so this is where you kind of play with things you can see that now when I
close my eyes and open them right away I see the whole thing I don't see only one
thing and I like this kind of looks like a wild jungle I don't know anyways I'm
gonna clean my stencil let this dry and then come back in a few minutes now that
my modeling paste is fully dry and make sure you always clean your stencils
after you use modeling paste or any type of paste or Jess or any paint I mean
with paint you don't so much have to or with spray unless you want to not
contaminate next time but the paste relieves a really thick layer so you
really want to be able to clean your stencils you can use them next time
again the next layer that I'm going to put is
gesso and as I said I was going to use clear just so
for all five formulas and I'm going to do that just to show you why clear gesso
is so handy but for this formula I'm also going to integrate a little bit of
the white gesso like I did last last time in the last formula the good thing
about clear gesso or let's start with all Gesell's in general they're amazing
to prime any type of surface so in this case I'm priming paper so to get it
ready for the sprays that I'm going to be using now the difference that I that
is there between the clear gesso and the white gesso is obviously in the
transparency why gesso is obviously white and covers while the clear Jeff so
it gives you a clear finish now the reason why I like using clear gesso for
this type of sorry the reason why I said to use clear gesso it's just because
there was no difference in any of the formulas in terms of using it because I
could use either one and it would work the same but in this case one of the
things that clear gesso is great for is to be able to prime something that
already has a pattern so for example as you can see I'm adding it here and once
it dries which I'll show you in a couple of minutes once it dries it will dry
clear so you can see the pattern so if you do something like scrapbooking or
any our journal or anything that uses paper or any surface that you want to
show the pattern underneath like these flowers for example or or a script
pattern like in the other one all you have to do is your clear just so that
way that you're not hiding the pattern the pattern is still there and all you
did is prime the paper so you can use sprays so here you see me adding this
and I'm going to quickly heat set it so I can show you what I mean about it
keeping the pattern in the background
so as this dries you will see that I mean it does look kind of whitish or
like milky when you're using it but when you dry here I am drying it already the
pattern stays the same however it does have that greediness that the Jessel
usually has so when I put that texture when I put the sprays and the color it
will actually keep a so it will actually be able to absorb the color however one
of the things that I wanted to do is I didn't want to have such a busy
background so if you do want to cover certain areas of your art journal then
you can use white gesso and I'm going to show you what I mean by that so I'm
going to take some of my white gesso this is an art basic as well it's a
heavy gesso so it's quite thick there's different consistencies of gesso and you
can go watch my video on what is just so and the different types of jazz on how
to use it but for this case I like using the thick one because then I only have
to give it one coat of gesso I don't have to like do it a couple times which
is really nice to do there are liquid Gesell's out there there are a bit more
liquidy almost like the consistency of this other one or even lit more liquidy
than that and you can just find a gesture that you like and what works for
you so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take the white gesso and I'm going to
use it in certain areas just to hide some of the pattern that I don't want to
show in the background so I love this flowers for example so this flower I
don't want to cover but I do want to cover for example the stuff behind the
leaf because it made it really busy so this I want to cover a little bit and it
doesn't have to be fully covered just a little bit okay now if you want to give
it less of a cover all you have to do is just take the white gesso and then mix
it with a little bit of water
and what it does it creates a much liquid or I don't think that's a word a
liquid form of the Jessel and then you can just basically give it more like a
whitewash excuse me so you see how it gives it a more of a
whitewash instead of a full-coverage and let's say you covered it and you
actually don't want it covered so much you can go ahead and remove some of it
while it's still wet and it will still give you that nice white wash so I
wanted to cover the pattern behind this but I didn't want it so dark so I can go
ahead and just add some more of the SOI wipe it off a little bit so I'm going to
cover it a little bit here and just give this a nice whitewash that's it so there
I stayed with the focal point and so much for wearing gloves I keep on
forgetting to put them on I keeping the focal point the way I wanted it which is
this flower but I'm just whitewashing the rest of this stuff and I'm leaving
the flower quite strong they're the same thing I'm going to do on the other side
I'm going to cover the areas that I don't really want to be seen so strongly
so because I wanted to keep this in the reds and oranges colors all I'm going to
do is I'm going to cover the areas where I didn't want them to be where I didn't
want to show the other colors so there was some purple there so I am covering
that a bit and you can just cover other areas or wet as well there's no really
you're like a rule of what to cover and whatnot and as I said if you make a
mistake you can just go ahead and remove it the
nice thing about this is that once the gesso is there and you want to and you
spray it you can still remove some of the designs from so you can still remove
some of the spray because the Jester kind of resists it so there we go
I think this is how I want it so you see I have these flowers then it's not
really balance its moral oh no it is actually it's balanced here I keep on
not seeing the bottom of this so I like that and I just going to dry this up I'm
going to dry it up and then I'm going to add this phrase which is my favorite
part usually okay so let me dry this and I'll be back in a few minutes okay it's
dry and I finally decided to put at least a glove on this hand where I have
the little cut on and I am going to add the sprays as you can see what I meant
by the white that kind of covered some of the areas and if you really want it
fully covered you can add another layer of gesso once you dry the first one but
I'm okay with this that I want to show some of the pattern but I didn't want to
show those strong colors now I'm going to spray and I'm going you know I'm
going to use three colors I'm going to use three color bloom spray colors which
is the same stuff I've been using before I'm just switching colors between the
layouts just because to just a variety I get bored of the same colors this is the
spring dandelion it's a yellowish color then I'm going to use the brimstone
wings and Sun is finally the golden oregano which is kind of like a greenish
color as well sorry so that I'm using yellow and green and I want to start
with the lightest color which is a yellow and this one is just easy to just
apply it everywhere would you barely see anything it's a very light color this is
actually my last bottle of it I have to get some more and what happened is that
it's very diluted because I just added more water even though technically there
was not much in there so you won't see that much of this yellow really even
after you might not and I'm going to mix it with some of the brimstone wings one
of my favorite kind of greenish colors it's beautiful
and you see that red flower still stays there but I will show you that you can
actually use a wipe after to wipe off the excess around the flower so you
don't get you don't get you don't cover it as much so the flowers can be kind of
pulled out of the black the background because you have that gesso so I added a
first layer I do want to add a little bit of the greenish layer but I want to
heat set this a little bit it's pulling too much and it's too watery so I'm
going to heat set this a little bit just so I can add that second layer after
otherwise everything will just fall everywhere I mean will just drip
everywhere I'm lightly heat setting it and this is
a good way of adding layers in terms of technique so you can add the layer of
let's say the light color and then you add the darker color after so this helps
just to kind of put it into place and I'm going to mix these a little bit and
if you don't like where something is going as I said before just wipe it off
so I mean I didn't dry it fully at all I still want it a little bit wet so when I
put the darker color it will it will mix with the other green it's just like fine
this is too much maybe I'll just wipe it off a little bit
okay so really I barely dried it I just wanted to have it in the background now
I'm going to add a darker green and for this one as I've used in the other
videos I want to use paint brush for it let me just find a clean paintbrush I'm
very bad at keeping my paint brushes clean okay so I'm going to go to the
bottom of this just to get the kind of the dark my car there and I'm going to
add it to the edges of my journal especially this edge and
once I lift tilted a little bit what the Grutter green is going I might hold it
like this I might have to add somewhere it's probably not enough sometimes you
have to add quite a bit in order for it to start moving or you could help it
with a little bit of water so there we go
it's starting to drip down but I don't want it so much to drip as I want it to
kind of go flow so if it's not flowing the way you like it you can use some
kind of trick and direct it to the area that you want well it looks cool it kind
of looks like a wild jungle this one over here it's nice but it's not what I
want but you know what let me just let it float I'm not going to fix it yet I
can always wipe off if I want to this is something that I'm not sure if it's
gonna look good so let me try let me just let me just go with the flow as I
said it's really important when you're doing art or any art journaling or art
to just go with the flow and because this one has a leaf coming this
direction maybe I'll let it drip in this direction as well yes okay that's good
now I like it better so you see I want to kind of drip it in the direction of
the leaves now I wanted to mention something really interesting about this
because I've talked about mixing colors and how you should stay with the same
family of colors warm colors or cool colors like the green is a cool color
and usually I like using it with blues or with yellows yellow kind of fits into
both warm and cold or somehow you can mix it with everything because it I
guess it's kind of a makeup color that it mixes with everything mixes also with
the Reds and also mixes with the blues but if you're going to add a red right
now to this if I went ahead now and added orange and red I'll end up with a
really dark brown so what happens you'll get up you'll get
kind of a muddy color which is not what you want obviously not not always I mean
you might want some brown but that's not what I want in this design so the cool
thing is and this is what I wanted to mention is that in order to avoid that I
added these red napkins underneath and they look like it's powder of the
pattern and I was able to get away with adding red flowers in the middle of a
green jungle so I mean you could get away with this with permanent inks but
when you're doing it with sprays or with paints you need to let it fully dry
before you add a color that is not from the same family of colors so if you do
want to add red after this you need to heat set this really well and even put
fixative on it in order for it to work and I'm going to talk about fixative in
a second but first let me do the other side so I really like that I might want
to add even some darker green we'll see what I can find but first I just want to
add the green on this side and let me move it to be closer and not go across
the page like that so that I don't like I don't like that one line okay okay so
here I know I have a leaf but the point is that I should lift it this way and
then put the little leaf on this side so in the other ones in the other journals
I tended to put the dark color at the end of the journal a tea that this eight
edge over here however because I have the leaves coming in different direction
I liked it better when the when the jernt was sorry when the drips are
coming towards the leaf or going in the direction of the leaf so sometimes you
do have to change directions you can't always I guess go in the same direction
as you've gone in other things and this is why it's so nice to experiment and
basically find things that you like to do and how you like to do them
you know what I once hold on I'm going to add some yellow here in the center
and make it have it mixed I want it lighter in the center maybe not so light
maybe a little bit of that light green okay that's good so that looks really
cool now what I'm going to do is I'm going to dry this and I'm going to add
another set of dark colors and then at the end I'm going to take a wipe and
just wipe off around the flower so you'll see that it really actually I
could do that right now never mind not at the end to kind of
take away some of that green from around the flower I can just dab it off and
then you have that flower really sticking out from underneath you need a
clean light for that so they Jess what makes it easier for you to do that
and then it's easy to just wipe up the areas that you don't know and I like
this flower as well so I'm gonna keep it there there we go so yeah I like that
I find it maybe I don't know I think I might cover that one back again if you
like it a certain way you just cover it up so let me dry this really really well
and then I'll add a second layer which is really important to do is to dry in
between the layers so that way you can you can they become darker so hold on
I'm gonna dry this and I'm also going to remove some of the pooling that is
here
just want to
or perfection I'm going to dry them so it's fully
dried and I really love how the pattern is coming out wow I really really like
that and I'm going to do a second layer with the same color which is the golden
oregano I'm gonna bring this back over here and again I'm going to add it and
this time I'm going to basically add it basically where the leaves are and I
want it it's too far away from me hold on here so I want to add it in the area
it just needs to be wet a little bit more once you have enough then it drips
nicely not sure it's not even dark enough you know what let me introduce a
new color this is the fern Edel it's not making it dark enough for me and I
really wanted darker this is a little bit of a different shade of green I
think I used this one last time on something so let's see if this works let
me get our wipe here too much of hair is pulling okay let me go in here with this
darker oh yes okay you see what I mean by that I wanted a little bit of a
darker color to pull pull around the leaves and at the edges of this yeah I
like that much better
and I said don't worry if it goes over the flower or the pattern it's not a
problem it can be wiped off as I said I don't want stripes I don't want the
little drips like that let me you know what you can also do you can also spray
a little bit of water to make it a little bit more watery that way when you
add the green it kind of flows yeah okay I should have done that to begin with
and I did this in the other ones I don't know why for thought about this so you
see how it flows and it becomes part of the background if you can balance this
properly you have a hard time you could dry and
do one leaf at a time so dry make this leaf dry it and do the other one I'm
just kind of balancing everything and things are might drip in different
directions and that's okay and let me do this one over here okay so I'm going to
add it here oh I forgot to water or the other option if you don't want to wet it
with water you can a little bit of the the lighter green it will mix really
nicely also it's a dark green so I put some of the brimstone wings and then
when I add the darker green it just flows with it so I want it to flow in
all directions and here as well so I'm kind of framing I always like
using the darker colors to frame things so in that sense it works out well let
me add a little bit of water here to kind of let make this flow it's a little
bit too perfect I want it to flow a little bit okay that's good let me add a
little bit of the that lime green the brimstone wings and don't worry as I
said about the flowers that will come off yes I really feel it needed that
darker color you can compare this isn't I mean this is beautiful on its own but
I really wanted a darker color to be there let me start on this side as well
so I'm gonna start with this leaf over here again I forgot I keep on forgetting
to wet this
maybe I'll just wet the whole thing that way it will flow everywhere so the
reason why it's pulling here in the middle it's because my page warped up a
little bit if you want to avoid warping I mean you can't avoid warping let me
rephrase that if you want to fix the warping on a page you could run it
through like a die-cutting machine on its own just protect it with
pages and just put the two clear plates on it and just run it through the
machine and it will flatten it up which is a good way of getting it to flatten a
nap and not be all worked up I don't worry about that too much
I just as I said go with the flow I like going with the flow
oh and I love this color I think four needles is another favorite I know I
think I have too many favorite colors this is where the problem comes and you
have too many favorite colors and you don't know what to do how about all the
favorites so there we go I like this a lot just want to help this
one a little bit it's kind of not helped okay there we go I really like that I
think this one is pulling too much here and I want to kind of move this around a
little bit so I like how this one I like the framing of this one I'm not going to
touch it I'm just going to pull some of these there's too much ink on this one
okay that's better so let me just add a little bit more here just at the edges
feels like good went in the middle and they forgot to keep stay some on this
side I want them a little bit in the side and kind of flowing in that's good
so the rest it's kind of look good to me
yes this looks like a tropical jungle to me that's basically what I came out of
it and you know what go to the dollar store and look for napkins there if you
go to a party and you see a napkin that you like you know somebody you might
let's you invited somebody hosted a party and you see her really napkin I
will have put in napkins in my in my purse before I've put doilies in my
purse before when I used to do a lot of scrapbooking and that was a great way to
mad things so anything can be recite so that's the beauty of it and it's so
nice to just do that okay let me close these so that way they don't get like
completely lost and you see how these leaves are partially like light and
partially dark I really like that so just key that happened naturally I
didn't plan for that I didn't know how I was going to come out but it happened
naturally and that looks really really good so the only thing I'm going to do
is I'm going to wipe off a little bit off the flower carefully so there is one
so I really want to show that flower and the same with this one I really want to
show this flower as well and the nice thing about the wipe is that it it kind
of takes off in a pan or in a perfect square so it kind of looks like it's
part of the design and look at that I love this I actually love it I can't
believe how like you know I didn't even actually know where I was going with
this one I've been like when I say I was bedridden I could barely move so I'm
really happy with how this turned out I'm really really excited I thought to
myself whether or not to put the butterflies as I said before I actually
was trying to see this butter so I could cut it out and put it here but you know
what it's so busy I'm not gonna add butterfly on this one cuz I think it's
gonna be too much I'm just gonna add my sentiments right over here the flowers
are perfectly spaced I don't need to do much to this anymore it's just done so I
just want to add a sentiment but let me dry this first because it's just too wet
to add anything
so I'm really loving how this turned out it actually looks to me like hibiscus
flowers in between a jungle I don't know I really like it but I guess it's my
thing so I should like it anyways I wanted to talk a little bit about
fixative I should have mentioned this in the other videos as well and because
these Collard bloom sprays and a lot of this sprays unless they're dye ink they
tend to mix with water even though after they're heat set so a good way to fixing
them is where there's a couple ways of fixing them one of them is to use
hairspray which is something that most people who most women have around the
house or you can just buy a cheap one somewhere but something that I'd like to
use as well is this it's called pixie dust fixative this is the Prima one and
it comes in a powder this is a brand new one I'm going to show you how it works
you could use it for to fix any type of medium that does not fix on its own does
it not that that basically reacts with things afterwards I'm going to mix it
with water this is just water
okay and then I'll just shake it and remember when you're shaking any type of
spray no matter which one it is even if it's fixative which is the clear color
always shake side to side don't shake up and down because they
will clog inside inside the spout so you want to shake this as much as you can to
get all the powder out and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to it's just
kind of milky water but it's fixed there now these sprays do have some fixative
in them but not fully so I do want to add some more into it you see it just
kind of has that milky nest in there oh and let me remove the has become a
little thing that stops it from spring so now this will wet everything again
and that's okay hold on hasn't caught on to the spray it a good thing once you're
done using your bottles you can reuse them and put make your own inks with it
okay now extreme okay so I just go spray everywhere you want to cover everything
so it fixes they the ink in the background the mica and then of course
you have to dry this because you see how it's still mixing with things but it
will just it doesn't like make them move everywhere it's just fix it them
wherever they are so let me dry this again I'm gonna dry this point
I mean I'm gonna dry this part and then I'm going to add my sentiment I wanted
to remove a little bit also of the ink above the pattern of the leaves to kind
of bring that nice modeling paste out so you can just grab a little wipe and just
remove a little bit of it and it just really makes it stick out which is
really nice so I haven't dried this all fully that way I can still remove some
of it because once it's dry with the fixative I won't be able to do this
anymore well I really like that it just brings out that nice pattern to this
surface the last thing I want to do is just add a sentiment and this is one of
the sin this is one of the tissue paper sentiments that I've used before this is
from the Dean awake the media collage words and all I want to do is just cut a
little piece out of it I picked already the one I want it I
want to say it's art you know art grows your spirit so I need to kind of go
around it and cut around it without cutting the gloves so there's lots of
there's a really nice things in all the tissues tissue paper and you can just
pick the one you want and it's perfect for our journaling I really love these
just very simple and I'm going to actually cut it in half to split it up
between split it up basically
okay so cuz it looks more balanced that way okay so then all I do is just you'd
use I didn't speak anymore I think I'm hungry it's lunchtime
all I do is use the gel medium again and as I say I could have used the gel
medium to glue the butterfly if I wanted for anything else but I'm just going to
use it to glue the little saying here I could add small butterflies I didn't
think of that I could technically go and add some smaller butterflies but I think
I like it the way it is I don't know if I want to change anything or add
anything except for the sentiment so they're resolved art grows so hard wore
it with gloves you see how now like that the color in the background is fixed and
it's not coming on top of my words I should have fixed any other ones as
well but I forgot and besides the fixative which I'm going to link as well
below the other thing that I'm going to link is wax from Dorland and that one
you can add it's a little wax that you add on top and that way this pages also
will not stick to each other over time the last thing I want to do is just
stick these back into my journal and look how easy it is to do this so I just
go ahead and stick this back right in
they pop in so nicely inside very easily oh very easy as I'm saying this and we
always do it backwards it's easier for me so I'm just a right-handed so it's
easier doing it the other way around and then you just pop it back up so there it
is my journal formula number four and stay tuned for the next one which is
formula number five I'm listing all the videos links below over the first few
formulas plus some other beginner mixed-media videos if you want to watch
