How this example was done:

Here’s the video of how I did my page:

 

First step – Background. Gesso – to seal the paper Collage – used gel to put the magazine image and text onto the page Color – you have to know I’d reach for the neocolor to do the background in pink, darker pink and purple.  Spread with a wet brush and blended with a paper towel Blend – I blended the magazine image by using neocolor’s over it.

Second step – Painted Elements.  The magazine title didn’t have enough white space to be a rectangle --- but we can fix that.  I painted a white rectangle around the title and then extended the gray at the lower corner to be another layered rectangle. Then I outlined them with my dip pen and black ink.

Third step – Shadows.  Tina said yesterday that she was having a tough time with shading and shadows --- so the video has a section on doing those!!

Fourth step – Journaling.  I discovered that my gel pen works just great over neocolor and gesso on watercolor paper.. but stinks over the same mediums on paper bag.  hmmmm.

 

Supplies used today:

• masking tape
• pitt artist pens
• dip pen nibs
• acrylic ink
• waterbrush - you can never have too many of these!
• neocolor II water-soluble crayons
• gesso
• gel medium
