This is the big sister to a layout in my tiny art journal , which I showed you a few days ago.
While this has a different arrangement, it started with the same concept, circles and the same quotation. It also has the same paint colors. Both backgrounds were painted at the same time.
Just as with the tiny version, this began with text papers from a book, magazines and junk mail being attached to the page with Liquatex Matte Medium. When it dried, a layer of gesso mixed with a bit of water was brushed over the page to lower the contrast.
Liquatex Basics were used to create the background and stenciling was added for more texture.
The black circles were created with a variety of stencils. When that dried, I added more detail, and the magenta clocks to the page. In addition, the quotation was stamped on deli paper and then attached with Liquatex Matte Medium. Liquatex Markers were used to add the larger, details.
Finally, gel pens of various colors and types were used for the scribbles and smaller details.
It took me a while to finish this, but I’m happy with the way it came out. I am becoming more comfortable with various mark-making techniques and they are slowly becoming a regular part of my practice.
Use your art to heal your spirit.
