We continue our 3rd tiny Art Journal Book! Part 3 = more experimenting with paint.
Art therapy, and fun with Gel Plate Printing to use as Collage in a tiny Art Journal.
This is truly Painting for your Soul. Paint, resists & Gel printed tissue paper onto our tiny pages...each lesson building our confidence and skills in very short painting sessions.
-Enjoy a state of mindfulness and play by 'Painting for your Soul'.
*This time we use the Printed Tissue prints we made from our very own DIY STAMPS. How cool!
No experience needed, this is just for fun and it's only paper!

I demonstrate different techniques so you can learn and grow, developing a wider range of skills and ideas each time. You will also learn how to turn mistakes into something fabulous! Remember, it's just paper!

set of 3 different colored tiny bound books

-Printed Tissues from my stash used: refer to above links to create yours.

-Paints: Golden High Flow Acrylics; Transparent Blue, Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, Indian Yellow, Quinacridone Red, Red Iron Oxide, Green Gold.
Golden Fluid White Acrylic

-Golden Fluid Matte Medium - for pasting tissues to book page

after drying each page thoroughly, you can rub Baby Powder or Corn Starch - for dusting pages to avoid sticking

REMEMBER TO LET THE PAGES DRY THOROUGHLY BEFORE EVER CLOSING THE BOOK. *IF pages do stick together some day in the future, gently pull apart...and you will have to go over any disturbed areas with new paint....it's easy to paint overtop a mistake with acrylic paint.
