Art Journal Ideas: Watercolor and Acrylic Techniques

In this video, I take you through the process of creating a dynamic 2-page layout in my handmade Artisanal Journal. Using a combination of watercolor on watercolor paper and acrylic paint on a canvas page, I explore the interplay of shades of pink and orange. To add a touch of drama and depth, I incorporate striking black stencil work using a stencil from the Stencilgirl Stencil Club. Join me as I demonstrate how to blend these different mediums and techniques to create a cohesive and vibrant art journal spread.
