I actually like the brushes, I like pink and orange. On camera, I think it added depth. ❤

Thanks Leigh for keeping it real. We don't always get the results we want. I still loved this video even though you were a bit disappointed. You used some products I haven't seen before and I learnt to put on quite a bit of gesso if you want texture.

I love how you just go for it when trying things,. And then you figure out what to do next if you don't get what you want. You always seem to rescue every page.

I really love it! I don’t have an artistic eye, that’s for sure, but once you pulled the piece all together, I really liked the brusho on the flower. 🌸 It’s so unique and beautiful. And the background is gorgeous. I really just adore this spread! Excited to see more in this amazing altered book! Hugs 🤗❤️

Thanks Tamara, pleased you like this. Yes, it's a bit like cooking a cake, the ingredients don't look too appetising sitting on the kitchen counter, but the result is usually tasty. Hugs 😊😊😊

Lovely double page layout. Your watercolor flower is so sweet. I feel your frustration with the texture struggle. You’ve got me stumped on the paint medium you used with the sienna . Was it clear gesso, an acrylic matte medium gel or something else? Anyway… love today’s pages. 👏👏👏😎 Take care.
@leighcreates2 ай бұрын
Thank you so much Donna. That was liquid painting medium, a bit like glazing medium or gel medium. If you thin down acrylic paint with water it reduces the amount of stickiness and it can crack or peel off with time. The medium keeps the stickability of the paint in tact. I've had it hanging around for years so thought I'd use it up. (Liquitex Matte Fluid Medium)

Ps as a newbie to art journals i would appreciate if you showed the camera the products your using or said what they were if thats ok?
@leighcreates2 ай бұрын
Great point. I try to mention the products as I use them, but it's easy to get lost in the moment and forget. Will do my best to remember to show the product as well but can't promise anything, (at this point in my old age I can't remember what I had for dinner last night unfortunately). 😂😂😂
