Using Napkins - Mixed Media Art Journal Page Tutorial - Creative Collage Ep 3

[@WindyIris]

Does anyone else hoard pretty napkins? I find it hard to use them, even in my art journal:) Feel free to leave a suggestion if there's a mixed media tutorial you'd like to see in the future - next Tuesday I'm going to be working on a mini zine.

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

It didn't occur to me to use pretty napkins in an art journal like that,but I like it...watching your videos has inspired me to get back into drawing,sketching,painting,all of that artsy stuff and you have given me SO many ideas to use in my own work...I never really thought about an art journal,but I am so inspired by art again that I'm going to do one...thank you so much for your videos :)

[@WindyIris]

I'm glad that you enjoy my videos and that they inspire you:) Thank you for watching and have fun with your art journal. Don't stress about it and play around, I love mine for just creating and not worrying about how things turn out.

[@zinaz6666]

That's so funny in your comment u said Zine and my name is Zina!!! Btw I love your vids and u inspire me for years?!!!

[@oldstuff7634]

Yeah, I have some napkins that I have just cus they are pretty.

[@lpskawaiicrafts5254]

I honestly wish I did now 😂😂😂

[@jazzbazz6945]

You deserve way more subscribers than what you have. You care so much about your fans (me!) And your tutorials are so helpful.

[@dianecordova4565]

I love the way you explain everything 😀

[@WindyIris]

Thanks! 😃

[@angelahoynes5649]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@katiefrank2162]

I love how you did the page edges in the black. It gave it an aged look. Have you ever thought of making a page look like an old map for the background? It might be fun and would look neat with your pirate lady :)

[@WindyIris]

Yes it would look great with her! That's a really neat idea Katie, thanks for the suggestion:)

[@anandajaywardanaananda1542]

Omg time to take the advantage of my napkins 😁😁😃😂

[@WindyIris]

Yes:)

[@azzuparis]

I love this tutorial! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@KatyVaughanArt]

I love the napkin idea! It's very inventive!

[@WindyIris]

Thanks Katy - I think it's a great idea but it was one of the prompts so I can't take the credit for it:)

[@KatyVaughanArt]

Ah I see! Still, I like the napkin, it was pretty!

[@WindyIris]

It was so pretty that I almost didn't use it - I've been hoarding it for years:)

[@KatyVaughanArt]

Haha! I hoard so many art supplies in fear of wrecking them!

[@noodlesdoodles2948]

[@WindyIris]

Thank you🌸

[@hamayelpiracha1276]

I like your videos but I love to watch your creative ideas on how to fill sketchbook

[@WindyIris]

Thank you - I post the sketchbook and drawing videos every Friday so check back tomorrow for a new video.

[@rosekaur5221]

I've literally stopped drawing because I hate the style of my drawing I used to love it but now I'm not so sure anymore : ( love the video btw , it gave me a good idea : )

[@WindyIris]

Maybe trying something new would help? Perhaps collaging or art journaling - do a project where you don't have to draw. I often find that changing things up can help me when I'm dissatisfied with my art - I like to focus on colouring and I print out some colouring pages so I can practice and not worry about drawing the outlines😊 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.

[@gmgaming7389]

First and just to say I love u so much and have been watching for ages x

[@WindyIris]

Thank you for watching:)

[@talimediaart]

Can you do a video on the Bic Mark it Ultra fine point markers for like drawing in sketchbooks?

[@WindyIris]

Not sure if I can get those where I live but I'll keep an eye out for them - I have lots of sketchbook videos planned soon, including ones on using highlighters and gel pens:)

[@jeraldoverby7611]

G*R*E*A*T idea!

[@amberlyndsey87]

Are you using an acrylic block for stamping or a gelly block? I’m new to art and my craft store sells both and I have no idea what the difference is between them or which I should use

[@WindyIris]

I am using a acrylic block for stamping. A gelly block is a softer material and can be used for creating mixed media backgrounds. The frugal crafter has some good tutorials on how to create prints using a gelly block. But for stamping you use an acrylic block😀

[@amberlyndsey87]

@@WindyIris thank you again! You’re the best!

[@chetnatusharika]

Amazing picture mam

[@WindyIris]

Thank you:)

[@piano202]

Nice

[@WindyIris]

:)

[@lpskawaiicrafts5254]

Heeeeyyy when can u do a sketchbook tour?

[@WindyIris]

I'm not planning on making one - I have lots more sketchbook tutorial videos but no sketchbook tours:)

[@mileepatel6136]

What is the name of the sketch pen by which you color butterflly

[@maura2386]

Ummm...what do you do if markers bleed through several pages...I can't figure out how to work with it!

[@WindyIris]

I place a piece of scrap paper underneath the page I'm working on and that protects the rest of the books for getting damaged:)

[@maura2386]

Windy Iris Art okay thankyou!

[@angie-ub1pf]

can you make a tutorial on how to draw bodies. thnx

[@angie-ub1pf]

or maybe hair or chins plz

[@WindyIris]

Thanks for the suggestions:)

[@bridgettedunagan2873]

How do you get it to where it’s not wrinlking

[@WindyIris]

The napkin or the art journal paper? For the napkin I've separated the layers and then smoothed it down with the glue and a paint brush. For the art journal page - it's a thicker paper so that helps and I usually added a layer of gesso and that helps as well. On the whole my art journal pages are all a bit warped and wrinkly because of how much glue and paint I put on them:)

[@pratikshyasarangi2283]

where are the stamps from

[@WindyIris]

I wrote a list of all the supplies in the description box.
