Welcome back for
another process video for an art journal spread I made using
Finnabair’s Impasto, Opal Magic and new Metallique Paints.
I have created an
abstract florals spread and have titled it ‘Simplicity’.
I’ve used a junk
journal that bound myself with lots of different papers, including
envelopes and magazine pages.
To start the spread I lay down a
dark background by mixing Impasto paints in Cobalt, Aubergine and
Pitch Black, and then used some Snow White to tone things down a
little.
Once the background
was dry I added some paint drips and Gold Mica Powder for highlights
and to mute things a little. Mica Powder creates a lovely watercolour/ink effect when you mix it with some water on your palette.
Then I got stuck into painting abstract
flowers concentrating on colour combinations and composition of the
blooms.
To finish off the
spread, I used water-down paints to create splatters and then added
some word stickers to display my feelings.
And now it's time for my video so you can see step by step how I created this spread. Please enjoy!
I hope you have
enjoyed this tutorial, and that you too dive into your art journal
spread and experiment with the beautiful Impasto paint range.
Yours in messiness
