ART JOURNALING
Art journal: Art and Soul
This art journal page was inspired by paint brushes, as I'm painting the walls of my new apartment at the moment. "Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life." To see how I made this mixed media layout, click the link to Youtube time lapse video tutorial at the end of this page.

HOW TO MAKE THIS ART JOURNAL PAGE
I started with printing out the crackle stamp and the word ART on white drawing paper, which I used as the background. I added water color, images of paint brushes, paint, the canvas and other details. I used two different stencils and effect pastes. The title is written with white gel pen on black paper. Remember to clean your stencil and brushes immediately after use with warm water and let everything dry before you go on to the next step!
