Hello Dear Friends! Sylwia here with another art journal page. I cant help it that the book pages are calling me :) This time I decided to use the Donna Downey Silhouette Stencil as main focus and then I added some floral design with Donna Downey Sprout Stencils. After using Golden Paynes Grey and Cobalt Turquoise, I used my ow watercolour butterflies in a contrasting colour to give the page that pop;) I hope you will enjoy the video;)

Artist Gang Tuesday | Cristin "Feels Like Spring"
Hello! It's my turn to create and this week I'm working on a small 6 x 6 inch canvas. I love working small because I can make a lot of tiny detail. With this one, I worked intuitively... First using modeling paste and one of Donna's lovely stencils... then building upon that stencil with color and small details. I hope you enjoy the small timelapsed video I created - and I hope it inspires you to play as well!
I love the finished product... doesn't it make you feel like Spring?!
