artJOURNALING daily: winter wonder background and color palette

Here's a colorful art journal background with a winter palette including shades of blue with a little pop of bright red and fuchsia color. Paint your favorite winter colors in your journal!

ART JOURNAL technique: TRANSPARENCY monoprints

To create this background roll out turquoise paint onto a transparency with a soft rubber brayer then doodle over it with White Tulip Slick dimensional paint. {TIP} work fast because the paint dries quickly. You can also mix a little Acrylic Glazing Liquid to extend the drying time of your paint. Place the painted side of the transparency onto a piece of black construction paper, rub it lightly to transfer the paint then scratch marks into it with the back of the transparency with the end of a paint brush and skewer. Let dry. Apply paint with a foam brush to handmade stamps and found tools press onto the background then repeat stamp patterns.

Digital Art Journaling technique {top photo}---> Leverage your art to create a digital journal image. Take a photo or scan the art journal page, then import it into your favorite photo altering program. The photo above was imported into Photoshop CS5. A layer of text "Winter Wonder" is placed over the photo then I added snowflake and flower doodles drawing with my Wacom Pen Tablet. Explore more digital art journaling techniques in my new book Doodles Unleashed.

Thanks Traci for another fab idea and freebie. I must have a go at that this technique. I love the black showing through, nice and messy-grungy.
