One of the first questions I usually get form new art journalers is the difference between tactile and visual texture. Here’s a mixed media video using (mostly) the same products and showing the difference between visual texture and tactile texture. You’ll get not one but TWO art journal pages out of this video!
This art journal page started as nothing special, but I wanted to glue down some of my used up paper towels. From there, I went crazy with stencils, sprays, and colors of almost every side of the color wheel!
Here’s a very bright, happy, and ultra mixed media art journal page. It uses nearly every medium I own! Hope you enjoy it!
This is a super quick, simple, and pretty little page. The whole point of keeping this page simple to make was that I should feel “no pressure” to create. Sometimes I get so caught up in worrying about making sure I have a video ready to upload to YT that I forget that it’s all about the creative experience. Hope this quick little video inspires you to create a simple page. No pressure, though.
This is one of my shortest videos in a while, but I wanted to create something quickly with a lot of pop! I managed to achieve both! I apologize that I missed the first steps of this page, but I’ll explain what I did in the video and it wasn’t something you’ve never seen me do before.
The moral of this page is to try to keep looking at your art as a novice artist would. Continue to challenge yourself and realize that you’ve only just begun the journey that is “art”. Thank you, as always, for watching!
This art journal page was made while I was heavily medicated with Sweet Tea Vodka, which is why it looks like I finished the page in the middle, then decided the next day to redo it! Never be afraid to cover up your ugly pages! This page was made using silver spray paint, drywall tape (as a stencil), acrylic paint, Dylusions, and Heidi Swapp Colorshine.

The X Page has arrived, ladies and gents! This page is made using Dylusions, Acrylic Paint, Black Gesso, and that’s pretty much it! The Y page is not far behind!
The ABC Art Journal Series “V” page is here! On this page, I used Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap (I truly adore that stuff) and a ton of acrylic paint and finger painting. Not much more than these two products and I created a page that I truly enjoy and hope you do, too!
The ABC Art Journal Series “U” page is here! This page is made with pretty much only collage and acrylic paint, but I really like how it came out. Hope you like it, too! Remember, new videos will be forthcoming every Sunday until at least the middle of October (that’s when my stash of videos runs dry, so hopefully I can get some new stuff made and recorded)!
I am starting to film some of my 5 minute art journal pages as they’re quick to make, quick to edit, and will give me plenty of footage to get out to you all while I’m in school! This page couldn’t have been much simpler. It was made using Dylusions (in Squeezed Orange, Lemon Zest, Pure Sunshine, and London Blue), Heidi Swapp Colorshine (in Black Velvet), 2 stencils, and a silver Sharpie Paint Pen. This is proof that you CAN find time to art journal if you want to! Hope you enjoy it!
