Art Journal: Marks

/2020/03/art-journal-marks/images/2020030401.jpg

Yesterday, I challenged the members of the Micro Art Journaling FB group to practice mark making. That was the inspiration for this layout in my tiny art journal.

I began with a Carbon Black, Liquatex marker. I made marks around the pages to create a kind of frame.

Next, I used Medium Magenta, Brilliant Purple and Light Blue Permanent, Liquatex markers to add scribbles of color to the pages.

I keep a container of small-to-tiny scraps of paper. I grabbed it and looked through to find pieces that had black and white markings, and anything with similar colors. I used Liquatex Matte Medium to glue these to the page.

The next step was to use the same markers and some Titanium White Liquatex Basics to blend everything together.

I found a stencil to use for the focal point. I used a makeup sponge and Mars Black Liquatex Basics to add it to the page.

The small journaling was added with a Sakura Pigma Micron PN.

This came together quickly, in about thirty minutes, because I didn’t spend a lot of time worrying about making everything “perfect”… just “Perfectly Me!”
