ART JOURNALING
Looking for a new home
This mixed media mini art journal page was created with transparent acrylic paints, gesso, watercolor, doodling and paper collage. To see how I made this layout, click the link to Youtube timelapse video tutorial at the end of this page.

HOW TO MAKE THIS ART JOURNAL PAGE
I started with doodling the houses, then I painted the backround and added rest of the details. Remember to let the paint and gesso splatters dry completely before using markers! Clean your stencil and the sponge dauber immediately after use with warm water.
