Need of the Heart

Journaling is such a perfect way to focus on your life, to be more aware and present.

Art journals can be a place to celebrate beauty and joy, they are always very personal and today Tusia is sharing a piece of her self. :)

Hello :)

From the need of my heart I have created an art journal page you can see below. I started with covering my page with clear gesso to give it a tooth and to protect it. Then I glued pieces of newspapers and covered everything with a bit of white gesso.

I stamped images of birds and started adding colors using Gelatos from Faber-Castell (wet and dry techniques). 

All letters are misted with Luminarte Primary Elements pigment mixed with water. You can see the same misting on the background - partially done with stencil.

The final touch was stamping and drawing with black pencil.
