Riikka Kovasin | Courage, adventurer - an art journal spread @RiikkaKovasin | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
A process video showing how I created an art journaling spread I titled "Courage, adventurer".
I start the process by making a couple of sheets with watercolors. I make a striped sheet along with a dotted one. I then combine the two to make a background for my spread and add some stamping and drawing on top. After I also add some sewing in the mix and then turn my attention to the layers coming on top. I use a vintage photo die cut as my focal point. I paint the photo with clear gesso so I can color it with watercolors. I use different ephemera to add details and finish the page. As a finishing touch I add journaling using text stickers both in English and Finnish.
Thank you so much for watching!
