Today I thought we could have a play with the whole art journal or mixed media project making process and turn it on it's head! Reverse it! Make the page backwards! Ok so what I really mean is let's just start with the focal image and see how we can make the art from there. What steps will we need to do and how can we build the piece with an image in mind but not the final project in mind?

Intrigued? Then watch the video, try it yourself and share the results with me over on social media, I am @kimdellow in instagram btw!
