In this video, I’m working in my art journal creating six different faces...then going back and painting each one separately to practice mixed media techniques one at a time.
This is one of my favorite ways to loosen up, experiment, and build confidence without the pressure of making a “finished” piece. Each face becomes its own little study in layering, mark making, texture, and color.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure what to practice next, this is a simple and powerful exercise you can try in your own sketchbook or journal.
In this video:
• Creating multiple faces
• Working back into each face individually
• Practicing layering techniques
• Exploring mark making
• Building texture in mixed media
• Letting each study evolve differently
Art journals are for experimenting, not performing. This is where growth happens.
