Riikka Kovasin | The Young Magician - an art journal spread @RiikkaKovasin | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
A process video showing me create an art journal spread inspired by some sticker sheets from Finnish shop Mimmilä. I named the spread "The young magician".
I start by adding color to my to-be background. I'm using wet on wet technique with watercolors, first wetting the paper and then adding colors on top. I use the same color scheme that's on the hairdo of the sticker I'm including later. While the watercolors dry, I turn my attention to another piece of cardstock. I paint it using two acrylic paints and use the paints to add some swirls to the surface also. I then add some pale splashes to the background and silver wax to the dark piece, highlighting the texture. I then cut the background sheet to fit inside my journal. I add some stamping to the background to add some contrast and then mount the lady in place. I use the dark, slightly textured piece to conjure a robe for her and use a die cut moon and several stickers to adorn the page. I use some text stickers to make up the journaling for the spread and finish the piece with some paint marker doodles.
Thank you for watching!
