T stands for Tutorial number two

Hello dear Elizabeth and all my friends at T stands for Tuesday.

I joined for 30 Days List in March and here are the finished pages from Day1-3

Week-10 Challenge at DLP was to make a list of things that describes you. I glued scraps of paper, painted them with water color and journaled about myself.I felt so good after doing this exercise. I think we must do a self- assessment once in a while to see where we stand in our life's journey  

The pencil sketches on the right is the list that I'm creating about my favorite art tools. I was doing it today morning. My favorites will be any kind of paper, paints(preferably bright colors) and brushes, black pen, glue and gesso. 

What are your favorite art supplies? I would love to know.

And Yes!Today I also wanted to share my second tutorial

A page done using a current favorite medium of mine, Gelatos.

  I got the above pack of Gelatos as a Christmas gift.

 For this tutorial I used the above Gelato colors (sorry, I missed yellow in the picture), Gesso, permanent stamper's ink, Heidi Swapp's chevron stencil, 2 stamps(the dragon fly is a handmade one made out of foam), willow charcoal and the color chestnut from Twinkling H2O'S

 Step:1 Cover the page with gesso. I added a liberal amount of it on the bottom half, and scraped it with the  edge of a spatula to give it more texture.

 Step:2 Once it got dry, I scribbled the page with different colors of Gelatos . From the top I used blue, red, orange, yellow,green and metallic green.

 Step:3 With a wet brush, I then spread the paint around.

Step:4  After it got dry, I applied gesso over the chevron stencil.

Step:5 Once the gesso got dry, with the gelatos I drew some circles as flowers , and also added  the stem and leaves. Next I spread the paint with a wet brush. Again with the chevron stencil I used permanent ink stamp and stenciled all over the page.

Step:6 Next I stamped the dragonfly on watercolor paper, colored it with Twinkling H20 (chestnut) and cut it and adhered it to the page. I used the heart stamp on a watercolor paper , added a quote, cut it and pasted it on the page.

Step:7 Finally I outlined the flowers and the edges of the page with a charcoal pencil.

Extra Notes:
* If you don't have Gelatos you can create a similar background using neo colors or watercolor pencils or just water color paints.
* Instead of charcoal you can also use a black water color pencil or crayon and with a wet brush create a smudge effect.

Hope you enjoyed the step by step process of creating this journal page. If you would like to try creating this page or something similar to this, please leave the link on my comment section I would like to come visit you.
