it's Keren Tamir here and welcome today I'm going to be creating an hour journal
page and I'm going to be creating it in this journal this is one of the new
journals from Michaels that are being sold exclusively at Michaels
it's a canvas our journal book and it comes with two types of pages it comes
with the canvas page which is like what I worked on here and then it also came
with some pocket pages but you can insert your own oh maybe I have it
upside down sorry and they open up and you just insert your our journal page if
you work let's say on paper or on some other medium so you can do that and
today I'm going to be creating and put it on the canvas because it's really fun
to work on canvas and this canvas is untreated there is nothing on it but the
nice thing that you can do is you can I work with impasto paints and because
they're so thick you don't really need to prep this as much I'm not going to be
doing a painting I'm going to doing I'm gonna be doing mixed-media which is
really easy to have it unprepped so I'm going to separate this it's so easy to
just take out and then you have in your car you have it outside of your journal
and you can work on a flat surface
so I'm going to put this here and I'm going to just have this one which is the
one we're making as a reference I'm thinking though today to use other
colors I am always going with blues and greens so I think to just make it a
little bit different I'm going to be using other colors now just to talk a
little bit about the impasto panes there are acrylic paints and they're
very very sick and you can dilute them with a little bit of water to make them
a little bit more liquidy this is a set that comes at michaels which comes with
the main colors which is yellow green blue white red and black not in that
order i think i have them out of order and i use the the blue the green and the
yellow and the white to create my my page however the impasto paints come
in a lot of different colors and these all these colors come separately not in
a kit like that and you can buy them separately in different also in
brick-and-mortar stores so for example colors like these which are like pinks
and purples and there is this Jade color which is beautiful I mean they have
different name raspberry Heather Jade but I just left turquoise green
turquoise purple and pink and then there's of course black so I'm not sure
I'm going to kind of play around with things and see what where it takes me I
really wanted to use a little bit of the purplish and the blues and I might even
going through this one as well I really love this cobalt blue it's beautiful so
I just want to I just played around with it and one of the best ways to play
around with it is to have texture in the background so you can really see how
they work interact with each other so the first thing I did is I started
gluing some texture in the background so I used two things I used a little bit of
tape this is drywall tape and it comes in a tape and it's just basically you
can get it at any hardware store there's two different types there's one that
looks like a punching Ella and there is this one and I'm going to basically trim
it and cut it and it's a great way to create texture now you could use any
type of netting it is hard like plastic kind of like a net and this one has
already the stickiness underneath so all I'm going to do is just stick it on the
background then I'm going to take some lace now I think for the original I
might have only used lace but I just wanted to show you that you can use so
many different things now with lace obviously it doesn't have that
stickiness to it so you need to add some kind of medium to glue it up so what I
did is I used some gel medium minutes okay so I'm going to cut sizes different
size lace so what I want to do is I want to have the main longer area of the lace
to be longer in the center and shorter as it comes up towards the
Edge's that way it creates movement I also have a little bit of this ribbon so
you can use ribbon you can use lace you can use all different things let's see
what else we have here there is this one so it's just really nice to be able to
create texture with things and all you have to do is just glue it with some gel
so I'm just roughly placing the textured lace in different places and I am
covering and kind of overlapping them and it doesn't really matter if you do
that or not you could just overlap or leave it the same and then I'm going to
glue it more or less to the background I mean I'm sure you have lots of lace and
prima has lots of beautiful lace I truthfully looked for it because I have
some but I could not find it I don't know I have a very messy room right now
and I can't find anything so this is the reason why I couldn't find the lace okay
so I think this is good I don't want to overdo it I don't want to put too too
much so this is enough for that and then I'm gonna take this soft gel now there
are basics coming both gloss and matte and I'm sure you know that and the one
from Michaels it's the gloss one that comes in the set I like I don't mind
using either one I like the soft one to be able to stick the lace onto this and
I'm going to use my silicone brush which is a very well used silicone brush and
glue it to the background now you could fly straight to the background or you
could just put it on your mat and then apply it make sure you seal the lace as
well so it's a good idea to put like the gel on top as well because that way it
really seals it to the background now this will be a little bit glossy but
since the impasto paint is not as glossy it will kind of cover it up I am going
to put some clear gesso as well on top because I want to make sure that it's
not as glossy I don't actually like a lot of gloss I prefer things to be matte
and I tend to use the matte gel more but just for these purposes I wanted to use
the ones from Michaels so that's why I went ahead and use this
but you could use soft the matte gel as well you don't have to use the gloss one
them and it's not going to look exactly the same no two mixed-media pages are
alike I try to recreate the same thing but you don't always have the same
materials you might not stick them in the same order or have the same design
or even the same colors so I like that things are different I like when my
pages turn differently and that's the way what what I like about our
journaling and I can talk while I'm gluing is that what I like so much about
it is that it really lets me express my emotion in a small piece of art so doing
a canvas is a very large piece of art I mean depending on obviously the size but
it's a lot of more working with an art journal you can experiment you can try
different things and see if they work and see how they react with each other
depending on the mediums and it's a huge way of being able to test things without
having to to waste a lot of material or a lot of a lot of paper or a lot of you
know lace because I'm just basically doing it on a small piece of on a small
surface area so what I love about our journaling is number one is that you can
you can go ahead and use a small surface and get a lot done and try things and
experiment the other thing I love about our journaling is that it really relaxes
me when I work in creating in general like it really helps me to relax
so art journaling is almost like a diary you're actually expressing your emotions
through art and that's basically what we all love to do so there's a great thing
I actually had a video on my youtube channel where I spoke about the
different reasons why I like are generally there were ten different
reasons and these were only the ones I mentioned today are only two of those
reasons but I just really wanted to express how much I loved our journaling
how much I loved art and that really helps if you can go back
and see the one that I made about there ten reasons why I love art or art
journaling so I'm almost done gluing the last bit of it and you see I'm really
using a generous amount I'm trying to use as much as I can because I want to
make sure that it sticks to the background you don't want it to starts
lifting up halfway through so I really do put a lot and that's okay don't worry
it's better to put more than to take that had not have things sticky like you
know sticking out and coming off your page of course you can always add it a
little bit at a time you don't have to add it all at once but just to make sure
that it all sticks together so as you can see here I have the longer part in
the middle and then shorter ones going across so you need to heat set this
really well it's important to heat set this part so you make sure that
everything is dry and it doesn't take that long it doesn't take that long to
dry especially the soft gel is quite quick so it's really good to have this
this way so as you can see I mean I don't have to have it fully fully dry
but just to make sure that things are not moving so I sometimes touch it and
see it doesn't come off then that means it's dry enough that I can put the next
medium on I recently did in our journal page where I did this as well but
instead of using canvas I stuck the lace on regular watercolor paper and it
turned out just as beautiful and just it worked just as well it's a really great
technique for adding texture and right now it looks weird but once you add
color and make this all uniform you will really see the difference and you could
use any type of thing you could use cheesecloth this is cheesecloth you
could use this to adhere to the page as well you could use flowers basically
anything goes I find a glossy gel a little bit more sticky than the matte
one so that's why sometimes I prefer using the matte over the glossy one
because it takes a little bit longer to I don't know if it's too dry but
definitely when you touch it feels more sticky for the next step I
want to add some gesso and where did I put it oh there it is
so this is heavy white gesso now you could definitely add clear gesso as well
or black if you're gonna use metallic colors but I offered to use white zetsu
because I wanted the lace to have an even coat so basically you see how here
there's pink and there's brown and there's beige and white so if you put
the gesso you will get everything to look the same and that's what I wanted
to achieve I wanted everything to look the same you know I didn't want it to
have different colors and if you added a clear gesso you will still have those
different colors so I'm adding a small layer a thin layer I meant to say of the
gesso now you could definitely cover everything if you want to so I could
cover the whole page with this and that way you also have it prepped for the
impact of paints however the impasto paints are so thick that they don't
truthfully need a layer underneath oh I find that they don't it's my opinion
about that but I will do it just so you can see the difference because it gives
it a nice base to everything so just so in general could give you a nice base
and Prima cells not only the small one small tubs like this but it also sells
just so in the 8-ounce and some of them even come in 17 ounces jars so as you
can as you may guess I have a lot of gesso at home and I end up using it
quite often so I have big jars of it as well so you see when you cover this it
covers the color it covers and makes everything and makes everything even and
the nice thing about Jeff so it dries really fast this gesso is particularly
heavy meaning that it's quite thick so it gives a really good coverage you
don't usually need to do more than one layer unless you're really covering a
large space and you miss some places usually a one layer is enough it's
basically just a primer or base for everything and it's really fun to work
can a canvas surface I mean I do it a lot in big canvases that are stretched
but the canvas itself gives a really nice texture to the background it has
those ridges so it really looks nice I'm going to dry this as well and then we'll
add the color now gesso dries really fast so you'll see compared to the gel I
barely have to use any heat to dry it it's basically the edges are almost dry
and then just the center needs to be dry a little bit more just because there's
more in the center and also the lace is wet it becomes wet when you add mediums
so it's good to give it exist dry and it doesn't really matter if you miss some
places because you're going to put the paint on top so it's not a big deal so I
like to recycle a lot I like using things from my house and use things that
are available to everyone and lace cheese cloth or even tapes are really
easy to use for everybody so look on your house and see what you can find
that you could add texture and a deer to your pages okay so for the next step I'm
going to start adding the paints now as I said I think I'm going to go with a
little bit of a different color scheme but I will show you the the two of them
I'm going to do the same thing in both I just want to show you the technique and
not so much the color so don't get stuck on the colors just mainly look at the
techniques I really love using some different colors in my pages I don't
want everything to look the same so for this I'm going to be using first this
color and I'm going to add it here because what I want is I want to kind of
have and almost like a dry brush technique you want to get those textures
first and I'm going to add all three colors here because it's just easier
that way so the blue and the purple so it will look a little bit different than
the other one and once you have them on your mat then you're not worried that
your cross contaminating you can just go from one to the other
and and add the layers and other layers of color so the nice thing to do is to
mix the colors around in the background you don't want them all to be either in
the center or on the sides you want to kind of move around with the color I am
going in this direction which is the horizontal direction when I'm applying
it now I'm going to do that a little bit darker color which is the blue and
always do your dark colors last only because they are the darkest and it's
hard to cover them later on I love this combination of colors but now I can go
back and when they start combining together they look beautiful and the
Blues combine with each other and they take up a form of their own type thing
now applying it in the opposite direction I want to add some movement to
the mypage this is shouldn't be difficult this is really easy to just
basically add color to a background and it's nice when the colors start mixing
this look at this beautiful mix here of purple and blue so that's the key to it
and let me add a little bit more of this color because it's kind of missing now
in the background and look how thick they are how beautiful they start mixing
with each other this is basically a simple way of covering a page once you
have the texture now another thing you can do and I'll show you is that you can
add a little bit of water to the background and that helps blend click
sorry blend the colors together so just by wetting it a little bit it brings
that lightness to the to the paint so it makes it a little bit more liquidy and
you can definitely mix it better so you continue to apply things until you're
happy with the results so I want some more of this color here and if you want
to add more things but it everything is getting too
mismatched or too wet you can dry up you can dry the dry it up and then add the
color again I think I'm going to be doing that now it's too mixed already
and I can get the definition of each color so all you have to do is basically
dry out this layer just lightly dry it it doesn't have to be fully dry just dry
enough that the colors won't mix with each other this is a fin every texture
brush one side has texture on it that you could create texture by adding it to
the background or you could just paint regularly maybe they'll show you how it
works in a second okay so here I'll show you how this textured
brush work we can use it here in the corner as well it looks really cool that
way but here you can see another texture I'm going to turn it around and you can
create really nice texture in the background right by adding it this is
cool maybe I'll add some let's add some more
and some purple maybe and add some lines so how long I have to move this up a
little bit just to show you how cool it is I'll put all the links to everything
I'm going to upload this video to my youtube channel so I'm going to be
putting the links to everything as well and you can also go in the opposite
direction and there's a few different brushes actually oh there's this type so
you can own the so create texture so just to show you the different size it
comes in a set of brushes and it's just basically adding the color and kind of
blending it you want to blend you want to make sure everything blends together
that's when the colors become really beautiful when they're blended with each
other so I'm going to bring a little bit more of the purple over here so you
continue playing like this is important like don't stop because you think oh it
doesn't look as nice you see me continuing to play and this is why I
like I just continue continue continue until I'm happy and then I say okay I'm
stopping now it's really important to stop only when you're happy and don't
I mean don't all over but you have to stop when you think
you're happy it's not when others think you're happy but when you're think
you're happy and that's the most important thing so now happy and we're
good and all I'm going to do now is just dry this up because I want to add a
little bit of the white paint but if you can see here I'll show you this other
one I added a little bit of white but only after everything was dry and I'll
show you how I added this let me dry this first and then we'll add that ok so
that's good that's dry and now I'm going to add a little bit of the white impasto
paint and to do that I'm going to use the paintbrush again but this time I'm
going to do a dry brush technique and I'll show you what I mean by that so I'm
going to put a little bit here and why don't the technique that I did the lines
with is quite simple it's basically what I wanted to do is I
wanted to create a border around my canvas page and I started just fiddling
with it and it looked really good so what I started doing is I started doing
applying our dry brush technique through the edges not to do this you need to
have your brush or really dry and you need to work really fast that way it
creates those really nice ridges and I go turn our I turn the page around and I
just continue doing that so first I start with the edges so it kind of
creates a border around my artwork now I'm obsessive with borders I love
creating borders on our journal pages I talk about this a lot in my videos I
need to frame them look how beautiful this is looking with the ridges that I
created with the brush so I need to frame my my pages and the best way to do
that is to create a border another thing you can do with this white paint is that
kind of highlight some of the texture it will bring those really nice
embellishments embellished lace to the surface it brings out that texture and
you're able to see it much so between the ridges of the sari
between all that a texture that I made with the lace and the texture I made
with the brushes and then the texture that you have originally on the canvas
it picks up everything the white picks up all the different textures and it
looks really really cool and you can add it everywhere but really lightly like
I'm barely barely touching the surface of my of the canvas and I'm also using
it with a really dry technique so the paint has to be super super dry that
paintbrush has to be super super dry and also use very little paint so all those
things together and look at this is this is the texture from the tape that I
added now another way that I did is I actually added kind of these lines and
that was just basically painting this way in that way I just went around it
added this and you can use different paintbrushes for that there's no science
to this but the dry brush technique is known it's like it's not something new
that I invented or anything like that I just think it adds a lot of texture and
a lot of beauty to anything and there you go like I mean I don't think I need
to add much more to this except for medium the focal point but see as you
can see I mean it turned out very different than the other not only in the
line to see added I think more lines I could do that as well just to show you I
think I added a lot more lines there but let me just wet the top of the brush and
just kind of create the lines now what those lines help with and I want to
explain why I did that it's because it helps Center everything it actually
helps draw your eye towards the center of the page which is
I wanted to do it's really important to draw your eye to the middle of the page
to where your focal point is going to be okay so I mean that's basically my
background and now I'm going to work on the focal point and what I did is for
the focal point I used these stamped images that are from one of the stamp
sets this is not sure what it's called but I'll list it below and I'll use the
stamp set to stamp some images on just a little piece of paper that's all I did
so I'm just going to add these to the center now I didn't stamp the circles
and I will stamp them now and the other thing that I did is a little I think a
little bit of this cool lace to say God like literally at the dollar store I
think or some something I'm not sure it's not really lace it's some kind of
actually I'm not even sure I use this one or did I use yeah it's fine I like I
like they're like there's all these fluffy ones I might want to use some
fluffy one instead maybe this one is the one that I use because it looks really
cool so my main point of this video is to add texture it's really important to
just have a lot of texture on things and that really makes everything pop up okay
I like that perfect so good and all I have to do is
just basically glue it with some gel now I will show you if I might cut some
circles as well but right now I just want to glue this first so it starts
drying so for this one all you have to do is just I mean you could do this on
your mat but I'm just doing it here okay this will dry clear so it's not a big
deal if it looked like that and then I can use the rest of it you just glue
this so there we go now these stamps stamp really well and I want to show you
how well they stamp I'm going to actually stamp the circles here and show
you how well they look so there's that and then I'll show you this how easy it
is to stamp with so here's my circle stamps I love the
two small ones and hold on I'm just getting the paper okay so this is really
easy you could even stamp it with your hands but you don't have to I have just
some archival ink any black ink would work just make sure that it's dry fat
that it dries fast so that way you can you can easily
it'll be quickly cut it and what did I do with my I can't find now my stamping
blocks so it'll be with my fingers so I'm literally grab this with my fingers
and I stamp and it's perfect even with my finger so I'm gonna do two
big ones so they're really high quality stamps I must say like the clear stamps
they really you don't I'm a really I'm not a good Stamper I actually do a
horrible job but truthfully they're so easy to stamp that you don't he you
never make a mistake and I didn't even put that much pressure on it so I really
like the fact that it's there's such high quality stamps and then you only
have to do is just cut this like you see because it's dying you can just cut it
really quickly and this already has a saying on it it says dare to spread your
wings so you don't even need to put out a sentiment if you don't want to so you
can just I mean I could have cut these in advance to save myself from cutting
on the show this is why I did the butterflies I just never had enough time
to cut the circles but I figured the circles won't take that long to cut so
that's why I added them here so there's one and here's the other and then one
year once you're done all you have to do is just pop this page back into the
journal and you're done and it's so quick so the yarn is from some dollar
store oh gosh I don't know and I got it so many years ago but I'm sure there
have it somewhere but all you want is you can do the same effect with some
cheesecloth you don't have to buy this specific yarn you can do the same effect
with cheesecloth and just fray the edges and
you will get that as well the same exact effect okay so let me glue these a
little bit and I'm just literally going straight from the pot you could add some
gel on top as well you can add other embellishments it doesn't have to be
butterflies I just love butterfly so that's why and let me just use the
leftover from here and this is already has so I think this smaller one has to
go at the edge okay so there we go so this is it I mean how much quicker can
this be it really is fast most of the time I was doing like besides painting
and adding the lace everything else was really quick and easy but this shouldn't
take you more than an hour to do including the cutting and the gluing and
the drying it really shouldn't take you more than an hour to do it and then all
you do is just pop this back into it so here is the one of the first one and
here's the second one so there you go I mean you can you can
look how many color combinations you could do there's so many nice impasto
paintings you could combine so many of them together so there's so many
companies you could add yellow red blue green purple and there's different
shades of the colors so I'm really excited for you two guys to try all the
different combinations and the try the impasto paints and see how you like them
because they give a really good coverage and you don't have to add a lot of it so
thank you so so much for joining me today if you like my video please give
it a thumbs up and share it with your friends on social media please share
it's really important for both prima and for myself to have everything shared
everywhere so people can learn and experiment and and just love the
products so thank you so much and have an amazing day
