Hello friends!
Autumn is upon us, with the leaves gradually changing their colors to lovely warm yellows and reds. The days are getting shorter and there is a chill in the air in the mornings. I appreciate the last golden rays of sunlight that we get!
This fall season has inspired me to create this leaf-themed art journal spread 🍂
I am sharing a free tutorial over on You Tube:
In this video I am having fun with various types of mixed media techniques: dry brushing, stencilling, stamping, collage and drawing/illustrating. While it's not difficult to create this spread, some drawing experience would be helpful. I used graphite pencils in HB/4B/6B, as I find this tool is accessible to most. All of the supplies are listed in the video description.
I chose one of my favorite Autumn quotes by Albert Camus and stamped this onto paper scraps with my silcone alphabet stamp set. Be warned - It takes quite a while to stamp, cut and glue onto the page :)
For her "hair" a simple leaf-shaped stamp works best. Just make sure it's a single leaf without any branches etc.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Happy Autumn 🍁🎃
