Art is good for the Soul

Art Card with Collage

Hello everyone!

Numerous studies prove that art and creativity have a positive impact on health and can help process experiences that are too difficult to put into words. Making art is comforting, and  like many others I feel it's more about the process than the result. These past few weeks I've spent lots of time in my studio making a variety of art. As I've mentioned previously, I'm not set on one specific style. The card at the top of this post is made with bits of leftover paper scraps, white gesso and a focal image.

The loose portraits above are done with gouache and colored pencils. I painted the flowers with aqua markers and fine liners.

I used distress inks to create the soft background in the art journal page above. Then layered with a few stamps and a stamped butterfly image.

And I've finally uploaded a video tutorial! The artwork below has lots of yummy layers and cool effects done with stencil paste and inks.
