I've been playing with acrylic glazing liquid this week and for my video tutorial I've used glazing in a way you might not be used to seeing it being used. Usually glazing is used in the latter stages of a painting project to shift the colour of a piece or unify and harmonise it. In my art journal page I've used it early on in the process to bring my tinted gel and paint stencil element together with the some old book page texture. I've also used it as a base to add more colour to. You can see all about it in the video and see how this page started too.
It kind of looks Autumnal doesn't it? But it was never my intention to make an Autumnal art journal page but the start of the new season here in the UK must have had a bigger influence on me than I had thought! Do you find the seasons influencing your art when you least expect it? What seasonal projects have you been doing this week?
If you are wondering, the stencil is actually one I made myself and those of you that have popped into my blog or YouTube channel before would have seen it a few times. But if you haven't then you can find out how I made it in my Moroccan tile blog post.
