Art Journal Online - Art Journaling by Artist Monika Schmid


~ Art Supplies used


Art Supplies:


Different collage materials
handcarved stamp
acrylic paints
re-inkers
calender pages,
Stabilo marks all pencil
sand paper.

I started by collaging different pictures to to the pages and using reinkers over it. Not happy with the outcome I toned it down with some white paint then sanded parts back to reveal more of the pictures below.

The whole spread took on a chinese feel, I wanted to collage a lotus flower but couldn't find the picture so decided to try and paint one instead.

The words in the petals were from book pages and inspired by Milliande's technique.

Thank you for submitting your art journal page


~ I enjoy the soft petalled layers of your flower and the way it leans from one art journal page to another.. for me there is a cetain feel of a flower supported by its surroundings... the green spirals reaching out to pave the way for what is to come...



thanks for sharing, happy art journaling
