Stamp Art Journal "Helena" Easy Mixed Media Art.

I love art journalling. In this process video, I take you step-by-step through the creation of "Helena" in this double page spread.  It's an opportunity to experiment and play with lots of messy textures, colours and techniques. My favourite part of this piece is the gold paint splattered in the background.
