The World Needs Colour by Claire Stead

Hi everybody!  It’s Claire Stead and I’m here to share how I made my latest 2-page art journal spread.  It was fun to make it using my own Colourful World Artist Series pack!

 

  • I started by choosing to use my square watercolor journal.  I decided to embrace the colour on one page and contrast it by using black and white on the other side.
  • Next, I picked two images from my Colourful World pack.  I cut them to the same size to give my pages symmetry.
  • Starting with the colourful page, I used water soluble pigment sticks to add colour. I stencilled dots and marks over the top using a mark making stencil.
  • On the black and white side, I added black stripes down the page and sprinkled them with white dots.  Then I stapled black and white hearts (from the same pack) onto my page.
  • On both sides, I used double sided tape and staples to adhere the images.
  • Finally, I chose a quote (also from my Colourful World pack) to use as my title, and added it to the colourful side.  In contrast, I used a white pen and wrote “Not all black and white” on the other side.
  • That’s it!  This spread was so fun and easy to make!!

Claire used her very own pack to make her page:
