January 2026 Art Journal page

Welcome back to my studio! It’s been a long, long time, but I have intentions of populating this blog a bit more regularly. This image is the right side of the page.

I’ll be talking and showing different rusting techniques and how to achieve the look of rust in papers, chipboard and, of course, metal. Texture is the key and the color combos give it a realisticContinue reading “Mini Clipboard “Life is Art””
