The beauty of art journaling is that it is your creativity when it comes to your art in whatever form you decide to take it :-) My husband, Steve, is an oil painter with a large following of dedicated collectors. But in a previous life (ie: before the computer) he was a sign artist and painter.
He still does beautiful handlettered work in one of his specialties, Goldleaf, and recently took one of my journals and began to play around with the cover. The results of the brilliant gold and the colors he chose to use can be seen (so much better in person!) below. He calls this "The Golden Forest"
On the back, he opted for silver-a metallic patina of which he is deciding whether or not to add any artwork. The metals are more than paper thin, so imperfections in the surface will be seen and can be used to one's advantage to create!
Keep an eye out for additional art that he will be creating using Gold and silver leaf. IN his lettering he uses the real thing 22 KT gold. In May we will hold a workshop at our studio where he'll share his tips and techniques for adding this beautiful look to your art!
