I created this digi page in ArtRage and Procreate on the IPad. I imported the text/words and added lots of layers to blend it all together. I use the Sensu Brush and love it!
Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 8:36AM I am still practicing my mad digital skills on the IPad...Ha! Ha! It is starting to feel more comfortable and I am getting used to the brushes and settings. I feel a new line of Paperbag Studios mixed media rubber stamps coming on!! For this simple page I used Procreate and ArtRage. Still haven't decided which one is my favorite yet. See those cool splatters? Those are available as an add-on in Procreate. I would LOVE to see those added in ArtRage! Have you given digi a try on the IPad? What are your favorite applications?
Also, I am in LOVE with the Sensu Brush & Stylus! It is a quality brush and stylus in one. I like being able to flip back-and-forth between the stylus tip and brush tip and I am amazed at how natural the brush tip feels.
Have a blessed day!

art journal, art journaling, journaling, robenmarie, video in art journals, videos Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 6:15PM Sometimes a change of direction is necessary. I began working on this journal page and felt a bit frustrated at how it was progressing. I began with stencils, ink, paint, and collaged papers. I ended up adding a layer of gesso when I wasn't happy with the direction of the page and then decided to sketch a face. I like the bits of paper peeking through and am glad I wasn't afraid to cover up the layers and keep working.
Have a blessed day!
First two layers included acrylic paint, spray inks, stencils and doodles.
Next, I added more acrylic, pencils, oil pastels and then papers and gesso.
I covered the page with some white paint and began sketching this face with a Stabilo pencil.
For this layer I added more oil pastels, acrylic paint, and pencils.
I added more layers of acrylic paint, stenciling, rubber stamping, watercolor pencils and oil pastels.
Finished page is at the top of this post.

I have been working on a few things but I finished this art journal page today. I took pictures as I worked so you can see the process. I used gesso, oil pastels, spray inks, stencils, acrylic paints, washi tape, masking tape, pencils and pens, scrap papers, rubber stamps, staples and a cute little Instagram photo.
Have a blessed day!
