Trace, Transfer, Transform – Online Workshop
Get ready to transform your art journal!
Join me as we explore different ways to trace and transfer images into your art journal pages. Tracing techniques provide many creative choices, and we’ll learn loose tracing techniques based on different image sources to give you a variety of options for your art journaling. The imperfect look of transferred photos can serve either as a building block of your layering process or as a stand alone focal point of a page. Not only are there many ways to actually trace or transfer images, there are also many ways to transform those images using paint, stamps and stencils in your art journal into something personal and unique.
