This is a demo video using some basic 'Visual Journalism 101' Techniques from one of my online workshops that I did for Strathmore Paper Co in their new line of Art Journals. Using collage, paint, stamps, journaling, doodling, shading and highlighting, it's easy to create fun and interesting journal pages.The journals can be found here http://www.strathmoreartist.com/visual-journals-landing.html

Great Video! I got so much out of it and am ready to try out some of these ideas and make them my own. Thank you for sharing.
I’m new to the collage art. So I learned a lot that I could incorporate in my work. Layers! Also the layout of your presentation, with the completed piece on the right, and then showing the progression of collage work. Thanks.
I really enjoyed your demo. I am also new and it gave me lots of ideas to incorporate in my Journal. Thanks Pam

Very helpful video. Thanks.
Love this video!! I learned so much in 13+ minutes and I know I will use this for reference in the future. Thanks, Pam!
I loved this…I need advice on the proper medium to use in collaging old watercolor paintings , adding additional leaves in a large rose “collage painting” ..without losing or smearing the origional work, as I have several beautifully rendered roses, but messed a few up, so would like to salvage the good parts and even enlarge it into a larger work. It was origionaly painted in WC on a block of WC Arches paper. I have had so many compliments on three of the origional roses, so I would really like to learn how to do it, without ruining what I want to save out of that painting. ( Too bad I used 140 lb. instead of 300 lb. which could probably be scrubbed and thus save the first painting.) You make it look like fun. Thanks, Evelyn
Evelyn a couple of things come to mind for using watercolor paper in collage. First I’d scan them and that allows you to print the images and use the prints for collage. You can resize them that way too. Second if you want to collage on top of the original work, I’d apply a thin coat of Mixed Media Adhesive with a sponge brush going in one direction and only making on pass over the work, you don’t want to reactivate the watercolor by over working on top of it. Let this dry and it will both prep and seal the surface for whatever you want to do for your next layers, including adding more water soluble media on top. Hope this helps

What kind of pencil do you use for the shading? I’ve tried several kinds and can’t get the nice smudged effect you do.
