Why This Journal Format Works for Gel Prints
One of the best ways to grow as a collage artist is to practice composition without the pressure of creating finished artwork. In this video, I’m using my gel prints in an art journal to explore layering, color, balance, and intuitive composition. If you’ve been building a stash of gel printed papers and wondering what to do with them, journal collage is the perfect place to experiment, play, and develop your artistic eye. This process is relaxed, intuitive, and beginner friendly — but also a great creative exercise for experienced artists looking to loosen up and explore new ideas. Let this be your reminder that every print doesn’t need to become finished art. Sometimes the magic happens in the practice. 🎨 Learn with me: https://mixedmediamastery.com/ 📩 JOIN MY PAID MEMBERSHIP FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: / susancliftonartist 🖌 SHOP MY STENCILS & MASKS: https://susanclifton.com/stencils-mas...
