Art Journal Spread – “You were made to be courageous” – 10-21-20

I created this spread in my Arteza Watercolor Sketchbook. This spread was very enjoyable to make. I used acrylic inks to paint my stamped images. This is something I had not tried before. I loved it. It is permanent so you don’t have to think about sealing it as you would watercolor or other water mediums. I hope you enjoy the video.
