Creative Sketchbook

In this video we create decorative pages in a sketchbook as a form of mindful journalling. This is a great way to unwind and enjoy the creative process whilst exploring a variety of art materials.

Step 1

Start by using a gel plate to create coloured and textured backgrounds on your sketchbook pages. You can use stamps and stencils on your plate to add interest.

Step 2

Leave your painted pages to dry before adding the next layers.

Step 3

Begin to build up your design by adding pencil and marker patterns. You can trace around stamped images, incorporate writing and add a sketch or two. You can draw inspiration from nature or your surroundings.

Step 4

Use decorative papers to cut out various shapes and glue these onto your design.

Step 5

Add any final details with fine liners or pens
