In this video, Louise demonstrates 12 different quick and easy mark-making techniques.

The techniques demonstrated were developed specifically for painting large amounts of paper for a sea and sky handmade journal. And so are suitable for large papers and for the speedy production of many different papers for a beautifully handcrafted journal. There will be the full demo of the completed journal presented in a video but there is also the small sketch sea and sky journal already uploaded, this is the link to that demo;-

The demo gives you the permission to paint with whatever you have to hand and Louise uses kitchen equipment, glasses, a silicone basting brush and nylon vegetable netting. Really it is up to your own imagination to think of things that you can use to apply colour to a surface in whatever way you see fit, ENJOY.

Please also have a look at my shop and website at www.louisejannetta.co.uk

You can visit the working studio which is open every Saturday from 10 am to 4.30 pm or by appointment at your convenience. Please always ring in advance to avoid any disappointment.
