An art journal page doesn’t have to happen all at once. Truly, there are no rules when it comes to art journaling and play. A few weeks ago I stenciled the heart with paint and let it be until I had a stack of PanPastels out on my counter that were whispering to me.
I love playing with PanPastels because they are so forgiving. That means no pressure to make it perfect since it is all blendable. You’ll see what I mean in the video…and you know there will be an Oops in there that turned out to be just what I needed…
Watch Using PanPastels with Stencils in an Art Journal on YouTube.
To seal the PanPastels so they don’t smear, I use the Gelli Plate to apply a coat of gel medium. You can see how I do that in February’s Colorful Gelli Print Party.
Supplies Used
- Words to Live By stencil
- Heart stencil
- Heavy Bodied Titanium White Paint
- Black Stabilo pencil
- PanPastels

Love all you high tech tools! I think I even have those!! Again, such a delightful moment in my day when I watch your videos!!
Super heart!!! I have yet to try the pan pastels …but they are on my to do list 🙂
Beautiful page, the heart is lovely.
Enjoyed your fun simple page!
just saying hello.. like it says to do from time to time.. on the YT channel.. 🙂 I am feeding the MUSE Carolyn!! 🙂
like the ledger underneath, panpastels look fun, need to put them on my wishlist.
We’re a group of volunteers and opening a new scheme in
our community. Your site provided us with valuable info to work on.
You’ve done a formidable job and our entire
community will be thankful to you.
Wonderful video to watch while I ate my breakfast.
I’ve recently started to use PanPastels and I really like them.
The cosmetic sponges were also a good find from another blog and are so easy to use and much cheaper than a “special tool”.
Thanks for the ideas that you give freely to your readers Carolyn!
What a gorgeous ledger to begin with, and a fabulous page you’ve created with your PPs!
I believe what you said was very logical. However, what about this?
what if you were to write a killer title? I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid., however suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention?
I mean A PanPastel Art Journal Page | Carolyn DubeCarolyn Dube is kinda vanilla.
You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create post headlines to grab viewers
to open the links. You might try adding a
video or a related pic or two to get people interested about everything’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little
livelier.
I think the admin of this web page is genuinely working hard in favor of his web site, as here every material is quality based
information.
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous
blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
