Create a stunning, layered canvas as part of a series or as a stand-alone piece while simultaneously working on a matching art journal page. In Tandem Techniques, mixed-media artist Jodi Ohl guides viewers through her expressive, time-saving techniques of working on two types of art simultaneously-a large painting and an art journal spread. Beginning with a lesson in creating a layered background on a wood panel, Jodi then demonstrates how to make the most of excess paint and collage materials by adding it to a new art journal page. Jodi then teaches viewers how to create a pleasing composition on the painting and bring it to completion while also using it as inspiration to finish the art journal spread. Viewers will learn techniques such as glazing, stencilling, stamping, creating graffiti-style marks, sgraffito and more.
