Palette and painting knives have been used forever for transferring paint to a surface.
Paint brushes are not the only paint application tool. So, a great idea would be to let those used wipes dry and later used them in your mixed media projects. The downside is that by using the wipes, you create paper waste. For example, put some acrylic paint on the page, cover the page with a stencil and then use the baby wipes to lift off the paint through the stencil. They can smear the paint really well due to their wetness.Īnother great idea is to use them with stencils. They’re wet, soft, and will create a similar soft effect as well. You can have an even paint surface by smearing paint with a baby wipe. We all have them in our homes and they’re perfect for paint-smudging. Painting with your fingers also gives you the freedom to paint any way you want and paint directly onto the paper.
It can be a lot of fun and finger-painting adds texture and interest to your journaling pages.Īlso, you can sometimes control the paint much better with your fingers than you can with a paintbrush. It might seem silly and childish but you should try painting with your fingers, too. The paint could also drip off and create an interesting effect on your page as you work.Īlso, always clean your brayer after you finish with painting because the paint will accumulate on the surface and then dry, making paint harder to pick up the next time you use it. Painting with a brayer often creates texture which is adored by most art journalers out there. It’s commonly used with acrylic paint, but if you’re feeling up to it, experiment with watercolors as well. The brayer is an excellent tool for painting and covering larger areas.
