FREE Digital Art Papers for Art Journals and Creative Projects - April

 

Welcome to the FREE Digital Art Papers for April.  Every month on my FREE Patreon Tier I release a new set of papers for you to use in your Art Journals and creative projects.

I just released the first project from the April Papers which you can check out on the Free Tier of Patreon - HERE

Here is what I created with the March Papers

Here are some of the other things created with the papers, mixed media tags, art dolls and additional imagery that can be used in other creative projects.

I inserted these art dolls in between dyed tea bags and slow stitched on them creating additional designs and looks.

Why don't you join us on the FREE Patreon Tier and get your monthly digital art papers so that you can use them in your art journals and creative projects, and get those creative juices flowing.

Creating Faces - Mixed Media Art, FREE Background papers

Creating a Face: Transforming Free Papers into Unique Art

I had so much fun working on this page! There’s something special about taking existing materials and making them entirely your own.

For this piece, I started with the papers from the FREE Tier and reworked them.

These papers are designed to be versatile -you can use them as they are, or you can completely transform them by layering, painting, or experimenting with mixed media techniques.

Ways to Make These Papers Your Own

If you're looking for ways to customize them, here are some ideas to spark your creativity:

Paint Over It – Add washes of color, bold brushstrokes, or subtle shading to shift the mood and texture of the paper.  You can also do some mark making on the papers as well - or even some stitching.

Working with Background Papers

One of the things I love about working with the background papers is that they serve as a great starting point for your creativity. Whether you follow their existing designs or completely change them, the creative process is all about making it your own.

If you’ve used the free papers in your work, I’d love to see what you’ve created! Let me know in the comments - how do you like to alter and personalize your materials?

Access the papers for FREE on my Patron Page.
