Exploring Art Deco
Step into my studio and explore with me the beautiful colours, textures and patterns of Art Deco. Inspired by my recent holiday to Napier, New Zealand, I use the photos I took, the papers I bought, and the vibrancy of the city to create a beautiful mixed media collage art journal page.
Be encouraged to create your own artwork, as I show you step by step how to create this beautiful collage as an art journal page.
It was also a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy this creative adventure in the studio with me, cheers Froyle
