I’ve done this a lot in my art journals over the years. I first learned it from Willowing classes. I think she called it negative imaging. Fun!

Beautiful spread Martha. Really enjoyed the technique. Happy crafting 💕

LOVE THIS PAGE! I’ve never seen this technique used before. TYFS.

[@madebymartha]

So happy you enjoyed it! Again, I’m sorry I missed your comment until now - I do try to answer all the comments but somehow I missed yours❤️

[@susiecramer2524]

It’s fun to watch your process with the layering.

[@madebymartha]

So glad you enjoyed it!

At the beginning I was thinking “I don’t know…” but it turned out beautifully! Thank you for showing this technique

[@madebymartha]

I’m glad you liked it in the end! This is a good technique to use on a very busy background or one that we would call a hot mess. I forgot to mention in the video that you can use any color on the background. Sometimes black is very effective too.

Never heard of or seen this technique. Love it 🤩

[@madebymartha]

Glad you like it! I forgot to say in the video that you can also use a dark color to cover most of the page. I’ve done that before, and it can also be very effective.

Negative painting to bring out your image

Suggestion: tell yourself another thing.
“ I can draw. Drawing has been dormant for me but now I can draw beautifully.”
(To me, while watching your videos, you seem very courageous with your inventive techniques. Maybe apply that courage to a new skill!)

[@madebymartha]

Thanks for the idea! I know with some effort I could learn to improve my drawing skills, but so far, I haven’t been willing to make the effort 😬Just lately though I have been thinking that I would like to expand my skills 💖

[@sarifink]

[@madebymartha]

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. The bird stencil is from Stencil Girl products - it a Gwen Lafleur stencil❤️
