Art Journal Ideas: Using Ivy Newport's Color Flow for Stunning Pages

Art Journal Ideas: Using Ivy Newport's Color Flow for Stunning Pages

In this video tutorial, I dive into the vibrant world of Ivy Newport's Color Flow books to create a stunning two-page spread in one of my handmade Artisanal journals. Using high-quality watercolor paper, I start by laying down a beautiful watercolor base inspired by Newport's color palette. I then enhance the pages with intricate stencil work and mark-making in coordinating colors, bringing depth and texture to the spread. To add a touch of elegance, I finish off with gold accents, creating a cohesive and visually captivating piece. Join me as I guide you through each step, sharing tips and techniques for making your art journal pages come to life.

The dots put the perfect finish on the pages for me. Love the color palette for the featured pages as well as the previous pages. I’m fascinated by how you use your brush to spread the colors. Another mark in the win column (there are zero marks in the lose column, by the way). You are just my favorite YT artist.🥰

Another delightful color palette choice. It’s nice that we have so many options for finding color palettes. Happy to see the Kuretake gold mica paste make an appearance, too.

Well those are gorgeous! And I just get such a charge hanging out with you. I have people in Gaffney, and you just seem as down home as a beloved friend.😊 In fact I'm sure we'd be friends, because I am you!!❤ I adore your spunk and creativity. And your SC accent tbh!!😊

I love that colour palette and what you created! This is a definite to try

[TheLittleBeadingCloset]

I’m so excited to try my neo color II set that I got for my birthday and this will be a perfect way. Thank you as always. Hope you enjoy your deck. I wanted to share a beautiful and inspiring artist on YouTube with you to look because I really think you would appreciate what she does. Her name is Kendra Brazzel. Have a beautiful day.

I am so happy to see you working on whole pages instead of pieces cut into multiple parts. Both sets of spreads are delicious. And your color choices were spot on!

Great job, as always, Denise! LOVE those little ATC sized stencils - how awesome!

[susanorban]

Super pretty! Love the red dots and gold❤ love it all tho!🎉

[michellekrantz]

Well done! Thank you for clarifying this subject! ❤

I have to laugh, when your video started it showed the 2 pages you did first and I was so excited to watch you create it, when you fooled me with a new page and colors. Which I love both layouts. Really beautiful ❤, BTW, I went on the website for Ivy Newports book and she has cards now. I am excited to have ordered a new set of cards. ❤ I can not wait to see what this week holds on your creative journey. 🎉😊

Oh, btw, sometimes, when I see your thumbnail with the white leafy vine, I think that's part of your art design project and think it would look great if you really added some doodles like these onto your finished art piece. 😀

I love these colors. The first stencil you used on the left side reminds me of tire tracks like a little truck just ran across your painting. Love it. I hope you have a great week.😊

Love these colors - I would not have combined them but they look amazing! I’m going to try them💙

[allysonlane]

Absolutely love this color palette and the mark making added so much, thanks for always giving us such great inspiration Denise! ❤

[ErinEnoArt]

Gorgeous! I felt like it was a back to your roots session when you brought the gold paste out. I have been missing it😁
About that, do you scoop the unused gold back into the bottle? Or maybe you can rewet it since it states that it can be thinned with water to be used with dip pens?

[kathyappleby]

Love love love this.. the colours are great as is the composition! You make it look so easy! 😂

[crunchypickles]

I LOVE both spreads! I have to say the second is my favorite because I love those colors and textures together!!! 😍 It makes me think of under the sea 😍😍😍

[beccascraps]

Do you think ivy Newport’s book is worth the cost? It’s so expensive

[Barbara-fycs]

Great work. Her books and color cards are available at her website.
