One of my favorite things to do is mix traditional and digital art—starting with paint, paper, and messy hands, and then transforming the finished piece into something printable and reusable. In this video, I’m walking you through exactly how I do that.

I created this layered art journal page using acrylics, chalk, and a few of my go-to texture techniques (yes, even paper towels with cool patterns!). Once it felt finished, I snapped a quick photo and brought it into Photoshop to design a printable journal page that you can use daily.

This is perfect if you love mixed media art but also want to create something useful—like a digital download you can use again and again. You can grab a set of digital journal pages below the video for free!
