Under Camera Artwork | Art School Diary #5
This was a pretty easy going week. I got to try out a few of the workshops the art school has available. As well as finishing my model and learning more about the process of designing for the student magazine. UNDER CAMERA ARTWORK Last week I finished my model. Etching the design into acrylic using the laser cutters. This week I got my hands on a strip of LED lights to finish off my model. So with acrylic, you can shine light into the plastic.

Visiting London Graphics Centre | Art Supply Haul

I thought I would do a little art supply haul since I’ve only done stationery hauls up till now. AN ART SUPPLY HAUL DALERY ROWNEY GOUACHE I had to buy gouache for my course and I quickly came to realise that I hated using gouache. I’m not sure if it was down to me using the paint wrong or something else. Basically I didn’t like using it. But I’ve started watching an artist on youtube called SemiSkimmedMin, she uses gouache in all of her paintings…

How To Make A Mini Photo Album
A few weeks ago on my 4 Ideas For Instagram Photos post I promised to do a full tutorial for the mini photo album and here it is! One thing you should note is that I designed this book to be the right size for the photos I had (which was 2.5 inch square). If you have photos at a different size you can easily change the book to fit your photos or print your photos off in a size that will fit this book.
