I Want to express, art journaling with Dina Wakley Media

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ~Aristotle 
Create a piece of art that shares with us your “why.” Why do you create? What compels you? A new challenge on the Ranger Ink Blog

I create because I want to express my feelings and emotions through my art. There's a need in me to do this everyday, to try new things and challenge myself!

 I used her awesome mixed media journal to create a page using DWM paints and stencils. The pages in Dina's journal are scrumptious weather you use watercolors or acrylics the paper is ready!

I started by applying ocean, turquoise and white with a brayer

Then I added different Stencils words, Viney and scribble faces. You'll notice that I flipped it and made a full face. I love the expression in her eyes

Here are the challenge rules!
Challenge Rules:

• You can make anything you like—a card, an art journal page, a tag, a canvas, anything!
• Interpret each challenge any way you like. You can be literal or you can use it as a springboard and see where it takes you. Let the challenge inspire you and stretch you. 
• Try to journal on your piece. Write your thoughts about each prompt. You can write a little or you can write a lot, but do your best to incorporate your thoughts and feelings into the piece.
