Welcome to my art blog. Join me in exploring art through drawing, painting, art journaling and mixed media; Using different tools, supplies and techniques; And finding inspiration.
Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is having a great week. My week is going well. This week I have an art journal page I created in my new Dina Wakley Mixed Media Journal. I love the different papers and fabric in this journal. I decided to use one of the burlap pages. I first used a pallet knife to swipe gesso on the burlap and then used ink sprays to color the gesso. I then cut our stamped images of butterflies and flowers. I colored the butterflies and flower stamps with watercolor pens. I stamped some flowers on the page for a background and then glued the butterflies and flowers to it. I found a quote in my stash that says "Out of difficulties grow miracles" by Jean De La Bruyere. I glued the quote, with a few scrap of printed papers, to the page. I used a Winka Stella pen on the butterfly wings to give them some shimmer and finish the page. Here is a picture of the page I created.
And here is the video I made showing how I created this page.
I really like the way this page turned out and am looking forward to creating more art journal pages in this new journal. Thank you for stopping by and watching my video. Until next time, Happy Creating.
Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is having a good week. My week is going good. I recently purchased the Tim Holtz Tonic Studio Media Mat and also purchased the Tonic card making kit along with it and created a card using the kit. Here is a picture of the card I created.
And here is a video showing how I created this card.
I really like the way this card turned out and it was fun to make. Thank you for stopping by and watching my video. Until next time, happy creating.
Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is having a good week. My week is going well. This week I have another portfolio I created for my watercolor paintings. I used packaging that I received a shipment in, like before, however this time I decided to use napkins to cover the outside of it using gesso. I then used Inktense blocks to color it and then stamped some butterflies on the outside. I used some ribbon as a closure. Here is a picture of the portfolio I created.
And here is a video showing how I created this second portfolio.
I really like these portfolios and can't wait to fill them up. I hope everyone has a great week. Thanks for stopping by. Until next time, Happy Creating.
Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is having a good week. My week has been going well. This week I have a lion that I drew on a watercolor background and then colored it with watercolor pens. Here is a picture of the lion I created.
And here is a video showing how I drew the lion.
I struggled with drawing this lion and still not 100% happy with it, but I decided it was good enough. All and all I am having fun drawing these animals on the watercolor backgrounds I created some time ago and thinking about creating more. Thank you for stopping by and watching my video. Until next time, Happy Creating.
