Sometime in my painting process, when I make my mixed media pieces, like art journal pages or the other pieces that I do, I can get to a point when I don't want to add another layer. Do you know what I mean? I don't feel the piece is finished but I'm scared to add another layer in case I mess it…
Today I thought we could have a play with the whole art journal or mixed media project making process and turn it on it's head! Reverse it! Make the page backwards! Ok, so what I really mean is let's just start with the focal image and see how we can make the art from there. What steps will we need to do…

If you still haven't tried Paper doodling then maybe my three paper doodling projects this week will get you cutting!

This week I am also doodling and I have a new doodle creative exercise to share with you that I am…
Doodling is very much on my mind again this week and I have a watercolor and ink doodle to share with you this time in my weekly art week. If you missed it last week I was using acrylic paint and soft pastels to make a doodle. But you know how much I like to mix up my media! So this week…
I thought I would break out the soft pastels for today's pastel doodle project. Do you use them? They aren't the first coloring material that I usually reach for but I thought it would be fun play with them and see what I could do. I am using them with acrylic paint so I have some tips on how to use paper…
I love messy art! I think it is totally part of the process and has so many important uses for us as artists. But I also know that messy art can be frustrating sometimes and we might end up feeling that we have gone too far and need to ditch the art or recycle it. If you have gone through this too…
I decided to get my gel plate out to make some gel printed greeting cards. But these are gel printed greeting cards with a difference! So if you are looking for something unique that adds that little extra special experience for the recipient of the card then have a go at some double sided printing! I know, right?!
