Let's make some abstract bookmarks! So this is a really easy but also fun and challenging creative exercise. Challenging because you are working on a really small piece and working with as many colours as you can muster to make these abstract bookmarks. And of course the other benefit of these is that they are functional art too as you can use…
The world has been turned upside down and a lot of really messed up stuff is happening. But there is a lot of good stuff happening too so I wanted to share some of the arty-related good stuff in a creative resources link list and I hope that you are in a situation where it can help you. I hope to…
I have a new, fun, abstract faces exercise for you today and all you need for this one is some paint and some pens, oh and paper too! So keeping it simple again, just like we did for the creative exercise from the weekend. How did you get on with that Scribble exercise? I hope you had fun scribbling away and I…
Hello Amazing Creative, I hope that you are ok, managing to cope with everything that is going on as best you can. I have a really simple creative exercise today to help you take your mind off of things and even if you are finding it hard to create at the moment I hope that it will help you ease yourself in…
I am doing 6 abstracts in one go today and also in one plan so that you can see then grow all together. It is a fun exercise to do so have a go! So last week I used a three colour combo exercise in my mini abstracting but this week it is more about doing a few projects in one go…
What can you do with three colours? Well quite a lot including today's three colours mini abstract exercise. It is a great exercise for just playing and letting yourself try out new things or for getting to know some old things that you might not have used for a while! So pick your three colours and grab your paints and lets get…
This week I have another idea to help get you past your new art page blocks. It is a block colour method and it's a great way to get you started on a page. Now if you remember back to last week... Eeek! I don't mean last week because I skipped a week on my channel - sorry! No I actually mean…
Art isn't always easy is it? We sometimes can't start and I've been going through that a bit, so here is one of my ways to get past my art blocks. Easy journaling, with some of my favourite motifs, is one of the ways that I get through these times. So I am sharing some easy journaling in my video today and…
Mini-doodles on coloured backgrounds is like one of my go-to creative tricks for creating when I am in a hurry and don't have much time, or for those moments when I am actually feeling not that creative. And I have been having both of those art-troubles this week so I have a watercolour paint and pen doodle to share with you today.…
We all want to make fearless mixed media art but I know that we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make 'beautiful' things, eye-pleasing art, can't we? But you know me, I love to creative play and not all creative play has to be 'beautiful'. All it really needs to be is free, experimental, and fun! So in my…
Welcome to a New Year and some New year mixed media art! I thought I would kick this year off with another layered, abstract, hopefully relaxing page from my junk journal. I did this page the same time as last week's page so spot that lovely mint color again! So let me know what art you are focusing on this year and…
