VIDEO: Painting On Fabric - A Mixed Media Rose

When was the last time that you were painting on fabric? I think for me it must have been a while ago. The closest was when I made that How To Emboss on Fabric video and then I used stamps so no painting on fabric was involved! But I did have this piece of denim left over after that session and I had already treated it with some gel medium through a stencil. So last week I decided that it needed to be painted on and here is how I did it!

If you want to see how that first gel medium layer catches the light then scroll on down to the photo!

VIDEO: What To Do With Leftover Paper Masks

22 July 201823 November 2018 Kim Dellow

a bright page made with Leftover Paper Masks by Kim Dellow

Get your sunglasses out! This is a little on the bright side! I’ve gone fluorescent for a change and I’ve used up those paper masks from last week’s Sunday art video. Now I wanted to do something different with this page so going bright against those paper masks seemed like a great way to change it all up! But fluorescent colors are so hard to capture in a photo, the project is even brighter in real life than I can get with these photos! Just turn up the saturation to get the idea!

Have fun playing with color and if you want to see a close-up of this page or find the supplies I have used, including the pencil, which is great for expressive drawing, then scroll on down!

VIDEO: Art Journal Inspiration - Two Pages For The Price Of One!

I have got two art journal inspiration pages for the price of one for you today! And I thought that for these two projects I would play with the images that I made for my Patrons over on Patreon. I’ve used lots of acrylic paint techniques to build these art journal pages and as I did them both at the same time you can can watch them grow together in the video! Have fun trying the techniques out in your next project. I hope that this art journal inspiration gives you lots of creative ideas to get you creating! And if you haven’t got these digital stamps yet, you can grab them over on my Patreon page, they are available for all the tiers even at the $1 level! So pop on over and take a look!

All the other things that I have used in these projects are listed below and there are close-up photos of both projects further down the blog post!

VIDEO: Easy Mixed Media Masks Revisited

15 July 201823 November 2018 Kim Dellow

It is time to get your spare pieces of paper out because today we are going to make some masks! I’ve got an art journal page to share and this one was started way back in March. If you saw my iridescent acrylic paint leaves video then you would have seen how this page started. I am continuing the page today, picking up from where I left off in that March video and finishing this page with a colorful abstract. And my favorite mask technique totally helped me get the page finished!

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure where this page was going to go, but I will let you watch the video to find out more! All the supplies are listed below and there is a close-up of the finished piece below too.

VIDEO: Easy Gelatos Background – Watercolor Techniques

11 July 201823 November 2018 Kim Dellow

I’ve got a little bit of watercolor fun with this lovely Gelatos background for you today! You can use Gelatos, and your other watersoluble crayons, in so many ways and I thought I would make this background by using water on the Gelatos directly, and I use several techniques to do this. So have fun watching me make a mess! Sorry – not a mess! A gorgeous Gelatos background of course!

I’m using one of my own digital stamps, it’s a Dahlia, I mean it was just so much fun using my new Patreon download that I thought I would print out one of my Etsy shop flowers, I haven’t used them in a while, so it was nice to play with them again!

There is a close up of this Gelatos background and the Dahlia too underneath the supplies list! So just scroll down to see it!

VIDEO: Easy Layering Acrylic Paint Techniques For Mixed Media Art

8 July 201823 November 2018 Kim Dellow

My Sunday art video this week is only short but it is packed with techniques! I’m sharing lots of easy layering techniques for using with your acrylic paints and I know, the project looks way too simple to have lots of different techniques doesn’t it? Well you know me, I love a bit of simple designing, I do lean towards clean and simple design again and again, I mean mixed media doesn’t have to be complex now does it? And simple doesn’t have to mean not full of ideas and techniques!

So I hope you catch all the easy layering techniques I share, don’t blink otherwise you might miss them! And if you are looking for the butterflies that I used on this project then go join my Patreon page to grab them and my tutorials and more art sharing too! You can join for as little as $1 ($1+EU tax if you are in the EU) and cancel or change your pledge as you need, did you know that?

There is a close-up piccy of the butterflies below and the supplies list too!

VIDEO: Turning Waking Art Into Real Art – Mixed Media Abstract Art

4 July 201824 November 2018 Kim Dellow

Have you ever woken up with a picture in your head of a project you really need to do? Well, this happened to me yesterday. I woke with a really clear image in my head, this waking art just popped into my head as I became aware of the new day and started to open my eyes. But it wasn’t just an image it was a feeling too, you know when you wake up and the images and feelings are all merged together as one? I couldn’t hold onto the feelings, they soon vanished back into the dream world, but the image was still there and I tried to turn it into something real and you can watch me do that in my video today.

It is a very mixed media piece with gouache and watercolor paint, acrylic ink and collage. So go grab a tea or coffee and watch my waking art turn into real art!

VIDEO: How To Use Your Acrylic Skin Shape – Gel Print Card

1 July 20181 July 2018 Kim Dellow

If you saw my Wednesday Art video this week then you will know that I promised you a project idea for your acrylic skin shapes! Have you made one yet? Or is that today’s project? Well, if you have made your acrylic skin shape or you are about to make it then here is a project idea for using it and also some tips on how to attach it to your project too. I only point this out because it isn’t always obvious how to actually stick the acrylic skin down as not everything will work, so watch the video and stick around to the end to find out more! Also in this video today I have some gel printing for you as I know how much you love it!

The supplies I have used are listed below and of course there is a close-up photo of the project too!

I am so curious to know and you know I would love to see so do share with me if you share it on social media and all of my links are at the end of this post on in the menu bar.

VIDEO: Travel Watercolor Set Tips – Cotman Mini Plus Palette Hack & Test Paint

24 June 201824 June 2018 Kim Dellow

I’ve been using a Sennelier Aqua mini watercolor set with my favourite colors in it as my travel palette for a couple of years now. It’s ok but it does have some flaws. But then recently I found a new palette and I thought I would share it with you plus how I have hacked it, in case you are also looking for that perfect, dinky little watercolor travel set. The sets are listed in the supplies list below!

But whilst you are here, I need your help! I’ve gone ahead and set up my Patreon page and I would love your feedback on it! I will do a film all about it soon, but in the meantime I am looking to find out what kind of things would you like from an online art subscription service?

So as well as supporting all of the content I post on YouTube and seeing more of the behind the scenes that I don’t really have time to share anywhere else, I’ve got some tutorials, creative exercises and things that would help you make the most out of your creative time coming up on Patreon. I am looking at ways that I can inspire you and support you in your art learning and progression too! So basically what do you need that you would be happy to pay a few dollars/pounds/euros etc. a month to get! Let me know, leave me a comment, email me, join me on Patreon and tell me there 😉 ! Whatever you like! And thank you in advance!

VIDEO: Mini Abstract Acrylic Paintings And An Idea For Using Them!

20 June 201820 June 2018 Kim Dellow

I am painting some mini abstract acrylic paint pieces today and I thought I would share them with you in my Wednesday art video and also turn them into something useful, not just pretty! You will see what at the end of the video but I am sure you can guess from the photo can’t you?! I am also just sharing a little personal, where I am, artistically and on the business side of things, at the moment chat.

And in the video I mention that I want to build a community over on Patreon, well I have set up my page so go pop on over to find out more. I will probably do a whole separate blog post and video about it soon, so think of this as the soft launch! But my idea is that it will be like a subscription service that you can pledge what you want to and get extra art learning, inspiration and behind the scenes from me. So do take and look!

Enjoy today’s video, the product list is below and a close up photo of the finished projects is below too!
