I love to watercolor doodle! I find it really relaxing for some reason. There is something about the way the water and color react together isn't there? I just love watching it. And I thought that we could probably all do with something relaxing this week as December gets quite frantic trying to get things finished before Christmas, if you celebrate…
I have an organic, or intuitive piece for you today and really it is one of my explorations into pattern and mark making as I try to build a page with minimal layers. But you can hear more about it in the video. It is all acrylics but I will call it mixed media anyway because I am using different types…
I have a watercolor swatch video for you this week. I've been watching the latest handmade watercolor paint trend with wide-eyed fascination and I thought I would join in and try some of the paints out myself. So I have bought myself some and I am sharing the watercolor swatch of my new paints along with a very quick timelapse abstract…
So you know how I like resist techniques right? I have been doing a few in different videos on my channel and I have another one for you today. This is the watermark resist using an embossing or watermark ink. You have probably seen the technique being done incoordination with other inks and watercolours right? Well I'm using an acrylics with…
I am working on another bleed through page in my junk journal this week. It follows on directly from my video last week when I worked on the bleed through page opposite to today's page. I mean bleed through happens and you can either leave it, cover it or roll with it can't you? So this week what do I do?…
What do you do with your bleed-through pages in your junk journal? You know where something from one page is visible on the back? This can happen from time to time depending on what products you use and it can happen a lot in junk journals because they are rarely artist-quality papers and mine especially aren't as I usually use event…
Welcome to the my second Inktober doodles sketchbook tour! I've started where we left off last time in the first part of my 2018 Inktober doodles sketchbook tour video. So we start on Day 11 for this one, oh and the first part came with a pep talk too if you missed it! I hope you managed to keep up with this…
I do not like where this page started today, it was a bad art journal page! I know that you can't always get it right and you have to do lots of bad art to get the good art out of you. And this definitely started as a bad art journal page for me. That is why today's art video takes…
I have got some bright and colorful art journal inspiration for you in my art video today! And it just goes to prove that you don't always have to do something complex to achieve a stunning mixed media art journal page. So I hope it inspires to you go bold and beautiful in your next colorful art journal session! And you…
Every now and again it is fun to strike out of two dimensions isn't it? If you are looking for a project idea then how about this? In this week's video I paint a plant pot! It is a ceramic plant pot and I've taken my abstract art journaling and applied it to three dimensions. Which is super fun to do…
So I wasn't going to join in with Inktober this year. I didn't think I would be able to fit it in. But I changed my mind at the very last minute, I mean literally on the day it started, October 1st! And now we are almost, not quite, but pretty close to halfway through the month. So how are you…
