I just love floral art and working with florals, there is so much you can do with them isn't there? I thought I would explore all sorts of mixed media flower art this month both here and on Patreon too. So let's kick this floral month off with some simple textures using acrylic paints in this timelapse art video today. I will…
Just keep on layering - I think it is my new mantra! At least for today's art video it is and it continues on from last week's art video where I was using the same technique to work through my 'new layer' blocks. Do you remember we talked about them last week? It is worth doing the exercise a few times,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
If you have issue 182 of Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine then you might have spotted my interview and this layering colors project already?! It's a mix of crafty and arty because I am using some stamping but I also drew a flower for it too. So it is mix and match mixed media! I talk you through my creative process…
I am trying out the Molotow One4All, I haven't used these pens before as they can be a little bit on the expensive side but one of my favorite art shops has them on at a good price at the moment (I've listed it in the supplies under the video if you are interested). So, well I could not resist buying…
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…
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…
It's great fun doing mail art isn't it? I haven't done any for ages, well unless you count the gift box of arty goodies that I decorated recently that is, and I thought that as I was sending off some arty bits and bobs for the recent background collaboration that it would be the perfect opportunity to do a touch of mail…
