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…
Surprise video time and some acrylic paint backgrounds! Well, not so much of a surprise seeing as I actually mentioned it in yesterday's video! But a sort of surprise and the first part of an art video collaboration with Jeanine from the YouTube channel My Arty Heart. Watch the video for the details of the collaboration as I show you what…
I'm keeping things simple today with a really easy, but totally effective, acrylic paint background. And for a bit of contrast I have also played with one of my geometric designs as I wanted to see how it would look on this background.

You guys know that I love a bit of easy stenciling don't you? I mean give me a piece of paper and a pair of scissors and I'll give you a stencil and mask to play with! It's so lo-tech but I've gone even lower tech today because I have re-purposed a kitchen sponge - don't worry it won't be going…
I'm using acrylic paint like watercolor in today's video show and tell, to make some lovely, bright and translucent paint layers. It's a great technique and fun to do!

More acrylic paint leaves for you today and a video of my latest Junk Journal experiments. For this video I've been playing around with painting acrylic paint leaves using those wonderful iridescent Pebeo paints that I am totally hooked on at the moment.
