VIDEO: Flowers And Graphite Junk Journal Page

Sometimes your junk journal page doesn't turn out the way you thought it would does it? I mean it is not like I had a plan for this junk journal page that I am sharing today, but I didn't think it would go the way that it did! Just as with last week's DIY art journal pages, I have also added in some graphite later on in the art process and have a few different techniques for you to try out on your next junk journal page. I am…

VIDEO: Acrylic Paint, Watercolour And Ink Art

I thought that I would work on one of the backgrounds I have been making recently. So this piece starts on an acrylic paint background and I layer it with a whole host of different materials. Acrylic ink, brush pens, ball point pens and watercolour paint all go into the layers on this piece today. But even though it uses a lot of materials, it did not take a lot of time to do. Well, I suppose it helped having the background already made and ready to work on!…

VIDEO: Easy Painted Doodle Inspiration

Hey all, it is a new video day and this week I have a painted doodle, collage page in my junk journal for some inspiration for you. I am just loving layering doodles and paint marks at the moment and each time I do it they seem to get more complex. I am challenging myself to see how many layers I can get into one piece! I hope you enjoy watching how this painted doodle page develops from start to finish in this process video. Don't forget to…

VIDEO: How To Use Your Brush To Add Texture

One of the things that I have been playing around with and experimenting with a lot recently is simple ways to add texture with a brush to my mixed media and acrylic painting projects. It is like brush mark making 101 but it is super fun and well worth trying if you are a newbie or revisiting if you are more experienced in your art. So today I am sharing a mixed media page process video with some tips and ideas on brush textures and mark making to…

VIDEO: How to Stop Perfectionism Getting In The Way Of Your Art

We can put a lot of obstacles in our own way can't we?! And one of the ones I struggle with is perfectionism. I am a perfectionist. But when it comes to my art I have learnt how to get past it and not let it hold me back from doing art. Part of what has helped me is learning to let go and I have trained myself to do this through doing more art. But it is a particular kind of art as it is no pressure…

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…

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

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…

VIDEO: Mixed Media Collage Painting – Project 2 From My Burnout Series

More burnout art today and a mixed media collage piece. Yep, I am owning it and calling it burnout work! If you aren't sure what I am going on about then visit last Wednesday's post and watch that video first, it will be a little clearer. It is not so drastic as it sounds, don't worry, but I have been suffering from a bit of burnout and decided that an easy come - easy go art session, which didn't have to result in anything, would help. I mean…

I also talk a little bit about burnout as I am just trying to work through a burnout at the moment. Hopefully, you also enjoy hearing about other people's creative processes and perhaps it will help you too with some of the…
