The month of May is when our peonies usually start blooming and I love to photograph them, but this year they are late. Instead, I have curated a peony-themed mood board. I do love this flower in all variations, but most of all in pink. I hope you enjoy my picks from around the world. Happy Monday!
As I mentioned here I'm taking part in this year's Mastering Mixed Media event. Below are a few more artworks I completed. I like that these lessons leave room to experiment on your own and encourage you to add your own personal touches! These are from Day 2 through Day 5. If you're interested to learn more about each artist/teacher - click the links.
As I am writing this I am about half way through the event and I'm excited to watch the remaining lessons! Once I complete another set of artworks, I will share those in a future blog post.
Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful week ahead!
My youtube channel turns two years old this month and I'm quite pleased with the way it's going, although this year I've only been able to manage one video tutorial a month. Apart from the daily errands, I've been busy with preparing for an art exhibition in June (more on that in a future post), as well as re-branding my channel to align with my blog.
I did manage to squeeze in this fun and easy tutorial. Creating Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) is very satisfying. The surface is small enough to complete several cards quickly, and just like standard trading cards you can exchange them with fellow artists. Who doesn't love to receive happy mail?!
To fill the background easily I used stencils with a variety of patterns. Create eyecatching effects by using three harmonizing paint colors together.
In this video tutorial I use tiny paper scraps from my leftovers basket. I tend to keep those scraps that are the negative image that have been punched out with a punching tool or a shape that I cut out by hand. By layering other bits underneath you can create interesting collage art.
Watch the short art tutorial from start to finish here:
Chunky acrylic paint pens are a playful way to add mark making. I have several colors, some with a round tip and some with a chisel tip. Tiny bits of washi tapes add texture.
This is a beginner-friendly project and very forgiving should you ever glue down a paper scrap in the wrong place (as I did 😉) due to the many layers!
Thanks for visiting my blog and reading along. Have a great day!
