Draw it ~ finished project

I used a flower stencil, a circle stencil, designer card stock and matte acrylic paints (brilliant green, dark green, turquoise, primary yellow and magenta) to create the background.

Draw it

I love this art journal page too much, so despite of me not keeping I will keep this one for myself. So yes, this one is a keeper😊 I will start another postcard for my partner, which I have to send even though I will like it:))

This postcard is in progress, so I will do a future blog post on the finished project.

card board
notebook paper ~ lined
cute sticky notes ~ flowers
folkart acrylic paints ~ skintone, clover, light peony, school bus yellow

8,5 x11" Art journal page

Okay, what can I say about this art journal page? I started it in January. I apparently knew what I wanted to draw. Then I stopped, because I didn't know how to proceed, what I wanted to express, which technique to use, which colour to choose, etc. So I put the page on a side. Yes, for a couple of weeks. Every time I looked at the page my head went blank:) But I really wanted to send the art journal page to my swap partner. I can't tell all the things I thought about, but today I came at home, started and it all went from there. Happy dance here!

I have to say that I like this art journal page, so, so much and it will hurt to send. But hey, I will not start the process all over again, so this art journal page is ready to leave my home and travel overseas to Colleen:)

Art journal page in progress

This is an 8.5 x 11" art journal page on aquarel paper from an aquarel block of 170 gr/m2. This aquarel paper is quite thin, so I will adhere it on card board when finished, to make the art journal page sturdier. I will proceed with painting and I think I'll use acrylic paints, but I'll see what I come up with;) For the  8.5 x 11" art journal page: February 2017 swap.

Digital images with twin markers

Images from Kenny K downloads, bought years ago and coloured with twin markers (bought a month ago) and copic markers. These twin markers have no brand and were sold for € 0,95 per three markers! There were six packages and I ended up with eighteen twin markers. Yes, I do not suppose to buy more markers! I have to work with what I already have and as I did, I will:))

1 pink # 5, 8, 14
2 purple # 82, 83, 86
3 green # 47, 53, 59
4 blue # 74, 75, 76
5 yellow # 33, 34, 45
6 turquoise # 61, 64, 67

They do the job, but there is a gap in the colour collection. The yellow collection is good and blends well. The purple, green, red, blue collection have a colour gap, which can make blending a little difficult.

Clothes coloured with twin markers; hair and shoes with copic markers. Pink cheeks > copic marker R20.

I love how the three yellows of the twin markers blend well.
