I hope to have a live show tonight, but for now a mermaid…
Hi friends! I am writing this post on Tuesday night, my van is packed with camping gear and I am about to head into the wilderness with a spirited group of 46 8th grade students. I am excited to chaperone this school trip but I am not a camper. I will get back in town late Friday afternoon and depending on what shape I am in I’d like to do the weekly live show at 7pm. If you are subscribed to me on YouTube and you clicked the bell icon you will get notified when and if I go live 🙂 I didn’t want to leave you hanging incase I am totally beat after this trip so I prepared a little mixed media painting in my art journal for you:
Providing I scheduled everything right you should be able to watch it in the player below, if not, wait and hour and try again (incase I messed up the times LOL!) Also, warning, this is a time-lapse, I know some people don’t like them but it was the best vehicle for this project. I hope you enjoy it!
Video!
Supplies:
Journal, Mermaid Markers, Paint-over-pens, dauber bottles, paint brushes, napkins and rub-ons were from Jane Davenport Mixed Media
Gesso & Matte Medium (I put them in Jane’s dauber bottles but I honestly think they might be too thick and I might have ruined the bottles, I’ll keep you updated as to how it works out so if it doesn’t you won’t ruin yours:)
Colored pencils (Coloursoft)
PanPastels and softt tools
You know the drill, use what you have. Mixed media is the “wild west” of painting! Be a rebel, splash on some ink, break the rules and have a blast! The main reason the video was not live narrated is because I didn’t have a clue what I was going to do next! Relax, let go and create with abandon! Giddyup!
