Some art journals

Hi there,

Sorry for my absence here in my blog.

It's not that I haven't been creating, just haven't had the time to my blog.

Anyway, here are some art journals I have made lately:

Several of the pages are pages made after attending the ongoing classes at Everything Art - Wanderlust.

Canvas

My recent canvas, size 40x40cm

I got an idea after seeing a program on television about a Norwegian Painter.
Not that he had done something like mine, it was just something I saw in one of his paintings that I wanted to stretch a bit and make it mine. 
So here is bright colors and lines.

 I was really happy when it was finished, the painting made me really happy, love the bright colors and the contrasts by the acrylic paint .

In the mirror

Hi there,

It's been a while since my last blogpost, been really busy making lots of art journals and canvases.

Here is an art journal inspired by the ongoing class I am attending at Everything Art.

Topic for this was: "what I see in the mirror"

FREE - Wanderlust Challenge

This year I'm attended the one-year long online class Everything Art - Wonderlust 2016 Hosted by the creative Kasia and Jamie


You can check out the online class here (still a few days left to join)

Here is my entry for the January challenge

The page is made in my new Dylusions journal where I have used black India Ink, Golden light molding paste, Prima Art Basics Gesso, Golden acrylic fluid paint, stencils

Canvas for my daughter

My daughter just turned 18 and I made her a small canvas (size 25x50cm)




Another of my playful figures :

Products used: Golden fluid acrylic paint and glazing satin), rub-ons, stencils, black pen, black Gelato

Canvas

As you probably saw from my last post I'm practicing something new to me - drawing faces.

I don't want to draw a perfect face, I want to make funny faces.

Still practicing..... now on canvas size 30x30m

Acryl Paint by Golden and Art Anthology, some stencils

Canvas - collage

 I was inspired by something I saw in a window for a couple of days ago and it resulted in this collage canvas. (size 37x47cm)

Had a fun time making this! Have to make more!!

 Art Anthology and Golden acrylic paint, black gesso, stencils and black pen.

Art journal

Hello again!
 I've been "missing in action" lately, partly because of my trip to wonderful Rome!
What a trip!!
And what a city!!
 I really want to go back - right now!

 But I have been creating, lots of things that will come up on my blog later on.

 Anyway, here is an art journal - just for fun.
 Must not forget to have fun and do some journaling every day.
 Keeps my mojo going!

Wishing you all a fabolous day!

Guest Designer Scraps & Pieces - art journal watercolors

Hi again peeps!

 Some time ago I was asked if I would be Guest Designer at Scraps & Pieces
 An honor to be asked and of course I said yes!!
For April it was this stunning mood board and the theme was watercolor.

I had no proplem working with that, really fun challenge.
 As this shop/blog is from Greece I wanted to do a Greek art journal, so this page is dedicated to Crete, "a tribute to Platanias" where we stayed for one week last summer.

I used a stencil to help me with the houses, also draw some of the houses myself.
 Greece is all about white houses (at least that's the image we see from all the travel brochures and photos) , blue doors/windows etc and I tried to get that look on my art journal. 

Here is the awesome mood board:

And here is my art journal: 

I gessoed my page first, since I planned to use a lot of water.
Next I used my precious Golden QoR watercolors to make the background.
I used a stencil by The Crafter's Workshop for the houses and outlined the houses with my Stabilo all "magic" pencil.
Added Golden titanium white acrylic paint on the houses and the Golden QoR in the windows/doors.

Thank you Scraps & Pieces, Amy for wanting me as Guest Designer  this month!

Take a walk on the wild side - Canvas

Here is my latest canvas, size 30x80.
My first try on a larger size and it was really fun!
 Have to get some more canvases in larger sizes!

 It has now a place on the wall in our livingroom!

Used Art Anthology Gesso and acrylic paint by Golden.
Some stencils of course and India ink.

Canvas from online-class Mixed Media Studio

Hi there!

 Just sharing a canvas I have made taking the online-class at Big Pictures Classes - Mixed Media Studio.
