Spring Joy

Happy Friday Everyone!

This page started with a scrape of Cerise PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic, leftover from previous play, and I already had some bright Fresco Acrylics out. I had decided to paint white daisies, and then I watched Susanne Rose's video, which inspired me further.

The PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylics that I used were Cerise, Caribbean Sea, Slimed, Seaglass, Tango, and Snowflake, and I used a blue Stabilo Aquarellable pencil dipped in water to draw outlines and write the words. The background paint was applied with a palette knife and I used the point to scribble in it. I used a paintbrush to add the flowers (round brush for the daisies and small flat brush for the pink ones).

Art Journal Journey - Spring

Hi Everyone!

I have an art journal page to share today for Rosie's Spring Challenge at Art Journal Journey. Today's theme for Birgit's Gelli Print Challenge was Crayon Resist, so I've used that technique on my page. The flowers, sun and birds were created with wax crayons, then I used a small round gelli plate and turquoise acrylic paint to colour the whole page. Then I scraped the paint away from the wax to reveal the wax colours. Cool isn't it? 

Here are some more wax resist pieces...

For the pieces below, I made wax rubbings with stencils, before applying the paint.

If you're on Instagram, there are some amazing challenge examples to be seen, using the hashtag birgitkoopsengelprintingchallenge.

Happy Monday to you all,
