LIVE STREAM - Blind3 Art Journal Page

Hi everyone!

Today I streamed live creating a journal page using the blind 3 method.

The 'blind 3' challenge is where you select any 3 mediums 'blindly' - yes! No peeking involved!

Today, Eileen (my co-star/director) suggested I use sprays instead of paint. That threw me! I'd never thought to create a journal page without paint before! But I took on the challenge and am sooooo glad I did!

The colours I blindly chose were all from Lindy's Stamp Gang as follows:

• Cocoa Bean Copper
• Glory of the Seas Gold
• Amaryllis Burgundy

As with the paints I could use the black and the white sprays with the above colours. The sprays I chose were:

White Linen

Marble Black

I really love how the page turned out and will be experimenting more with this technique!

 Hi everyone

This page was the first page I've done in almost three years! The recent few I've uploaded were done way back in 2019 - I had only just edited and uploaded them.

It's weird how similar this page is to the previous page (#243).

I am enjoying getting back into my art journals and playing.

LIVE STREAM - Art Journal Page

 Hi everyone!

Today I streamed live creating a journal page using the blind 3 'plus' method lol.

The 'blind 3 plus' method is where I blindly picked three paints and then selected the first three 'magicals' I came to. The paints were Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre and Oxide Chromium Green. The Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Magicals were 'magical mai tai', 'aloha avacado' and 'ocean breeze blue'.

At first I stencil gessoed the page using a 12"x12" KaiserCraft 'chevron' stencil and the finished effect is awesome! In essence, the gesso makes the colours used on top brighter than the un-gessoed areas of the page. Love that technique!

Again I printed some images to add to the page and used a quote from the Sticker Nation 2 book.

 Hi everyone!

This page was done almost 3 years ago! I struggled to work out what paints and mediums I used on this page so I apologise for that. I am now back into my art journaling and feeling much better so look out for weekly videos and weekly live streams! Please let me know what you would like to see me do.

LIVE STREAM Art Journal Page

Hi everyone

Today I did the blind 3 challenge where I blindly choose three different paints, along with a black and a white paint, to create a page with only those paints.

The paints I blindly chose were 'espresso', 'pretty pink' and 'lime yellow'.

I used stencils, stamps stickers (black & white) and stamped an image onto white cardstock, fussy cut it out and painted it with the 3 colours I blindly chose!

I think it worked out fairly well in the end.
