LIVE - Blind 3 Art Journal Page

Hi everyone!

Each month I stream creating a page using the blind 3 challenge where I 'blindly' select three mediums and can only use those three mediums plus black and white. I can use stencils, stamps and textures also.

Today the three colours were bronze, copper and cobalt blue hue! 

I had no idea what I was going to do until I started going through my stamps and thinking what I could add to the page. I'm happy with the end result. Let me know what you think.

Blind 3 Challenge Journal Page

Hi guys!

Another blind 3 journal page where I blindly select 3 colours from my paint trolley and use those 3 colours plus black & white. You can also use any other product such as stencils, stamps, texture tools, etc.

The 3 colours blindly selected were Juice, Storm in a Teacup & Violet. This was a hard one due to the fact that there were 2 very dark colours amongst the mix.

Hi everyone!

My last page for the year (even though I didn't edit it and upload it until 2023) was done in my 5 1/2 x 8 1/4" mixed media journal.

I had bought the Toadstool Town stamp set early on in December and I just had to use them. So I used all but 2 of the stamps on this page. I didn't know what the title was or where it was going until towards the end when I added the lone bird without wings on the mushroom, then it came to me! However, this page took me 4 1/2 hours to complete!

Hi everyone!

My last page (if you could call it a page) was one where I had wiped off excess paint. So instead of applying gesso over it I just decided to use it as is, add some eyes and call it done!
