I had some ink and paint down on an art journal page in my Art Creations journal. If I'm not feeling creative or have extra paint from a project, I plop it down on random art journal pages so there is a starting point for a future art journaling session. I've used watercolor, inks, and oil pastels-basically, whatever was on my desk. :) These pages don't always turn out the prettiest, but art journals are great opportunities to practice and become familiar with various art supplies. ...

Check out the video tutorial below! ... View the Post
Water Soluble Oil Pastel Painting (Tutorial Video)
I really love how this painting came together! I started with watercolors for the stems and leaves, then switched to Portfolio and Ha Shi oil pastels for the rest. Because these oil pastels are water soluble, they are easy to blend as you are painting! I collaged several of the flowers together, along with some of my painted birds, for a lovely motif that I used to create seamless patterns. ... View the Post

Colored pencils work really well on Strathmore Toned Tan paper. I've drawn this parakeet in mostly colored pencil, with a bit of Caran D'Ache Neocolors, and my faithful white Posca paint pen. :) I love the bright colors. They are cheerful birds! At the bottom of the post, there is a video tutorial! Here are some ephemera and patterned papers that I created with this parakeet. ... View the Post
