Oil Pastel Painting “Path in the Woods”

I love my oil pastels! This quick painting was done in my Royal Talens art journal. I love using Paul Rubens and Mungyo oil pastels. They have a great balance of creaminess, while still having the ability to layer. This was just an art exercise, but it was still fun! I did't film it, but the pictures will show you the major layers. ... View the Post

Mixed Media Nesting Doll Painting & VIDEO

Since I was young, I have had a love for nesting dolls. I love how they neatly stack inside one another. Then, you take them out one by one, until you get to the tiniest one left! Of course, they are usually painted so beautifully as well. They are interactive art. I've used my Artsy metallic watercolors on black watercolor paper, cut to a card size. With gouache and Posca pens, I painted the doll. I love the shimmer! VIDEO BELOW! ... View the Post

Shimmery Watercolor Lady in My Art Journal

We will say this lady is Elizabethan-ish. :) I love historical dress on my quirky people drawings (and sometimes animals)! Many brands offer gold watercolor, and it is a lot of fun to use. This was a very quick painting in my art journals-no doubt, on a day that I was sick or very busy. The art journal is my Strathmore Visual journal. It has great paper! ... View the Post

Inktense Florals with Berries

It seems that my site is working again; let's hope it continues! This painting was done with (mostly) Inktense Pencils from Derwent. I love that once activated, the color doesn't move as you layer new media on top. Then, you can add the dry colored pencils on top for texture. Inktense pencils are great for travel! These sticks of ink can be used as dry media until you are able to activate them, so sketching on-the-go is easy! :) ... View the Post

Temporary Issues

Sadly, my website started experiencing issues yesterday. I spent the whole day trying to resolve the issues with my site host. So far, it it is still moving slowly. I'm sorry, and I am working hard to resolve the issue. Thank you for your patience! If you need recipes, my site will still load. It will be slow, but eventually will open for you. Thanks and pray! :) ... View the Post

Loose Watercolor Roses with Mozart Watercolors

I'm using Mozart watercolor for these lovely roses. I started in my art journal, just painting very loosely. I then went in with the greenery, finishing with the gold shimmery watercolor. I created a pattern (see picture below). If you are looking for ideas to fill your art journal, try this out! :) The Japanese-style watercolors that I'm using are a lovely balance between a watercolor and a gouache. They include some metallics and neon colors. BUY THE COLLECTION HERE! 10 ... View the Post
