Quick, creative moments are great art exercises. I was flipping through an old Daphne's Diary magazine, when a rag doll caught my eye. I quickly sketched it. Then, I used watercolors and colored pencils. It took about five minutes, but it helped end a creative block. Try it out! :) YOUTUBE SHORT ... View the Post
Dylusions Journal and Oil Pastels
This Dylusions journal from Ranger features high quality black paper that can hold mixed media fun! The underpainting was done with acrylic and gouache, then topped with oil pastels.

It is bound with elastic, therefore you can remove the pages when you are creating, as well as adding additional pages of your own. It's a great travel size, as well as a perfect size to pop into a large journal. YOUTUBE SHORT! ... View the Post
Art Journal Mess of Color! (YouTube Short)
The nice thing about an art journal is that it is a plac to experiment. Things don't always go to plan, but that's the point. Below is an example that turned out a bit messy, but I love the color! I used Jane Davenport inks, acrylic inks, and Golden fluid acrylics. If you put fluid acrylic ink in a fine liner, you can write with it. YOUTUBE SHORT OF COLORFUL MESS! ... View the Post
