(Oops!! Forgot to post this!!)
I followed directions on ‘palest blue’s’ youtube tutorial… so fun and simple!! I can see me doing pages and pages of these.
Sun Jan 7, 2018: Watercolor Galaxies
Month: January 2018
Wed, Jan 9, 2018 watercolor
Just a pretty watercolor blob for the first page of a watercolor journal… the “if-found-please-return-to” page. Without the words. (because I don’t want to post the address and contact info here!)
Sat Jan 6 another face bookmark :)
Now I’m thinking several different length strips the same width, with different faces, might be a sort of cool art piece. I’ll have to think about this.
Fri Jan 5 2018… bookmark (pen and marker face)
Just a quick sketch tonight. Still starting with other people’s ideas, but I did give it my own twist.
Thurs, Dec 4, 2018… Celtic circles
So my post-one-a-day plan hasn’t bled over into 2018 … but I am still trying to do something creative each day. I worked on this yesterday and today. The coolest thing about it is the shiny gold ink!! I don’t know if you can really see how shiny it is… I used Dr. Ph. Martin’s Iridescent Ink: Copperplate Gold. (and Qor watercolor paint, in my inktober drawing pad, 90 lb smooth paper)
I purchased this ink in APRIL and have only used it TWICE now. I do really like it, though, and hope to make myself use it more frequently. I used a thin brush and it worked great, was easy to use, and no trouble with the clean up. (a calligraphy nib would work, too)
I was trying to create a Celtic circle like PearFleur does in this video… in fact, that is why I originally purchased this ink! (She is a favorite of mine… go check out some of her stuff on youtube!) (Remember the Secret of Kells movie from 2009? Beautiful!) I also used the Molotow Liquid Chrome Marker I purchased a month or two ago in an ArtSnacks subscription box. This thing draws a mirror-like silver finish… it’s super cool, but honestly I think I like the Martin’s ink better, although a pen/marker is more convenient. I have the 1mm marker, very useful… but there are larger nibs that might be nice to have. I never would have purchased this on my own, but I’m glad to have it now.
Happy new year!!!
