More playing with art ....

Hello lovely " Artsy" folk !!

This time of year plays havoc with my emotions. I know it is SADD , so I'm thinking of getting  a lamp. I need some ultra violet rays in a bad way. Lol

But, to deflect some of the downer thoughts , I play !!! I make art !!!

It may not be a cure all, but it certainly brightens my mood even if temporarily. 

Here are a few things I've played with recently. 

I saw the video that Gelli Arts ( Gelli plate co) put out on how to do transfer from Gelli plate to packing tape. I finally decided to try it. I like the results. I can use these cut up and added to collages, mail art, art journals , even binding for homemade books. 

I painted a few cute bunnies ... They are on 150 lb watercolor paper and done in watercolor and pencil. 

I did a painting in acrylics on an 8" x 8" gesso board. I'm pleased to say I SOLD it also. 

I put together a collage of some of my artwork. Take a peek. 

And just today, I was going to write for a bit in my regular daily journal, I had an itch to sketch a face. It turned into an angel.... Then I wrote a short quote.... Then did a teeny bit of coloring with pencils. 

I had forgotten to add the " light " in the pupils. So here:

So long till next time.

UPDATED PIC :

Been gone too long ...

Been way too long ....

These got mis placed here... These are pages I've worked on from the DLP Project

Hello all ... I've been gone from here for a very long time , but I have been busy doing all kinds of fun stuff. 

At Christmas I made my very first video of a flip through from a December Daily Junk Journal I made.  

Here is the link if anyone would want to take a peek:

After Christmas I got the bug to organize my studio a bit and start dabbling in done painting / doodling again. 

Here are a few things I played around with : Some watercolor illustrations

Doing a painted paper using acrylic paints , to use for collage , etc

Watercolor

Making some pages for my Documented Life Project: 2016 The Unplanner

It's keeping me in the creative frame of mind while setting up my own planner....

I was also re covering my Bible, ... I redid the cover on a composition book for my new journal and redid the cover on a doodle tablet.  A black paper one I doodle with white gel pen in it. 

I also made some splashy papers for collage or to use in my DLP Project ... I will need to put a very thin coat of clear gesso or matte medium in them since it is watercolor , 

I even played around with my Paper 53 app  and my pencil ( stylus)

And ........ A FREE GIFT FOR YOU 

I used watercolor and created a " TO DO " List. 

All you need to do is right click and save to your computer and print it out whatever size you want. 

Well , that's it for now ... Please leave me a comment let me know what you think .... Always love a little feedback. 

Hugs,

Robin

Just keep swimming...

  

I'm very ashamed that it's been so long since I made a post last. 

I've been up to so many things. 

I'm notorious for jumping from one thing to the next , it's what I do. ☺️

THE PHOTO above is a fish I drew up and painted very quickly for my daughter. 

She bought the Hawaiian blue for her bathroom and wanted a tropical fish theme. 

I found this color palette on Pinterest and went with these vors for the fish.

I've also been busy taking a class here and there. Here are some little things I had worked on for a class by Pam Garrison. It was so fun. I had to draw blind then find an object or objects in the blind doodling and paint them....

~~~~~~~~~~~,,~

Here is a painting I did while doing a workshop  with Sandrine Pellissier . I had to paint an abstract background , the. Find the o jets and basically paint the negative space around my subjects and of course add more color and details.

This was a wonderful workshop and I enjoyed this one soooo very much !!

I have more goodies and projects to share. I'm going to make myself post again tomorrow. 

Hope you are all finding joy in your own art !!

 And I made up some more freebie cards or stickers for you bible , art journal , planner...I did these up in my program like paint on my computer..its an old program so nothing fancy, but hope you can use them...

Just posting a little drawing I did in the wee hours of the morning....I must have been really tired.....the poor little girl looks pretty sad, when she really should have a smile on her face....
I guesso'd  the old dictionary page slightly, then used reg #2 pencil to draw in the figures and colored in with my portfolio oil pastels and outlined with Stabilo marks all black pencil, and used that also for the words..
I'd like to do a few other projects today, but I see a short nap in my future first.....lol

Today is my Birthday !! Yay !...lol and some abstract art play ...

the bottom photo is just a pic I took with my camera...The top is scanned and lost color.

                                                              I played around with my paints yesterday in my art journal....I wanted to do something with an abstract feel...Here is the kicker...I wouldnt let myself use a brush...so this painting was all done with a catalyst tool , scraping the paint on...I also used black in and a fine tip applicator on Dina Wakely Heavy body black paint  then of course my finger. oh and a white paint pen to do some unreadable journaling....lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried another one, again no brush was used...But this time I used colors that are usually not in my pallette...I do like the combination...

Sooo...it's my Birthday today....Guess what I'm going to be doing....yep ! playing in paint ...Bliss !!
Hugs
