Creative Heart Monday - Girls, Girls, Girls

Happy Creative Heart Monday!

Today, I'm using several of my Gel Press plates as stamps.  I'm creating a very, very, very layered background, then using some, handmade, masks to develop the design.

I had an old, never finished, piece of art way back in my closet, so it was time to make something happen with that pitiful canvas panel.

Here we go.........................



Supplies

20" X 24" Canvas Panel
6" X 6" Round Gel Press Plate
6" X 6" Square Gel Press Plate
8" X 8" Round Gel Press Plate

Inspiration from the Greats - Jackson Pollock

Inspiration from the GREATS!

Welcome to our first Inspiration from the Greats video.  This month we are being inspired by Jackson Pollock - originator of American Abstract Expressionism!

This video is, primarily in "real time".  I've tried my best to use his techniques.  Of course, I don't believe that he was using small bottles of craft paint.  He used large cans of paints!  He also created very large paintings (which I would like to do someday).

Since this is going to be a monthly thing (we'll focus on a different artist each month), I created a Facebook Group where we can share our painting inspired by the artist of the month.  I would love to see your paintings inspired by Jackson Pollock!!

Here we go...............

I hope that you enjoyed the video and would love to here your comments.  Join the Facebook Group!!

PEACE!

Creative Heart Monday 1/4/2016 "Three Friends"

Here it is!  My first ever Creative Heart Monday video.



Creative Heart Monday is a, free, weekly, video series where I will be creating a piece of art, start to finish, using various mixed-media techniques and supplies.

In this first video, I grabbed a bunch of things that I never use...handmade stamps, dimensional paint, hand-cut stencils, etc.  Without a solid plan, I just played around.  I ended up with a very colorful piece.  All of the supplies are mentioned in the video, but here is another complete list:

Black and White Liquitex Gesso
Golden Fluid Acrylics - Quinacridone Magenta, Green Gold, Turquoise (Phyalo), Teal
Decoart Media Spray Paint - Primary Magenta
Decoart Americana - Citron Green, Carousel Pink
Scribbles Dimensional Paint - Irridescent Charcoal Grey, Neon Pink, Shiny White
Stabilo "All" Pencil
Pigma Micron Pen - Black
Montana Paint Pens - Black and White


Here are some other Creative Heart Monday videos that I have planned:

• How to make a trinket box using hand-painted papers
• How to make hand-painted papers
• Abstract Faces
• What to do with all of those Gelli-prints
• Funky houses
• Ink and alcohol painting
