Tea Bag Art Tuesday 7-17-18

Sometimes drawing an image upside down can be easier and... sometimes not! 

This was one of those "sometimes not" times!

I invite you to take 13 min. to watch the process on YouTube.

Please give me a "thumbs-up" or leave me a message to my channel to let me know you stopped by.

my first art video

It all began when I added this desire to my vision board.
I admire artist who regularly show videos of what they are creating.
The dedication to their cause to inspire others.
Each time I watch them  I feel this little nudging to do it, too.
What unlocked the door for me was when I verbalized, out loud, my desire to do the same.
Inspiring others to let their creative spirit out to play is the core of who I am as an artist.
I love playing with art.
I love teaching others to play with art.
I love techniques.
I love using different products in my art.

  I begin with this baby step.
Creating my first art video.
I invite you to take the time to watch it.

 

All feedback is appreciated.

Thank You for all of your support and encouragement.

I couldn't do this without YOU!

What a coincidence! Or was it?

Last night I was researching encaustic techniques on the internet looking to expand my knowledge.

I came across a video of this man who randomly applied oil pastels to the bottom of an iron and then painted landscape scenes.

I thought that was very cool.    

As I continued my search I discovered, Lana Khavronenko.  

With an iron and oil pastel she was creating portraits.  

I was blown away.  

I was captivated the rest of the evening watching her videos.  

Here is one of them so you can see what I am talking about.

This morning, on FaceBook,  I read a post from the fellow artist that I admire.  

She raved about another artist and then shared a video by this artist.   

Lo and behold the video was of  Lana Khavronenko.  

The same artist I was enamored with the night before.  

What a coincidence!  Or was it?

If you know me at all you know that I took it as a message from the Universe.

So........ today I used the technique Lana shared as my inspiration.

This is what I did for Day 17.

I pulled out my little Tulip iron, grabbed my GRANDdaughter's crayons,  and and off to my studio I went.

It was a little tricky in more ways than one. 

I kept remelting something I had already done.

After I was finished I scratched into it with a carving tool.

This technique is a keeper.

One I will continue to practice over and over gain.

Tomorrow I will be on a quest to find a small iron with a pointed tip.

Thank You for all of your support and encouragement.

2 more pages + YouTube video

I have steadily been finishing up pages for my Create Art with Abandon journal.  Here are 2 more to be added.  These pages begin as left over pain while working on other art.  Whatever paint is left on the brush just gets wiped onto these watercolor pages, dried,  then stowed away until the next. After a while I take them out and put finishing touches on them.

So I was thinking it would be great to put these pages in a You Tube slide show to be available for all to see.  Here's the link for that, I hop you will check it out and let me know what you think.   (Note:  these 2 pages have not been added yet.)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo1aJrSolOM
