  8. Well that isn't a mixed media on it's own, the doodling, nut I often combine it with watercolors inks and acrylics, and the day some collage element doesn't find it's way into a project is pretty rare...

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh dear ... I still haven't got much beyond splashing colour on a page and doodling over it and hoping it looks like something :) But my desk diary always has some colour on it now, even if it's only a quick border, and it makes to do lists much easier to cope with.

Acrylic painted backgrounds layered with these homemade stencils/ stamps and fabric pieces, lace, ropes are my favourite technique.

  180. I love using my daughter's non permanent crayola markers. When you color with them, then take a paint brush, they turn out watercolor-ish.

  181. I'm really enjoying layering tissue paper, doilies and other texture items with gesso and then adding color with inks, gelatos, paints, etc. once the gesso is dry.
