click bait {on canvas}

working my art journal technique onto canvas when i grabbed a used canvas that i was not happy with hanging out on a shelf in my studio.

i had painted it originally and apparently, tried to repaint this poor little canvas before being inspired to try this technique on canvas. third time may just be the charm!

i layered up a little collage paper and worked my paint. i had recently taught this class called- art journaling statements using fashion magazines for art journals; but, the technique seems to work well on canvas. 

i love the above corner for sure.....the mix of colors, peeled layers and the ink pen marks.

the yellow green sides are original to the canvas from the first painting- at this point not sure i wanted to repaint....still contemplating this.

this was the first of four paintings that day. started small on this 4" x 4" canvas and worked my way up to a 12" x 36".

are you on instagram? i made a few short videos for my instagram account if you want to see more.

rethink everything {art journal}

rethink everything you know about art journaling.

• think hot mess; why does it have to be neat and clean?
• or planned out? i try to be a planner, but, it never works- so no more planning; move in the moment and go with how you feel and react right then
• if you glued something down, who says it has to stay on that page? rub, peel and rip that back off. that rubbed off paper stuffs looks great on other pages
• gold makes everything look good; sprinkle that shit everywhere

want to learn about color, collage and mixing mediums; movement, layers and mark making?

i will be teaching an art journaling class called Art Journaling Statements  on august 27 and 28 in Watertown, SD at Jennifer Stone's fabulous studio. there are only a few spots left. let me know if you are interested.

happy monday.
