Day 26 #100dayproject

I’m ambivalent about this one. It’s Golden fluid acrylics Benzimidazolone medium yellow and Quinacridone red. I like how vivid it is but the red is my least-used Quin colour – it always seems a bit harsh to me.

Day 25 #100dayproject

This is Golden fluid acrylic Quinacridone magenta then Benzimidazolone medium yellow wiped back through a stencil with a damp babywipe. I thought there’d be more orange tones than I ended up with.

Day 24 #100dayproject

I love this colour combination! I started with Golden fluid acrylic Quinacridone nickel azo gold, then added Quinacridone magenta and Turquoise (phthalo) and let them mix in the middle. The result is a little more dense than this shows, but it does make a nice quite transparent dark.

Day 23 #100dayproject

This is Golden fluid acrylics Anthraquinone blue with Quinacridone magenta over the top then rubbed back with a dry paper towel through a StencilGirl stencil. It came out a lot darker than I thought it would.

Day 22 #100dayproject

This isn’t a great scan colour-wise – it’s actually more teal. The contrast is about right, but overall it’s a little more subtle. I used Golden Fluid acrylics in Teal and Benzimidazolone medium yellow applied through a StencilGirl stencil. The yellow is very transparent so there’s this subtle range of yellow greens that I really like.

Day 21 #100dayproject

Golden fluid acrylics Turquoise (phthalo) and Quinacridone magenta. This is much richer than the scan shows. Thank heavens, this is the last day of the messed up numbering!

Wishing

I’ve got a friend who constantly wishes their live was different, but can’t quite take the steps needed to make the changes they want. They tried to change their life more than a year ago but didn’t fully commit to it, so of course it didn’t work out. I firmly believe the Universe can only act when we are 100% committed in words and actions. If we’re unclear, the Universe can’t act. So often, the things we want are quite ordinary and well within our grasp if only we’d step out in a mindset of trust.

This page was done in my Dina Wakley mixed media journal. Supplies: Golden fluid acrylics (Teal, Paynes Grey, Indian yellow, Alizarin crimson), Derwent Artbar, Stampendous Aged Embossing powder, Tim Holtz stencil, Ranger Distress collage medium, Pitt Big Brush pen (walnut), Tim Holtz collage words and figures.

LD17 week 7

This month’s theme is love and the quote was supplied. I’m using a new A3 journal Tony bought me, so this is big. I used Distress Paints, Golden fluid acrylics, 7 Gypsies papers, Pitt pen, stencils and washi tape.

CJS17 with Andy Skinner

Yesterday we were inspired by Andy Skinner, who made an industrial tag. I do flat artwork when I journal generally, so this is all paper with metallic paints, Paynes Grey, and Azo Gold.

CJS17 with Cat Scanlon

Today’s artist, Cat Scanlon, uses transparent colours to great effect, layering washes of colour over mark making, then more mark making on the top layer. I used Dylusions paints for the bottom layer of mark making, over collaged text, then Golden Fluid Acrylics for the flower and washes of colour (I love watered down Paynes Grey). I used a little Light Copper fluid acrylic for the final mark making.
