Hi everybody! I am sharing a new exclusive video today for my lovely Mixed Media Play members over on YouTube. I am creating two abstract mixed media paintings inspired by my latest art journal spread I shared on Tuesday! I have this video linked again to this spread!

Before we start I’d like to tell you some exciting news! I am a teacher in the popular Wanderlust workshop next year! It’s the Wanderlust 2027 – Seasons Edition! Amongst 40 amazing artist I am able to share a lesson and I am super proud to be part of that! I’d be happy to see you in class next year! All information is available on the Wanderlust website!

Now let’s have a look at the paintings from today. As I mentioned I used my latest art journal page as inspiration. That made it really easy to start those paintings. It was a super relaxing process. I worked with similar colors and tried to create a similar composition.

This is the art journal page – I’ve linked the process video again underneath.

That’s the process for the art journal page above:

Now let’s have a look at the two paintings I did inspired by this spread. I used some watercolor paper pads that are glued on all four sides. I like this because you don’t have to stretch you paper and it makes it easy to just start.
I ended up with two paintings because I forgot to press record when I started the first one. So I started out new and then finished the first one later in the video. The process video is linked up at the end. It’s available for Mixed Media Play members.
