Autumnal Watercolour Palette Setup

Over the weekend I setup a small watercolour palette with some of my favourite granulating colours with an autumnal feel. I just wanted to have a small box, because I plan to take this on out on location drawing. Click more for a list of the paints that are in there and to see some samples.

Mixed Media Art Journaling Video & Testing some new Products

In today’s video I have a closer look on the Paul Rubens Oil Pastels and the new Arrtx acrylic markers. I have you to tell in advance, that I am not an oil pastel artist! I love mixed media and I use oil pastels in my sketchbook to add some accents or for mark making in my art journal. For this purpose I am really happy with both sets. The pastels are super creamy and blend really nicely. The acrylic markers have a brush tip and are permanent once they are dry! This is awesome, as I’ve never seen something like that.

Messy Spread in my Junk Art Journal

I love playing with different materials in my handmade junk art journal. It’s bound from left over painted papers, old book pages and tea-dyed papers. I stitched signitures with around 4 papers (= 8 pages) and glued these together with a gummed paper tape. For this spread I played with the Rubber Dance Bold & Beautiful, Mixed Media Borders and Lace Borders stamp sets.

Review on the Paul Rubens GUCAI Watercolors

In today’s video I have a closer look on the Paul Rubens GUCAI Watercolors. These are metallic watercolors. They are great for handlettering, mixed media projects, cardmaking and to add beautiful accents to your watercolor paintings. Some colors are more opaque than others, some are interference and some have a more glittery granulating effect.
