I'm still dabbling with paper beads, so when I have a little time on my hands, I use various coloring media to color adult coloring pages (wow! that's a lot of "color" in one sentence!). In this video, I use Art-n-Fly Alcohol Ink Markers to color a couple of pages. Eventually, you'll see another video on my channel where I color pages with a different coloring medium. I may have to make this a series if I keep finding different kinds of coloring media to use. :)
I've been amassing a large collection of Tootsie Roll Fruit Chews wrappers, and I have so many I decided to put them to another very good use: Covering a cardboard box. I ran into a minor issue when I added a touch a glitter to the design. Watch the video to see what I mean and how I fixed it (kind of).
It's simple, really; I needed purple candy wrappers, so I colored white ones with the purple Inktense block. Eventually, I'll use them for a project. Stay tuned for next week's video where you'll see what I do with those purple candy wrappers.
Thanks!
This is part 2 of Watercolors and Sea Salt. Once again, I created four watercolor doodles with four different brands (for the list of brands and their respective Amazon links, open the Description box below the video on my YT channel).
The goal that I achieved was the different effects that adding sea salt created in the doodles. If you like to experiment with coloring media and sea salt (or even just regular salt), give this a whirl. Each picture, no matter what brand of watercolor paints or watercolor markers you use, creates a different look once the sea salt has been sprinkled on the wet surface. Allow the pictures to dry and then just scrape off the salt. I think you'll be quite pleased with the effects.
Thank you!
I seem to have an obsession with sea salt because I love using it to see what effects I can get when I sprinkle it on watercolors, and it doesn't matter if those watercolors came from markers or paints. In this video, I use four different brands of watercolor paints, create four doodles with three different colors (green, blue, and purple), spritz the pics with water, and then grind sea salt over each doodle. I love doing this kind of art because each brand produces different results. Watch the video to see what I mean.
By the way, did you know that you can go directly to my YouTube channel by just clicking on the title in the upper left corner of the video? This little trick can be done on any website that presents a YouTube video. Sometimes, it's just easier to watch the videos from within YouTube rather than via the websites that I visit. Even better, if you want to stay on the website you're visiting, right-click on the video title and select "Open link in new tab."
This has been your tip of the day! Thanks for reading (and watching)!
In this video, I use a few pieces of the paper I punched in the Playing with Scraps and Punches video to make an embellishment or two for my Junky Art Journal. Early on in the video, I made one embellishment and set it aside to dry and then worked on the second one. While I was editing the video, I realized I totally forgot about that first embellishment. Lol! Strange things happen to me while I'm recording videos. My brain just forgets what I just did. Has that ever happened to you? I don't think I'm alone in that regard, especially in YouTube Land. I'm just going to chalk it up to Murphy's Law of Videography.
