Weckruf (Wake-Up Call) or…A FAST Forward Making off a Canvas

The image of this window with some landmarks of Hamburg kept coming up when I was sketching things in my art journal and on my iPad. So I figured it was time to finally just put it on a canvas.

Here is a FAST Forward Movie of the Making off (it is not a step by step tutorial- although most steps are extensively in there ;) ) – I hope you enjoy it. I have a List of all Supplies used below

I had lot’s of fun playing with the new Liquitex Professional Paint Markers – loved that there are so many ways to use them and the colors are just to die for .

I have some other ideas for this image – color wise etc…so you might see this coming up again in a different look :)

Would you like to see more fast-foward videos in the future?

Have a wonderful day :)

    I loved watching this. It is great to see the way you show and name the products so that we have most of our questions answered before we even need to ask them. Thanks, Ami

    Oh, Nat, I can’t tell you how helpful this type of video is for me, as a newbie mixed media person! Seeing how you pull it all together really helps me to ‘get it’. And love your finger work! Can’t wait to try this out in my art journal!

    very cute video… I’ve seen these paint markers in my art supply store – they look interesting, but I don’t know what to do with them. I’d love to see more fast-forward videos!

New Adventures – ArtJournal Page

This time when I came back from CHA I made an effort to play at least half an hour in my studio in my artjournal with the new CHA stuff before tackling all the emails and other things that had to be taken care of.

LockDown01

2013 is a very exciting year for me and the adventure started on the day I did this journal page. I will fill you in later in a couple of months- LOL.  The bright colors of this page are a good indicator how excited and full of hopes and happiness I am for things to come :)

LockDown02

I used Julie Fei Fan Balzer’s and Dina Wakley’s new stencils for Crafter’s Workshop – love! Also used Ranger Distress Inks, Liquitex Acrylic Paints, Liquitex Professional Spraypaints, Derwent Artbars and Posca Markers.

Are you going to spend some time in your studio today?

Have a wonderful day

Nat

    Very cool spread, Nat! Love all the colors and layers. The white highlight and black sketched outline on the Corn Flowers is awesome, adds such dimension to them. Can’t wait for you to spill on the new adventures!
