Sorry!

Dear all, 

I would like to apologise for the lack of content. 

I want to explain. As you may be aware my work have allowed me to do a course. I officially became a student again the other day and I found out that all my assignments have to be in by the 1st April so I am in the middle of a stressful panic trying to get them all done. 

I have had no time to prepare any scenes  or any other artwork since. 

I do have a picture of the Mother's Day card I made. I managed to fit this in before I started the assignments. 

I sketched, drew and painted the Black Capped Chickadee. 

I hope you enjoy.

Seaside Mini

Dear all,

 

Today I finished another mini scene.

 

I remembered to take a picture at a lot of the different steps.

 

Here it is stamped on watercolour card. Most of the stamps used in this scene are from the coastal Hobby Art set and the reeds stamp is a Stampscapes stamp.

 

This picture shows the masking fluid on the cliff. I masked the cliff off so that the colours from the sky don't run in to it.

 

Here is the scene after the mask on the cliff has been removed. I'm sure you know by now that I love the reveal part of the process. This scene is coloured using Windsor and Newton watercolours.

 

Here it is completed but with the masking tape still in place.

 

Then finally when I have removed the tape to reveal the neat edges.

 

I hope you like today's scene. I should have a haul post coming up for you soon.

 

I hope you enjoyed.

Cute Cabin

Dear all,

 

Today I finished a scene as well as coloured a cute mermaid. You may recognise the mermaid stamp from an earlier post. I found another one stamped out on my desk and thought that I might as well colour it in.

 

She is coloured using Copic Markers and then stuck it in the museum book.

On to the scene, well I remembered to take a picture of the stamped scene today. It is stamped on watercolour card. In this picture there is masking fluid on the cabin.

 

The stamps used in this scene are all Stampscape stamps.

 

I decided to take a picture once the background had been done and I removed the masking fluid from the cabin.

 

I coloured this scene using Windsor and newton and Terry Harrison Paints.

 

 

Here it is, the big reveal. The moment when you take off the masking tape and reveal the pretty edges.

 

I hope you enjoyed.

Sheep!!!

Dear all,

 

I have missed doing daily scenes. I feel like I am forgetting something when I don't do one.

 

Today I completed another scene. I again forgot to take a photograph of it before I coloured it in. I will try to do better next time.

 

It is stamped on watercolour cardstock and coloured using Windsor and Newton and Terry Harrison paints.

 

Time to try and remember which sets the stamps come from. The dragonfly came from a Card-io Majexstic stamp set called Oriental Magnolia. The fence is from a Card-io stamp set called Christmas Scenery 1. The flowers at the front of the scene are from a Card-io stamp set called Early Spring blooms. The sheep came from a Hobby Art stamp set called Hillside Scene its. See I remembered this time!

 

In the above picture I have masked the sheep using masking fluid and stuck the watercolour card to the plexiglass using masking tape.

 

In this picture I have removed the tape and masking fluid. I love the reveal. I suggest you give it a go because it is really good watching the scene come out.

 

Here it is in the book. I think it looks cute in the picture frame.

 

The book is really filling up now. It looks really good flipping through it. I really recommend buying this book, even if just for the satisfaction of flipping through it looking at all your art work in cute frames.

 

I will be publishing another scene tomorrow so please come back and have a look.

 

I hope you enjoyed.

Field scene

Dear all,

 

I miss the title!

 

Well as promised I am publishing a scene I stamped today.

 

I again forgot to take pictures of the scene stamped.

 

Here it is coloured:

 

It is coloured with Windsor and Newton and Terry Harrison paints. The pink blossom on the tree is added with a red and white acrylic paint pen mixed together.

 

The stamps are from a Hobby Art stamp set.

 

Here is the scene in the Museum book.

I will definitely be publishing a scene on Saturday. I am not sure about other days this week but it is quite likely I will be publishing scenes on other days so keep checking back.

 

I hope you enjoyed.

Day Thirty... Completed!

Dear all,

 

Well today is the last day of the thirty in thirty challenge.

 

I feel sad that the challenge is over. Originally I planned to continue to try and do a scene every other day but fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your opinion, my work have allowed me to start a new course so I will not be able to commit to so many in a week.

 

I have decided to aim for at least one a week, no matter how small or large. There will be weeks when there will be more and there will more than likely be weeks where I cannot do any.

 

Anyway, on to the scene. I am disappointed in myself that on the last day of the challenge I forgot to take a picture before I started colouring.

 

It is stamped on watercolour card and coloured with Windsor and Newton and Terry Harrison paints.

I also stamped the leaves using Posca Acrylic Paint Pens.  The bushes stamp came from a Hobby Arts set, the tulip stamp came from Joanna Sheen flower pots stamp set and the tree and leaves is a Sutter Stamp.

 

 

You may notice in the picture above that the white border is not even so I decided I better trim it off. So here it is without the border.

 

 

 

 

 

I think this looks scene looks really pretty in the museum book.

 

 

 

 

After I have started the course I am going to plan a day every week where I publish a new scene. That way you will know when I will be publishing in the event that you want to continue viewing my scenes. I will continue to do haul blogs as and when I purchase anything.

 

So keep checking in.

 

I will be publishing a scene tomorrow. I hope you come back and have a look.

 

I hope you enjoyed.

Twenty Ninth Day... Completed!

Dear all,

 

Well the second to last day of the 30 in 30 challenge has arrived. I can't believe the challenge is almost over. Many of the scenes have gone in to the museum book. Although the bigger ones I have been doing recently, as I have mentioned before, are going in to my boyfriends picture frame.

 

Today I decided to do a bigger picture. Well technically I decided to do the same picture as yesterdays blog.

 

Here is the scene from yesterday. It was airbrushed on to glossy cardstock.

 

I decided I could do better so I thought I would try it in watercolour this time,

 

Here it is stamped on to watercolour card. I am using the same one as yesterday.

 

 

I decided to try the masking fluid today. The super nib was a bit confusing to use to start with but it didn't take long to get the hang of it.

 

Here is the scene with all the masking done. The tree did take a bit longer to dry. Everything apart from the tree took about 10/15 minutes. The tree probably took 20 minutes.

I used both Windsor and Newton and Terry Harrison paints. I finished the colouring on the scene and then I added the reeds on top.

 

Here it is finished.

 

I hope you enjoyed.
