Video exploring how Dylusions paints work in my art journal

Happy day! My box of Dylusions paints arrived!  I am a huge fan of Dyan Reaveley and her rainbow of colors makes my soul happy.  This is my first time using the paints and I wanted to take them out for a spin to get to know how they work for me.

Watch Getting to Know Dylusions Paints in my Art Journal on YouTube.

So after playing with them what do I think?  They are dreamy creamy.  A little paint goes a long way.  They blend extremely well. They behave well with water.  They are the perfect surface for journaling.  They are just the right balance of opacity/translucence.  Well done Dyan!

Inspired by Sue Pelletier and the Pipette in an art journalI’m getting addicted to the pipette…not a pipe but a pipette loaded with waterproof ink.  Who hooked me on this? Sue Pelletier with her her new book Collage, Paint, Draw!

I’ve got a new video showing the whole process…including one very silly drawing that is not like the others over at CreateMixedMedia.com

I’m about to say something surprising…I’m giving away one of my new stencils and the details are below.  But that isn’t what surprised me.   Brown…I used brown.  Are you surprised?  I know I am!  And…get this…I apparently liked it so much that I had to wipe off the paint way more than I ever expected.  Perhaps it was my excitement over my latest stencils that overwhelmed my usual rainbow tendencies…

Not only can you see how I used a baby wipe with a stencil you’ll also find out what song went through my mind thanks to an Oops.  There’s always an Oops…
