Today’s artist is Kae Pea from Rubbermoon – so exciting! She shared 3 different recipes and I picked the one that suited my mood today. I had fun with this, and will do it again.

Today’s artist was Rachel Greig from Darkroom Door. I love her work and, as my process is similar, this felt like affirmation to keep doing what I enjoy. So I did…but she reminded me to haul the Distress Stains out as I tend to reach for paint first.

Today Gwen Lafleur inspired us with an assemblage piece. I do flat artwork when I’m art journaling so took the subject matter, a bird, and the general style and worked with that.

I love Dina Wakley’s work, and also her paints – they are a nice consistency and great colours, so I was excited about today’s inspiration. The project was quite different to what I’d normally do, which is the whole point of Creative Jumpstart. I painted a journal page as the background, then a loose page of marks for using as contrast, then tackled the face on a second loose sheet of paper. I’m not good with faces, so printed one of the internet to use as a guide. Once it was all dry, I tore the face in half and combined with pieces of the mark making paper. I’m pleased with the final result, and will probably try this approach again.
