Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 14 + 29 [ad]⠀
⠀
When it comes to online workshops and events like Creative JumpStart, I believe in using what you already have at home. ⠀
⠀
However, sometimes a teacher shares about an art supply you don't have but would love to add to your arsenal.⠀
⠀
Like the water-soluble graphite pencil @jodiohl used in her CJS video. I've wanted one for so long now, that I skipped the lesson and put the pencil on my to-buy list.⠀
⠀
@artnewwave, on the other hand, shared how he creates art using items from the hardware store.⠀
⠀
I'm sure we have some spackle somewhere in the house, but why would I use that when I already have more texture pastes in my stash than I will ever use.⠀
⠀
I decided that yes, I was going to use wall paint (emerald, from our basement cupboard) and yes, I could use that drywall tape that I've kept in my glue drawer since forever, but no, I wasn't going to look for the spackle.⠀
⠀
And, this is what I ended up with!⠀
⠀
Thanks, John, for the out-of-the-box lesson.⠀
⠀
As said, I'm saving Jodi's lesson for when I finally get my hands on the pencil. Which means... that for now, I have only one more lesson to go.⠀
⠀
Only one! 😱😱😱⠀

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 27 [ad]⠀
⠀
With four more CJS days to do and only three pages left in my journal, I have to resort to extremer measures.⠀
⠀
So for my take on @autourmwa's excellent CJS video lesson on layering I decided to work on the cover!⠀
⠀
The cover was already @gelliarts gel printed from the start, so I only had to add more layers on top.⠀
⠀
I used stencils designed by Abs himself and stamps by @loolabellesartystuff, both for @aallandcreate.⠀
⠀
Thanks, Abs for the super fun video and for helping me rediscover my Inktense pencils!⠀

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 26 [ad]⠀
⠀
Whenever your page or print misses a little something, neon is always the answer.⠀
⠀
Mary Beth Shaw (@mbshaw) used neon orange in her fab CJS 2020 video. Following her lead, I used fluorescent pink for this abstract page.⠀
⠀
Fluorescent colours never show up in photos the way they look in reality. So you'll have to take my word for it and imagine the pink blobs a lovely fluor pink!⠀
⠀
I admire Mary Beth's layered abstract paintings and collages. She makes creating her work look super easy. However, I know it's not. ⠀
⠀
There's a thin line between 'overworked' and 'just right'. I, for instance, should have stopped way before this spread ended up the state it's now in. ⠀
⠀
Funnily enough, I felt restricted by the size of my journal again. In other words: maybe I really should try doing some 'on the fly' experiments on a much larger scale!⠀
⠀
We'll see.⠀
⠀
Thanks so much, Mary Beth! I always learn something from watching your videos and this time, was no exception! ⠀
