Hey guys !
I have a new video for you. I share with you how to use your Primary Elements pigments to turn them into a spray.
ColourArte has a ton of pigments available for you, and it is my favorite product ever. I can do so many different things with it 🙂
You know I love my sprays and stencils 😉
I hope it was useful 🙂 If you decide to make some, I would love to see your results ?
I am a little late sharing this new project video for ColourArte this week.
For some strange reasons, I was browsing my Youtube channel’s videos and how my style (and the videos) evolved since I started sharing them with you. Can you believe I now have more than 200 videos ? yup, I could not believe it either. My first video was shared in July 2010, when I did not have a Studio and was creating on our dining room table.
One thing that is like a red thread is the passion behind each of them, and the power of being guided to make art, no matter the form it takes.
My most viewed video is the one where I share with you the cling wrap technique. I wanted to revisit it to be closer to what I do now, this is why I used ColourArte’s pigments, the Primary Elements.
It’s really easy to do and does not need a lot of supplies. Of course, you can do it with spray ink as well 😉
I do hope it will get you inspired to get messy, and to have fun while doing it. I think I will do it in my Art Journal soon 😉 It is a good starting point. If you create something following my video, please share with me the results in the comments: I would love to see your take on it !
For this project I created for ColourArte, I really wanted to see how the Primary Elements, these amazing pigments powders from ColourArte, would work on a different surface. And I really wanted to make something with Paperclay.
My heart was pretty thick so I had to wait a couple of days before going on with the project, but it was worth the wait ! I absolutely fell in love with the Primary Elements pigments, they are highly pigmented and come in more than 100 of colours. (stay tuned for a video about them coming this month).
I really hope you will give it a try, if so please don’t be shy to share the result with me 🙂
List of the supplies I used:
This week, in my video for ColourArte, I am bringing you a fun little DIY project. You can make it for your home or even as a different gift.
For my next mini class, I will share simple ways to create themed ornements, so this was a good try for me regarding this. It does not take much effort, none of the sphere is exactly the same as the other, and you won’t find them in your neighbor’s tree (unless you gifted it ahaha).
I used plastic spheres because this is what I had on hand, but you can of course use glass ones if you prefer.
I wanted to show you three different ways to take the ColourArte’s products into a new level, but without being intimidating. These three ornements are very original (in my opinion).
When it comes to non-porous surfaces, clear gesso truly is your best friend to prepare it for whatever medium you decide to play with, this is why I coated two out of my three spheres with some. Plus, for you the texture junkie out there, it is a good excuse to start building some out there *wink wink*.
The first one is made with clear gesso, then Radiant Rain sprays.
The second one was clear gesso, but then painted with a very dark color (Payne’s Gray from Dick Blick) and Silk Glazes.
The last one was really fun to do because I got to use my Gelli Plate with coffee filters (but tissue paper would do the same) and some Silks, I show you how to create your glaze with Primary Elements as well.
