15 minutes of mixed media
Thursday, March 6, 2014 at 5:00AM Here you go - this week's take on my 15 minutes of mixed media - a lesson in art and time management!
I like this week's take. It is bright and bold! I am working in this art journal and love it! I started again this week with a blank page, an extra challenge for me. I prefer too, and usually start with a background, making the creative process that much easier. The blank page is teaching me to be bold and to not let the timer scare me!
SUPPLIES THIS WEEK-------> Golden Heavy Body Acrylic in Fluorescent Pink, Golden Fluid Acrylic in Diarylide Yellow and Golden Fluid Acrylic inUltramarine Blue, Apple Barrel Craft Paints in White Gloss and Key West, Dylusions Spray Ink in Funky Fuchsia, Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Ripe Persimmon, Painters Brand Paint Pens in White, Black, Red, Orange, and Hot Pink. I also used stencils, a heat embosser, a pencil, a medium point black Sharpie pen, one of my hand carved stamps, a TUL ultra fine permanent black marker, a paintbrush and an old gift card.
Here are a few other journal pages I created using this technique-------> Click on the images below to see how these journal pages were created using 15 minutes of mixed media.

I love this, your colour choices are so juicy and filled with happiness! Creating art journal page in 15 minutes... I'll have to "steal" this idea from you. :) --I hope you don't mind. Thank you for sharing.

wow Cristina- very cool! They look so neat! I have cut my own stencils too - I was not so smart and started with a pretty tricky one -haha! You can see it here ---> http://raemissigman.squarespace.com/blog/2013/9/13/mini-tutorial-homemade-flower-stencil.html

You used the Painters! I almost bought them the other day but didn't as I'd not seen anyone use them. (Tax season = no blog surfing *lol*) Now I'm going to get them!
Love your pages!!!
LOVE LOVE THIS!! So happy you started with a blank page, so cool to see it come together!
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial! I followed it to decorate the cover of my lettering journal.
Rae, I love watching these videos of your creative process. What kind of paint is in the Paint pens you are using? Is it acrylic or oil based?
