Bold Vibrant Abstract -lesson on Paint Flow, Blending & Cropping choices #mixedmedia #artjournal

My goal in this video is to 1) show you the FUN of paint flow 2) show how to use Oil Pastel sticks for vibrant colour boost and blending 3) three choices as we work on great areas to crop a large painting into smaller ones...and how dramatically it changes how you see things. #mixedmedia #artjournal I USED: -25%Cotton watercolour paper Cold Press 9x12" 300 g weight -Golden Matte Medium - for coating the paper at the beginning - any brand is fine -Golden Molding Paste - any brand is fine -FW Daler Rowney Acrylic Inks: Indian Yellow, Flame Orange, Purple Lake -Liquitex Acrylic Ink: Naphthol Crimson -Pre-mixed blue in Fine Liner tube: Golden High Flow Mangnese Blue with Fluid White *Fine Line tubes can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08512F6HK?r... OIL PASTEL STICKS: Yellow Deep Mandarin Red Light Pale Blue Paul Rubens Oil Sticks from Amazon:: https://a.co/d/grnBVwG *Important Note: 1) I encourage you to wear gloves 2) These oil sticks sit wonderfully on the SURFACE of a watercolour or Acrylic painting but may require special treatments to make them 'Archival' for SELLING. I suggest you contact the companies that sell oil sticks (especially since they have chemicals & wax in them). I am no expert on the use of oil sticks-for ensuring a painting is archival. I only use them on paintings for my home or my art journal projects. For my Youtube channel I am playing and experimenting with many products to see the results. ** I suggest simply letting your painting dry a week - the oil stick medium seems to harden and become fairly SET. It may take longer depending on your environment. To me, it seems SET when it no longer smudges when you touch it.
