I started off with Cathy’s suggestion to paint some pages, so I used up some gouache on my palette from a previous session. While I was waiting for them to dry, I started experimenting with the Gelli Plate… I had been wanting to try it with soft pastels and it was quite fun but as a result of experimenting I didn’t finish the day with any finished work.

Experimenting tonight with the "painting" the trees with light while shooting the night sky. This is looking straight up at the night sky through a small break in the forest canopy where a cabin sits. The taller trees are probably about 100' tall, and I'm about 10' off the ground.

January 8, 2019.
I have been playing around and learned something new on Photoshop Elements (SHOCKING) - picture taken at Busch Gardens.
This was interesting to do. A small glass bowl was used to hold the 2% milk, (higher fat is said to work better). Then the neon food color was added, then a q-tip with dish soap was added to make the chemical reaction with the fat in the milk. The twirls were added with a toothpick. Original color, no post edit for color. Sunlight streaming through the glass added its own texture.
CALLA EXPERIMENT
This was a very pretty watercolor, until I got my 'freak on' and morphed into my ''EXPERIMENTAL MODE''....I simply went wild with that ELEGANT WRITER PEN and a little Pastel too, on top of my watercolor. And if you think Watercolor brings lots of fun surprises...you should try the Elegant Writer Pen...:) ♥
I thought I would put this little tutorial about the Elegant Writer Pen up again...:)
ELEGANT WRITER...made by...www.speedballart.com
I use mostly size 1.3mm Extra Fine
I bought mine at my local Hobby Lobby arts & crafts store, near the Calligraphy section.
They are available online at various art sources also.
The cost is around three dollars.
There are several ways to use these pens in sketching/painting.
I usually draw first in pencil, then very lightly go over the pencil line with the pen, skipping some of them, not to overdo the ink.
I then barely touch the edge of the ink line with a wet(with water) brush which results in an explosion of the ink line.
You can also thoroughly wet the ink for another effect.
Once the ink has been wet with water and dried it will not ''explode'' again.
Once it dries you can add more ink if needed...and repeat procedures.
You can add watercolor after the ink has dried, or even before...but be careful doing this as ''mud'' comes easily...:)
You'll want to experiment and play with it before using it on a ''serious'' sketch or painting...:)
I have a ''set'' on my page here for all my Elegant Writer sketches & paintings.
Karlyn Holman has some wonderful examples and info. in her most recent book ''WATERCOLOR WITHOUT BOUNDARIES''...One of my favorite Art books of all time...♥♥♥
