Really wanted to play with my neglected art supplies...and also do something fun. So back to the birdie playbook! *winks*
Played with acrylic paints, acrylic markers, water-soluble pencils and coloured pencils. :)

Monday
Mixed Media Monday - first eye drawing of the month
Finally strong-armed myself to drawing an eye over the weekend. *LOL*
Even took out an old watercolour palette to play....:)
Mixed Media Monday - finally back to eye drawing practice
It's been a long while since I last drew an eye...last October actually. Strong armed myself back into it last week...and drew again this week. :)
A little rusty but still enjoying the process...
And this little travel tin of watercolours was awesome to have in my travel art kit....which needs to be downsized further because my new travel haversack is a lot smaller.
Do you travel with an art kit?
Mixed Media Monday - playing with watercolours and coloured pencils on my eye drawings
Since the paper in my new sketchbook is a bit thicker, I decided to see how much water it can take. The first layer is done with watercolours...and then finished with coloured pencils.
The paper does buckle a little and you can't really lift the colour off (since it's not watercolour paper) but with most of the "skin" part done, the eye drawing took significantly less time to complete *high fives all around*,
Happy week ahead friends!
Mixed Media Monday - more fun birds from the play book
Who knew birdies were the way to go when it came to getting back to my mixed media supplies? *winks*
Yep. Used my Faber Castell gelatos and Pitt pens. Along with Holbein coloured pencils and Posca acrylic paint pens.
Happy week ahead friends!
P/s: Never knew there were so many types of colourful birds that I could draw/paint! Love that my little birdie play book is filling up nicely. :)
Mixed Media Monday - a mixed media upcycled decorated box
Hello friends! I have been getting back into my mixed media supplies...even glued some paper scraps with gel medium and played with my acrylic paints for the background of this upcycled box (*yay...go me!).
And then I pretty much went a little crazy with the fun scrap bits. :)
Lots of packaging bits too...
Hope I get to fill this box up with goodies and make someone's day.
Happy week ahead friends!
Mixed Media Monday - sweetheart paper bag
Didn't feel like digging through my paper scraps so I just went with random stuff around my desk..even took out some highly-neglected coloured mists, buttons and bling. Note to self: It was fun...do it again soon!
Mixed Media Monday - Let's upcycle a cardboard envelope for happy mail
It's been a while...but for this project, I played with gesso, acrylic paints, gelatos, stencils and gold mist! *high fives all around*
I started with this cardboard envelope courtesy of Amazon Japan. And decided to do a mixed media happy mail package.
Added a mat for the recipient's name and addy...
....then adorned the "frame" with fussy-cut elements.
Happy week ahead friends!
Mixed Media Monday - another decorated kraft bag
Happy happy Monday! For this week's Mixed Media Monday, we are decorating another Kraft bag! *winks*
Mixed Media Monday - mixed media bird
Happy Monday friends! Since you know I love birdies but always "struggle" to draw/paint them in the right proportions (read: my birds are always a tad chubby...*winks*), I've decided that I shall devote some time in the second half of 2023 to get a little better at birds *uplifting music plays in the background*.
Mixed Media Monday - bird painting
Well friends, you know the birdie will emerge sooner or later right? *winks*
Happy week ahead! :)
Mixed Monday Monday - an eye with watercolours and coloured pencils
Hello friends! Really miss the daily eye sketches with coloured pencils now that I've completed 2 sketchbooks...so I painted an eye in.watercolour and refined it with coloured pencils! Super fun! :)
Have a great week ahead!
Mixed Media Monday - vintage-inspired decorated box
So I've been getting back to playing with mixed media again! Here's this week's Mixed Media Monday project - a vintage-inspired decorated box. :)
I started off with this Fresh box (somebody bought skincare recently...*winks*). They've changed the design. Previously it had a separate lid. Now the lid is attached to the back of the box...which makes it a little tricky to decorate the sides. So I focused the design on the top lid.
Then I adhered all the dimensional elements before spraying with a gold mist.
It was so much fun creating dimensional collages. :)
Happy week ahead friends! :)
Mixed Media Monday - Let's get back to the eye sketches
Did I mention that I started my daily eye sketches 2 weeks ago? Well, that was a false alarm. *LOL* I think I did 3 and stopped. Just stupid to add something to my plate that was already overflowing with life plus CNY prep. But here we are, trying again today. :)
Happy week ahead friends!
