Let's Play Twister Rev № 03: Experiments w/Layers & Mark-Making
A quick one today -- layers upon layers as per usual 😋 not mapping out in advance what goes where. Each iteration winds up completely different. When working with watercolor & gouache a mask (i.e. tape, frisket) allows you to reserve light & bright areas so they shine through at the end. The variable I've changed in the Twister experiments is the shape of the masked areas on the very first layer.
So I tried 3 shapes for paint masking: linear (Twister 01), circular (Twister 02), and wavy (Twister 03).
Arches watercolor paper: amzn.to/3vmh6AV
Painter's tape: amzn.to/3Shc93J

Painting Triangles № 08/100

Here's a page from my 100 Day project where I painted every day in gouache. Each day I settle in with my journal and colorful palette of paints and make something. It can be anything a simple page a chaotic page whatever. The key is to put brush to paper. On a good day I will tape the grid for the next day's page in advance so that I can just sit down and paint without any start-up stuff. blogg...
Painting Small Abstracts

Thought you might enjoy a relaxing painting session started by taping out a grid (sometimes I do these with taped grids for more crisp frames, sometimes with pencil lines only). Painted patches of color and added little boardwalks (could also be threads or bridges) to connect some areas as if they were waterways. Endlessly relaxing to paint. This video is at 2x real-time to give you a frame of ...
Art Journal Flip-Thru: 100 Days of Tiny Abstracts

Hi everyone! I thought you might enjoy a flip-thru of the three 5x8" moleskine journals I filled for my first 100 Day Project. In this project/challenge you define your own goal so I set out to paint a grid of tiny abstracts every day. This flip is my first 100 Day in 2021... and I enjoyed this so much that I did a similar project again in 2023 and 2024. I haven't recorded flips for the other t...

Painting Tiny Two Color Abstract Compositions

Creating tiny compositions with just two colors. What do you see? Pixelated landscapes, a glass mosaic, a board game, fabric swatches, reflections in skyscraper windows? Maybe a box of gumdrops! Sometimes I paint a grid free-hand (as in the previous video) and sometimes I paint a grid which I've masked* with tape (as in this video). I like both methods for different reasons. They look & feel di...
Painting Doodle Shapes in a Grid with Gouache & Watercolor

Echoes of the candyland game board, velvet & silk ribbons? A circus or county fair from a drone? Plastic inflatables at a summer pool party? A 3 minute speed-thru of a 2 hour drawing & painting session. So what's going on here? I had this idea of building a grid with colorful imaginary objects "behind" the lines. I think I met my goal of making a different graphic pattern in each individual cel...

Переглядів 2966 місяців тому
Another experimental page... a twist on twister! In this version I cut circles from tape and arranged as a random starting point. Those taped areas act as paint masks and they are like reserving brighter areas (the white of the watercolor paper) for later in the painting process.

Painting a Quandary of Questionable Quadrilaterals
Переглядів 2546 місяців тому
So I was in the mood to paint triangles, and they turned into wonky quadrilaterals of the somewhat rhombus kind! {also, secret notes & quotes}. Diagonal lines add a dynamic element to your work - a sense of playful movement. Here I'm painting with the same brush throughout so that the lines are consistent. As always, painting is the goal, and the outcome is whatever it is. Blog post w/more deta...

For you today, an experimental page (named after REM lyrics) where I put tape on the first layer not really in any artistic way, just random. That gives me brighter areas to work with later. (Note: you can cut painter's tape into shapes and those areas will remain the white of the paper). Working without a plan means that I'm not mapping out what goes where. One thing leads to another. I've bee...

Painting Dots in Circles

Some days easy peasy is the way to go mellow, low-key, you know, a mood-lifter. Here's how it works! With watercolor or gouache, paint dreamy blends with a larger brush (this is No. 8) and add dots galore with the same brush and a smaller brush. If you add dots on paint that is slightly wet, the dots will be soft & blurry. If you add dots on paint that is dry, the dots will be crisp and clear. ...

This was a fun one to make I challenged myself to fill an ordinary 3x5" index card with different patterns and worked very quickly so I wouldn't stop and analyze anything. I divided the card into little boxes and drew 70 different patterns with the Tomboy Fudenosuke! When using a brush pen, try changing the pressure, the way you hold the pen, the angle... endless possibilities. Tombow Fudenosuk...

How to Make a Tiny Handmade Accordion Book
Yummy page! I like how easy you make it look too! 💕
Thanks, Hanna! It will make great collage fodder, don't you think!?
Such a beautiful way to play.
I appreciate your kind words, Sharon! 🦋
Really love this!
Thank you Sharon! 💗
Awesome 👌
Thank you Pattie! 💛
These would make fantastic ceramic tiles - kitchen, bathroom, anywhere that needs a pop of colour! I'd definitely buy them!
That would be cool indeed -- at the blog I wrote about envisioning them as glass mosaic tiles! 🩷
Fabulous to watch your process! So many layers!
Thanks Thea! I appreciate your kind words!
What a wonderful work! 😍
Thank you! 🥰
❤ So yummy, all of the pages! Thanks for sharing the entire book pile!💕 Too bad the books are not holding together, that's always disappointing! 😥
The binding fell apart on one of the three journals as I was using it but the pages are still attached, fortunately. Hugs to you, Hanna!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 this inspired me to go paint straight away, thank you Tammy! ❤ Btw. The turquoise blue you use is so pretty and I can never find that kind of color, now I think it's missing from my paint box entirely.
If I have sparked a desire to paint -- I think that is a very good thing. If it is the color that looks like of like teal? I am almost sure it is W&N cobalt turquoise light gouache (pigment code PG50) so hopefully you can find something like that!
I really enjoyed this video Tammy. The music went well with it and the captions were a great way to explain your process. The thin lines and dots of paint are my favorite!
Thank you Lenna! I love getting carried away in the tiny details. 💚
I'm totally inspired now. Thanks!
Yay! Happy you're inspired!
I love these mini abstracts…fun, colorful, quick and relaxing to paint. And wow it all looks so cool, both as individual blocks of art or altogether as one piece. Great idea, thanks so much for sharing 🙂!
Cindy, It's an engaging way to create -- thank you!
Honestly Tammy, you’ve saved my life! I’ve been in a creative slump for YEARS now. I decided to participate in icad2024 and now I’m having fun playing with my art supplies for hours every day now! I think it’s because I’m using inexpensive, non-precious art supplies, and just playing. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁
Thank you Barbara 💚 I think the un-precious nature of the surface and the idea of play for the sake of play (whatever the end result) makes a difference. You're always so supportive and I'm happy that the challenge helped you get back into your art!!!
Is there somwhere to post what you have made and to see what others are up to?
Yes, for sure! We are posting at instagram, you can find a quick summary of how it works here: daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/icad-welcome (look for the TL;DR) and then follow the account dedicated to the challenge & index card art: @indexcardaday (previously I put all of the ICAD stuff under my account). You can see what's been posted under #dyicad2024 or in the tagged section on that account. And yes you're welcome to start any time!
Loved seeing the process of these little abstract paintings :)
Hope you have a lovely day! Thank you!
Loving the little abstract artworks! Very inspiring :)
Thank you for your kind words! It was a fun project!
What a lovely video. And It's so inspiring. 🥰
Thank you!
Amazing compositions!
Many thanks! 💙
Beautiful. Varied creations which I liked
Thank you 💛
I´m in...
So glad to see this starting up again…I have been away from my studio for tooooo long!
Glad you'll be joining the fun!
These are fabulous - love your use of color. And talk about tiny - were there 28 tiny squares on some of those pages? Wow. Which means you are making tiny marks - I'm not sure I can even think that small...
Thea, I was curious so I looked back and found some had like 40 -- it may be counterintuitive but the more I work in small format the more spacious the tiny squares feel. Thank you for your sweet comment!
Thanks Tammy, these are delightful. Are they all gouache/watercolor or are some of them done with your favorite inks?
Linda, these three journals are all gouache with a bit of watercolor. But no ink. That was the constraint I set for myself for the project. Thank you for your kind words!
These are lovely and whimsical, thank you for sharing.
What a sweet comment, thank you! 😊
Me again😁 do you have a video showing how you tape off the squares - and what kind of tape do you use please.
Hi Megan, I added a link to the materials in the description -- and if you go to this video ua-cam.com/video/purz44a1W2g/v-deo.html you can see the way the grid looks while I'm painting. I will be doing an online workshop later this year, here's the notification list: daisy-yellow.squarespace.com/creativity-form
@@DaisyYellowArt that’s great thank you. 😀
These are wonderful. What a fun variety. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Always a great project!
I'd like to follow and participate in this process. I have art journaled for years and never attempted ICAD. What is the best way to get the daily prompts?
Hi Gina I'll be posting the daily prompts (which are optional) one week at a time in these places: website: daisyyellowart.com instagram @gypsy999 and @indexcardaday More about how ICAD works at daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/icad-welcome
I always start this challenge but this year I’m DETERMINED to finish. 😊
Thank you Jennifer -- I bet you'll surprise yourself this year!
Love it!
Thank you!!! 💚💚💚
Fabulous ❤Just came over from your instagram and loving your UA-cam!! Might have a look at your old school blog as well 🤪☺️
Thank you Nathalie! I have been making more videos in the last several months but writing @ the blog is still my focus!
I’m excited to try this for the first time this year!
Just focus on a day at a time, you'll do great!
Love this challenge!
I hope this will open up your creative ideas as it has for me. Some prompts are challenging for me but I decide with each day to go with the challenge or morph it into something else more exciting to me. This way of practicing ideas using the elements of art is so much fun and takes me away from gettin ho-hum in my regular art practice opening up all kinds of creative possibilities.
Love this Tammy!!!!
Thank you Debbie! 💚
Fantastic exercise! I will try to share my take on this with you.
Becky, let me know how it goes -- the post over at the blog has more info if curious!
Love this idea. I do doodles in grids but don’t paint them like this. I’m ordered a round 6 brush and giving it a try! I need the brush practice. I always find you so inspiring - thank you for sharing
I find grids such an intriguing and inviting structure -- enjoy your #6 round ---> happy painting!
What an amazing idea...thank you
Caroline, Thank you for the kind words! I'm quite enamored with these experiments!
That would make the most fantastic tiled mural! I love the idea.
Ellie, What a cool way to look at it -- as tiles! Thank you!
I would still LOVE to have you tell your story - how you went from the corporate world to becoming a fabulous artist.
Barbara, It's sweet of you to ask. I never really know how to answer -- basically I started drawing and kept adding different kinds of art to the rotation -- and never stopped 😊 Let me know if there is a particular aspect you're curious about!
@@DaisyYellowArt I’ve heard you say that you started doodling while waiting for your kids to get out of school, etc. I’d just love to hear about the gradual evolution of your skills. What materials did you start out with? How did your practice develop?
@@barbaracimini1447 That helps a lot! I don't think I put it all in one place ever, so I'll mark that down as a blog post topic. Thank you! tg
I have to try behind the grid. Thanks for the inspiration.
Becky, thank you! Hope you try it!
#6 round is my brush best friend. I really like this grid idea. I may have to try it out in a sketchbook.
Thank you Deanna! The #6 can do just about anything! Enjoy the process if you try this one!
Absolutely wonderful to watch. Just when I think there’s no space for more you go ahead with several more layers. Amazing. Am going to try. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah take it to the outer limits (then keep going, maybe that's a good motto). Enjoy your explorations!! 💛💛💛
This is so freaking cool. I love it. I might have to try but am afraid I might just make a mess!
Might as well try & find out what happens! You can start with fewer layers til it feels more comfy. 💚
@@DaisyYellowArt I just tried it and it turned out pretty good! Thanks.
Great technique and layering!!
@@meganarline Glad you did! 🎉
@@deekilroy1746 Thank you! 💚
This is beautiful! ❤
Thank you 🩵💚💛
Love how it came out Tammy! Now I feel like painting too! 💙💛❤💚🧡💕🎨🌈💖
Hanna, it was very calming to just paint, paint, paint! Thank you! 🩵🩵🩵
You're so awesome, Tammy! I love everything you create. Thanks so much for sharing your creative ways!
Briana, thank you! You always leave the sweetest most supportive comments! 💚💚💚
A mess of colours headed to a fabulous ending. Loved it
Thank you!
Lovely as always!
Less, thank you! I hope you are doing OK 💚
@@DaisyYellowArt doing good here, glad to see more videos from you!!!
Yeah we go way back to the early days 💚 I got into filming mode late last year and just kept on going. For the short term it will be mostly w/c and gouache. I will pop over to your channel this week and see what you are up to! tg
@@DaisyYellowArt I've been diving back into my art journal and recording some of the stuff I set up for the after school program where I work now. Lots of fun art stuff. I have been searching out some of the folx I used to watch it was nice to see you pop up here. :)
Creating video is so time consuming so if you already have stuff set up it makes sense to do a few more! I film when the daylight is good and then edit when I can.
Wow - very fun, wild and colorful! Gotta try it! Thank you!
Yay! I hope you do! 💚
This is awesome and inspiring, Tammy! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Briana! Thank you! Now I'm writing a blog post about it! 💚
Thank you. It really is gorgeous!❤
You’re welcome 😊
Yummy layers….I need to paint!
Go for it, Tameko! 💚
