Creative Contrast: Watercolor vs Burlap Art Journaling
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- In my latest art video tutorial, I dove into the captivating world of the Dina Wakley Media Journal. Opening the journal to a fresh spread, I embarked on a creative journey, crafting two distinct layouts using contrasting materials and techniques. On one side, I explored the delicate dance of watercolors on watercolor paper, complemented by the vibrant strokes of Neo Color 2 pastels. Meanwhile, the other page presented a unique challenge as I navigated the textured surface of burlap, employing a stencil in a coordinating color scheme. The juxtaposition of these two diverse pages highlights the beauty that emerges when artistic styles collide. Watch as I navigate the intricacies of burlap, adding layers and elements to create a visually stunning and harmonious spread in my Dina Wakley journal.

Dang woman, you are such a delight to watch and listen to. This journaling is something I need to do too and, set myself a daily time to do art each day that I can. You are so inspiring and I absolutely Love how you never get upset. What a healthy attitude you possess and I know it’s rubbing off on a whole bunch of us “Denise Love” groupies. You absolutely make my day brighter. Thank you 🙏🏻🎨🥰
Took me a lot of years to figure out what works for me… letting go of my expectations helped a lot. I used to leave my art table mad… now I lean into the joy of slapping paint down and being happy no matter where we end up. Some days it is a hot mess… and you can still save it by punching out hearts 🤣… so glad you are on this journey with me!! Thank you! 🥰
I just love how excited you get when the effects are revealed! It’s actually very inspiring. It’s a great reminder that Art should be fun and bring us joy; what other people think is not important. Our joy is. Love you.
You’re the best!! Thank you! 🥰
I just love you Denise, you making me so happy with your excitement! I love what you do and you really are wonderfully inspiring 💖 xx
You’re the best!! Thank you! 🥰
Omgoodness! So much excitement! You just sealed my want for a journal like that. Thank you for always showing up! I really enjoy you.
So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you! 🥰
Thank you, Denise, for sharing your art and your joy with us. You take away the fear and leave the fun in creating! Love both pieces.!
So glad you loved these! Thank you! 🥰
I think some gold accents on the burlap page would be beautiful and help tie the two pages together. The punchenella really brought the first page together. Another great job!
Great idea!! Thank you! 🥰
So, so, so beautiful with the pastel colours! The burlap stencil is quite striking. 💕
That came out way better than I expected!! Thank you! 🥰
Okay, so it is a couple of months after you’ve posted this video, and I am a new subbie and binge watching your videos.
Wow! How did I miss all this jummy stuff? I am totally hooked! Thanks Denise, love all your work. Very inspiring. Don’t stop!!! 🌻🎶💃
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you! 🥰
After watching you create these past several months, I’ve come to think that an awful lot of folk might would benefit more from subscribing to your channel than taking Prozac and the like. Plus, art is incredibly cathartic. Yup, a dose of DL art, laughter and joy would certainly be my pick. ❤😜
You’re awesome. That made my day!! Thank you! 🥰🤗😁
I always get something creative for my own work when I watch your videos. Beautiful pieces in your journal. Appreciate your generous and creative spirit. Happy student of your Klimt art study, too. Thank you, Denise!
So glad you are enjoying these!! And Klimt!! I still feel so inspired after doing those studies! Thank you! 🥰
That burlap thing! Amen to Art!!
It came out cool! Thank you! 🥰
You are so fun to watch. Your excitement is infectious! Thank you
Oh thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Love the colours of your abstract ‘bubbles’ Denise and the gold always does it for me! It just gives a piece of work that ‘pizazz’!! I loved the aubergine stencilling and would personally leave the edge because it looks like a frame 😊Fantastic to watch you paint as always 😍
Thank you! 🥰
Very exciting!🙏🏻❤️🌹🎶 you definitely put it all together! Inspired and beautiful!⭐️
Thank you! 🥰
Love. Love. Loved the marks from the shelf liner!
That shelf liner was cool! Thank you! 🥰
This was fun and inspirational. I need to get more of what's in my head actually down on paper. My life can sort of be separated between living situations and interests. 3 residences ago was piano and lace making. 2 residences ago was lace making and dulcimer lessons. The current residence had piano, ukulele, and harmonica lessons until the pandemic; knitting when I retired; lots of drawing and painting now. Books and crocheting and photography woven throughout.
I go between hobbies too! Keeps life interesting! 😊 Thank you! 🥰
Every time you say Dina’s name it reminds me of Dinah Shore 😂~no worries, I know you know how to say it now based on the comments, but it tickles me! When you said you needed your page on the other side I said “flip your book around” you’ll be set! I usually just stencil on the burlap pages, Dina’s books have been out for awhile, I need to go back and revisit mine and see if I have any blank pages left. A heartfelt thank you Denise, you have pulled me out of my art slump! Cheers 🥂
Ah well… I try… there are a couple more videos already made with the wrong pronunciation since I work ahead… sorry! So glad you enjoyed this!! Thank you! 🥰
Oh good grief I’m loving this whole set today….the stencil on burlap - totally brilliant 💜💜💜. I am so anxious to play with my new Masha set - this has totally inspired me. Love those colors you chose today - gorgeous!!!💜
So glad you loved this one!! Thank you! 🥰
I bought this journal when you showed us yours, and I wasn't sure what to do with the burlap pages. Thanks for the ideas!
I have a few more ideas coming up after working in it for a bit! You’ll love it. Thank you! 🥰
Love this journal. Have you ever considered compiling a UA-cam of your bloopers that include your "whoops, i didn’t mean for that to happen" moments 😂. That would be priceless.
Haha! I hadn’t thought of that! 😂 Thank you! 🥰
I really enjoy each and every video you post! I love when you say "yummyness". You put so much joy and creative insight into your projects. I appreciate everything you do and look forward to seeing the variety and beauty you put out into the world. Thank you, Denise Love for the creative that you are! Inspiring and so needed.
You’re the best! That really made my day. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Who knew burlap and a stencil would look so good?! Great video, I just love listening to you natter on while I'm doing my own thing in the background. Thanks for sharing your time and inspiration. (I too, am a Denise groupie).
Right? That burlap worked out fantastic with a stencil! I was surprised too! So glad you enjoyed this!! Thank you! 🥰
Really loved both outcomes and your fav colours and loved the muisic. Thx Denise
Thank you! 🥰
That was great fun! And as always……..Punchenella!!
Right? Haha! Thank you! 🥰
I think it would be fun to make Klimt-like mark making in gold around the border of your burlap stencil. It would tie the two pieces together. Yum!
It would! Thank you! 🥰
Well this video was just perfect for my can't sleep at 3:a.m. loved that burlap page!! Actually I loved the whole spread! I want to get a big journal now! But shopping at 3:00 a.m. is probably not wise🤪Thanks Denise for another fabulous video!🎉❤
So glad you loved it!! Thank you! 🥰
Love the burlap stencil! Beautiful pieces. Thanks Denise 😊❤
Glad you like them! Thank you! 🥰
You knocked it out of the park as always Denise. I echo the thoughts everyone else is expressing. Your joy is absolutely contagious. Your enthusiasm is inspiring and your ability to "just go for it" gets me every time! My art journey has changed so much, because of you Denise. You gave me back the joy in creating. That's a lost art for many creative people - pun intended!
You’re the best! Really made my day. Thank you! 🥰
Great texture and color, Denise. Can’t have too much gold IMO. I’m thinking the piece of shelf liner I use to open jars may have to be transferred to my art room but I may have more stashed elsewhere. I love the aubergine on the burlap. Thanks for sharing.
That shelf liner makes a cool pattern! So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you! 🥰
Burlap page was inspiring so glad you did it !
That page turned out cool! Glad you liked it. Thank you! 🥰
Denise, this is brilliant! So glad you decided to do the burlap too. Your joy and excitement is contagious, and now I must paint!
So glad!! Thank you! 🥰
Love it! I have to get some of those stencils! Really appreciate the close ups at the end.
Glad you like them! Thank you! 🥰
Love the burlap. I have some burlap paper and anxious to see what I can do with it. Thanks Denise.
The burlap is unusual. I’ve done a couple now that are coming up. So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you! 🥰
Loving this video! Thank you so much! Had to pause it--you just took up the shelf liner Wow! ❤ Now I have to search for my shelf liner but back to your video first 😊🖌️🎨
This was fantastic! Love these pages! Beautiful! I love my journal and was wondering what in the world would I do with burlap! You are so inspiring. I appreciate you very much!
I have a picture of a beautiful sunset that I want to use as my color palette for an abstract in my journal but just not sure. I've been reminding myself of your words "Be brave" but forgot what you told us about gesso so thank you for that! Have a great day!
That shelf liner makes a cool pattern! So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you! 🥰
Love how these turned out!!
Thank you! 🥰
I so enjoy your videos and I’m in the middle of your Klimt class on Skillhare!
I'm so glad you are enjoying them... I still feel so inspired after studying Klimt! Can't wait to see what you create from that class. Thank you! 🥰
I just love your inspiration.
Thank you! 🥰
So awesome!! Love that burlap!!
Burlap is a challenge! Thank you! 🥰
@@2lilowlsstudio I’m sure it is but it has given me great ideas to try!! You are so inspirational!
Love these pieces. You could paint a white edge around the flowers and paint window Paynes on the flowers to make it look like you are looking through a window at the flowers. Happy Valentines Day😊
A painted window would be fun! Great idea! Happy Valentine’s Day!! 🥰🤗💕
What fun!!! ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Great paint day!
Yes it was! Thank you! 🥰
this is brilliant, I love it ☺☺☺
Thank you! 🥰
Awesome paint day Denise! I love the addition of the punchenalla and the burlap page!!
That burlap is a different surface to try to work on, but it came out cool! Thank you! 🥰
Thank you so much Denise. I'm so so happy I found your art. It's funny..I save a lot of stuff. Even before I started art I always wanted to re purpose things. So the minute you said shelf liner I ran to the garage in my box. Three different kinds I saved!! Your work is inspiring and so much fun. Can't wait to try the shelf liners.
Shelf liner is cool!! Now it’s good you saved those!! Thank you! 🥰
Both pages are so awesome!! Thank so much for the inspiration! The watercolor is just beautiful!! I love all the mark making. 😍😍😍
So glad you love them! Thank you! 🥰
Love!!!
Thank you! 🥰
So fun… my husband always asks what you’re up to because you’re having so much fun!
Haha! I love that!! Thank you! 🥰
You are a butterfly! 😊 So fun to hear your excitement for the shelf liner effect! ❤The❤burlap❤
So glad you enjoyed these!! Thank you! 🦋🦋🦋
Love both sides of this. I have this journal and at first was intimated by the heavy pages and the burlap, but it's a nice challenge to create on for sure. Love how the stencil ended up and would look great as that flap you talked about!
I've worked on that one some more and it has worked out great cut down a little as a flap - that is coming up. those pages are a challenge - I tackled the canvas today too and that was interesting - that one will be coming up too. Thank you! 🥰
I have this journal. On the burlap pages, I take a collage or abstract done on watercolor and glue it to the burlap. Of course,myou have to have another piece to glue on the back at the same time.
I have some fun pages coming up where I painted on one side and glued fun things on the other. I think that is the best for those pages - no way to paint both sides really and it look good. 😊
I’ve quit using splatter. Instead I take may posca pen, usually in gold, and hold it loosely at the top and let it bounce across the page. I like the effect better.
Great tip! Thank you! 🥰
As always, I do find your videos inspiring. I would love to know the sources of your textured papers. Thanks
I found them at the art store - Binders - they carry them in the store. 😊
I've had this journal for about 4 years and have never used it, now I feel brave enough and perhaps will give it a try today! Thanks for your inspiration. Happy heart day❣ Could you have turned it upside down so the white page was on the other side for you to paint on?
I could have… didn’t occur to me while filming 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! 🥰
Great video, I always enjoy and get inspired 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🥰
DENISE LOVE, THE END ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥰
Where did you get the set of 36 colors ? I don’t see that option on her site
Her selections vary - I look to see what she has every so often and saw it. 😊
Denise I just love your tutorials/videos and have a playlist designated just for you. I saved one of your videos about sheet protectors for your watercolor art and cannot find anywhere. Would you be able to tag me on the video please.
Thanks again for inspiring me ❤️
It was probably in an art haul - I don't remember where that might have been, they all run together for me since I make so many videos. You can find my favorite supplies under every video. Clear Sleeves Storage Bags - amzn.to/3R5GbIj
@@2lilowlsstudio thank you so much I will find it!
Are these journals available? If not, will they be available again or on different sizes? Thank you.
You’ll just have to look around. I don’t know what the status on them are. You might ask Dina Wakley since she is the one who does the journals.
Love your videos… just a comment (a la Posca-gate) … Dina pronounces her name Dee-na :)
I know now… but several videos are already made with the wrong pronunciation. Sorry! 😊
I think you should do some mark making in the margins of the stencil instead of cutting your pages.
Thank you! 🥰
Please source if your water colors….beautiful..???
I post all the supplies in the description below the video for you! 😊
Do you do happy mail?
Hmm... not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if I give my address out on youtube? No, I do not. Thank you! 🥰
@@2lilowlsstudio I follow a lot of paper craft and artist on line. Some of them have a PO Box where their followers can send them art supplies, art trading cards, paint samples, paper cut outs for collaging etc. Then when they are received, they do a show using some of the materials their followers send them. No, I would never ask anyone for their address on line for any reason. It's just a fun way to build community.
@@2lilowlsstudio Happy Mail is the concept of having a PO Box to receive supplies from followers then they are featured in a video. I follow several artist and paper crafters who use this concept. This is where artist trading cards are shared, or new products that someone discovered, or for paper crafter's new papers or collage material is traded. I think Pamela Covey has done this a few times, she is out of Montana, and there are several paper crafters like Nicole at Relax Cut Glue. I did not mean to sound weird like I was asking for your personal information. Sorry if it came out that way. I would never ask for personal information form anyone. I am a huge respecter of privacy.
@@robinandersen4181Ah! I do not have a PO Box. I have had several people ask for my address on here… so that is why I thought that. 😊
Love splatter!!
Me too! 😊
