I am still sharing some small scale art that I turned into cards and it is the second part of a series of three small scale abstract art projects. Series art is on my mind as I think it is something I am going to try to do more of this year, but I tell you all about it in the video!

I’d love to learn to draw a flower to use as a focal point for my cards as you have done here. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am glad you like it!
Beautiful card, Kim! It was very interesting to listen to you. I also started with paper crafts and cards. I´m so new, still, to mixed media, that I´ve just been all over the place, lol. Last year changed everything, because the illness spread to both of my hands. This year I want to find a way to create with my disabilities, so that it´s "good enough" and doesn´t give me more pain. My word for the year is balance. Tfs, Fia xx
Oh I think you definitely need to be all over the place when you start something new! Got to try it all to know what you will like don't you?! I really hope you find that way to create with no pain this year Fia, and that you get the balance that you need!
I am going to focus on using sewing to add texture and layers to my cards and art journals. Thanks for sharing!
Ooo lovely! Great focus!
I would love to work on doodling faces (and getting proportions more correct) on top of loose watercolour-ey backgrounds. Sort of a floaty dreamy style and colour palette. Another wish is to be able to embrace getting messy more. I admire people who paint with their fingers and be ok/not freak out over it! I also want to draw animals especially woodland creatures and birds. I really like your idea of creating a series of work and I look forward to seeing what comes out of your paintbrushes pens and hands 😊🎨
Oo wonderful Rachel, lots of things on your list that are close to my arty heart! I hope you manage to focus on a few and get them where you want them this year! 😍🎨🖌🖍🖊
Lovely work Kim - sorry I missed it till now - but better late than never! Thank you ;-) keep well.
Don't worry and it is nice to see you. I hope you are doing ok and thank you!
Im excited for your series this yr im a jane of all trades i have all differany kinds if hobbies and different kinds of art supplies i enjoy but see y its important to at least for a little while focus on one medium so your not stuck on beginner or intermediate with everything lol
Thanks Tiffany! I definitely am a Jane of all trades too, I think I even used to use that as the tag line in my Twitter 😂 So we shall see how the series idea goes this year 🎨😀
💗💗💗love it
Thank you Ruth! 💜🎨
Really love this , I would love to do more things like this , learn how to draw flowers other than daisy lol,,, xxxx 🌼🌺🌸🦋🐛🐝
Oh flowers are so useful aren't they?! Funnily enough I am just planning a floral month for June on my Patreon page. I've been taking lots and lots of flower photos and I love turning them into drawings and mixed media projects so I thought it might be time for a flower frenzy over there! 🌼🌺🌸
This piece is my favorite by far Kim. What a beautiful card. 😍 ❤ 💕 The flower is gorgeous.👍 TFS
Thank you! I reckon you might see this flower again in some form 💜🌹🎨
I'm a mixed media, abstract artist. I've been making what I call a tribe of various humanoid type characters in my work and now this year (2019) I want to start world building for them in various pieces. So abstract trees, flower, buildings, etc...
Ooo I just love that! Wonderful Thomas what a great focus for this year, come back and let me know how you get on!
Thanks for sharing, Kim. I'd like to actually MAKE some art, so far I seem to be stuck on watching - a fear of failure I think. I've always been interested in doodles, but am never happy when I try some. I'll go check out your Inktober videos because I like the sound of a daily play.
Keeping a daily doodle and sketching habit works really well at getting you through the fear! Remember you don't have to show it to anyone and don't be over critical of your own work 💚
I like the flower. It is beautiful. I would definitely have to sketch it first. Practice my drawing skills (?).
Great focus, That is high on my list, I think it is always high on my list 😂😂😂
Beautiful :)
Thank you!
Love this piece, especially the flower.
I'm just having fun trying lots of different mediums, and trying different things, so I could be making a card using stamping and die cutting, or painting and collaging an ATC, or working in one of my art journals with stencils and texture paste. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. I used to use acrylics many years ago, but just used them as they came, so it was a revelation to me when I picked them up again, to learn other ways. I'd never considered adding water to them, to use like watercolours or making sprays, for example! Haha! And I stopped using my fingers to add paint when I was a child, but it's one of my favourite things now, hence my UA-cam name!
But the important thing is I'm having fun, it's all a great big adventure. I feel sad for those people, like a friend of mine, who are too scared to start, in case it goes "wrong". I've tried to explain to her that it's only paint and paper and can be thrown away if she doesn't like it, or painted over, but she's frozen by fear. It's so sad that she's missing out on so much, because she's afraid of something that doesn't matter.
Oh that is a shame isn't it? I have heard similar stories and it makes me sad too, you can but hope that they work their way through. We are so good at putting up barriers to stop ourselves doing things aren't we?! Oh there are just so many glorious art things too do 😍 I am really glad you are enjoying them and having fun exploring and of course getting Covered in Paint! Perfect!
This is such a beautiful piece of work Kim! I notice your paints by your side...What is that that you use as a palette? How do you then store that paint when you have finished working? Thank you for the amazing work you share with us, it is so inspirational. 😊🌻🧡
hiya Clari, so I quite often use a piece of plastic as my palette, I had a couple of left over tabs from a box organiser and I just adopted them as my palette. I don't tend to leave any paint over when I am working with acrylic paint, I will use up the leftovers on another project or in my junk journal. I do have a stays-wet palette, but I only use that for pieces that might take several days. But not for small pieces or art journal pages that I finish in a session.
Love the card and enjoyed listening to your explanation of how you create. I would like to be better at hand lettering and need to spend more time on the doodles like you do.
😘 thank you! I've been thinking about it for a while now so I thought I would share 🤣 Love your focusing things. Do you think you can carve out some time to do them? I hope you can!
I love your videos. I have a 14year old grand daughter who loves art and especially loves drawing flowers. Can I send her a link to your videos, or do I need to pay and sign her up?
Thanks Rosemary. My public videos are free for everyone. If it's a Patreon video then it is private and only for active members, so can't be shared to non-members. If you aren't sure which the video is then give me a shout with the title of the video and I can let you know if it is public or private. 💖
Oh I just loved this, your flower 🌷 was beautiful,,,. I would love to improve on water colouring,,,,. Xx 💞🌼🌺🌸
I just loved this card , loved the background and the flower 🌷 was gorgeous,,, I would love to improve on water colouring, so any tips would be great lol,,,, 💞🌼🌺🌸
Thank you Anne! Is there a specific aspect of your watercolouring that you would want to improve in the next few months if you where to try and narrow it down?
I would like to practice adding layers. I watch your videos and I would stop at layer C, but you go on to add D, E, F, G . . . And sometimes it goes through a stage where I don't like it, but you just add more and that fixes it without looking like you did to much.
Oh love it Sheryl! I know this well and what you are going through is totally part of the process. So what you actually need to work on is pushing through the 'not quite there but don't know what to do next' and the 'eek! it's ugly' stages and to do that try to practice letting go and not getting emotionally attached to a piece too early on. Well, at least that works for me, there might be other things you can try too! Good luck!
I'd like to learn more about color theory and mixing colors, and doing faces, specifically quirky faces...I love this flower and background. Thank you, Kim!
Ooo wonderful! Thanks for sharing your arty focuses Marsha, it is great to hear them!
