For this mixed media painting I was inspired by a Youtube film of Nika Rouss.

I made this AJ spread with inspiration cards and finished it with stamps from

Out of the box

Last week, instead of painting or drawing, I created a few soap chains.

It was very relaxed.

Art Journal - inspiration cards

During two Art Date evenings on facebookgroup Petra's World of Art Dutch

I created these two AJ spreads.

Every 10/15 minutes an inspiration card was turned and in a few hours you create a spread using the items of the cards.

For my daughter

I made this Imperfect Girl for my daughter's birthday.

peeled paint technique

The background of this painting is called 'peeled paint'.

On the first layer with acrylic paint you put on some spots a little bit vaseline.

Then you paint the next layer with a different color. On the spots with vaseline you remove the paint of the second layer and the color of your first layer comes through.

So you can adjust more layers and see the former colors.

I painted the imperfect girl with acrylic paint.
You can find films of this technique on Youtube.

Fantasy bird

This painting with the fantasy bird was made by me after I got inspiration from

Werkboek 2 from Miranda Bosch - Thurlings.
