This site is about my life in the art studio. It includes drawings, paintings, knitting and cross stitch and fun art techniques. I will also include recipes and yoga and book reviews. This is a lifestyle blog with intentional and simple living ideas.
Measure the page and cut the shaving cream painting sheets to the measurement size.
Pick the area of the painting that is interesting to you.
Glue the painting to the page.
Glue all of the shaving cream paintings there will be many pages of these works in your journal.
This is done on a separate paper due to the type of technique. It will be added to the journal. This is a two-part post.
Start with spreading the shaving cream onto a pan.
Then add paint onto the shaving cream. Be creative with your pouring. Add as many colors as you want.
Then place the 11″x14″ paper on top of the shaving cream and gently press and rub the paper.
Lift the paper slowly.
Set aside and add more colors and continue to make prints.
Use the straight edge and gently remove the shaving cream from the paper.
After the shaving cream is removed below is the result.
Next post I will show how to include this in your art journal.

Finished 3 pages out of 18. It’s looking really nice. Can’t wait for one row to be done.
I also started some new drawings.
I am proud of my latest art. I have been trying to focus more on creating art than focusing on overworking myself in my job.

Have Fun with Left-Over paint
I collected the dripping paint onto a tray. After I was finished with the coaster, I took paper and pressed it into the left over paint and made a print. I also brushed paint into my sketch book. This is a fun background for a sketch book multi-media artwork.
I hope you enjoyed this. I have a youtube video about it as well. Check it out.

It’s been a quick summer. I feel like I have returned back to all work and no play mentality. I have been working from home at a new job which I love. I don’t have the pressures of meetings and needing to be in the office for 40 hours. However I have not done a good idea with my art goals lately.
To recharge me and allow my mind to heal. I decided to try pour painting. It was fun, made me laugh and giggle. I felt like I was at the art experiment table in kindergarten again. It allowed me to be free.
I might make more. This may be my fun art that I do when I need to let my mind go and have some freedom.
I have been working on my art journal technique book and have a blog specifically for it. It is

There’s a few ways to paint with soft pastels.
First use the soft pastel in a dry form. Rub a color onto the paper.
Then add water and use a paint brush to spread the color across the paper.
You can use a second color and blend the colors together along with diluting it with water.
Let’s keep making creative art journaling…
This is an abstract art piece for your journal.
Start by painting shapes onto the paper. The shapes can overlap and the paint can bleed into another color. Fill the paper with as many shapes as you want.
Let dry. Use a blow dryer to speed up the drying time.
Then use the pens to outline the shapes and doodle in and around the shapes. Let your creativity flow.
Start by picking the size of paper or the journal you want to show your creativity.
Then gesso the paper. (Gesso is a primer to prevent the paint from soaking into the canvas or other materials such as paper). Let dry. A blow drier can be used to speed up the drying process.
Then use the crayons and mark on the paper lines going in all directions.
Then use the watercolor paints and start painting over the lines. Add splashes of colors onto the paper until you get the desired colors you want.
Let dry, again you can use the blow drier to speed up the drying time.
Once dry, take the pens and add details to it. You might want to highlight certain areas with doodle-like drawings, or outlines shapes. So much possibility is in this process.
This technique can be used for a background, a part of a larger painting, a book cover, bookmarks, or stationary.
