Dare to spread your wings canvas by Lanette

Hello All, You Amazing Creative People!

Today I am sharing my take on this month’s beautiful mood board that is inspired by the New Juicy Liquid Acrylic Set.

This set is a bright bold mix of colors that are beautiful! That said I typically would not pair these colors together, so this challenge was truly a challenge for me!

 

If you would like to see how this canvas came together you can watch my process start to finish over on the Finnabair YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope I have inspired you in some small way to spend some creative time in your art space!!

Until next time, Hugs & Have FUN Creating!

Colour Study by Lori Woods

 Hello creative friends! 

Our mood board this month features the new Juicy set of liquid acrylics. As these are very bright and colourful paints, I wanted to create a project where the colour didn't overwhelm the elements on the page and also with a bit of a grungy vibe. I decided to try to create a mixed-media version of a nature illustration from a textbook, with the mould pieces taking the part of the specimen.

Once the elements were assembled, I used splashes of colour over them and also diluted some of the paint with lots of water to imitate watercolour splodges. I highlighted areas with Ink Black to give the impression of pen outlines and added some stamp details to look like areas of writing. 

I found that Acid, Cobalt and Indian Pink waxes are a very nice compliment to the paint colours so I used these to add some areas of colour interest.

Juicy mixed media tag by Kasia Salmanowicz

 Welcome to the new year,

Once again I have been given a challenge. And what a challenge... Finnabair has prepared 4 sets of paints from the Liquid Acrylic series and each of them contains a combination of 3 colors. The moodboard for January is based on the ‘Juicy’ set. Such colour combinations are not the norm for me, so I really wondered how to meet the challenge.

I made a mixed media tag using fabrics, lace, hdf elements, Finn metal elements, texture paste, one of a new stencils, a few other accessories and of course liquid acrylic paints.

You can see the whole process - step by step on our YouTube channel. I invite you to watch my video tutorial and encourage you to use the moodboard. It is a lot of fun.

Hugs,

Kasia Salmanowicz
