who creates physical art?

Me me (raises hand). I paint in watercolor and gouache and do hand lettering. I also knit and crochet, but not as much lately.

 

I Mod Podge pictures on canvas squares (usually 12x12) and create wall art. I'm getting ready to make 8 of them for my daughter. I use layers and layers of Mod Podge in the process. Sometimes I paint the edges of canvases, sometimes I don't. That's about all of the "physical art" that I do anymore.

 

I WANT TO SEE IT ALL!!!!!!!!! Please! I sketch and I am trying to get my hands into loose watercolor and acrylics, but baby steps.

 

Watercolor is a love of mine. Also working a lot in textile art- surface design and using it to make mixed media clothing. Lots of fun! I do these kinds of dolls as well Right now I don't have one in the works.

 

Louise De Masi is a professional Art teacher. While her work isn't "loose" she gives great tips for how to achieve many effects. Here are a few in the loose watercolor category; Andrew Geeson . Kristy Partridge
Here are a few of mine:

 

I just took pictures of some of my canvases, Dalis. The light isn't great today, it's dark and raining, but you'll get the idea. The 12x12 canvas has nine 4x4 (Instagram size) pictures on it. I only sent a few, but some of mine are actual pictures that I just loved and a lot of them are actual 12x12 layouts in 4"x4" format! They print VERY well! I love to look at all of my pictures of layouts on the walls. My walls in my scraproom are quite covered. LOL I also included a picture of my ATC's (physical ones, not digi) that I have hanging on my wall, too. (Why does everything always look crooked when you photograph them on the wall? Hahaha)

 

OMG... you gals are amazing!

 

Cheryl, I LOVE the boxed one!!!

 

I have done some altered art in the past when I was a member of The Mini Canvas group which was a swap group and was as the title says it... small pieces of artwork.
I do card making - hybrid and using rubber stamps. I crochet and loom knit ( a new hobby).

I so want to do painting and must make the time. I keep watching Youtubes of what I would like to try.
Thank you @AJK Amanda for the links to those Youtubes as that is what I want to try - loose watercolors.

Also I have bought a lot of stencils and want to play with my geli plates and those with acrylic paints.

I did a recent swap of an embellished Alarm Clock. With the lockdown etc I could not visit Op shops to find a second hand clock to work with so I settled on a tiny inexpensive one bought on ebay. I made the little box to go with it. All I embellished it with was the pink half pearls and tiny black beads. I have not heard from the recipient yet as I only posted the parcel last week. The clock should work as it is a real clock. For some reason the photo coloring is not 100% real - the box really is the pink of the pearls on clock.

 

I love seeing these! I used to draw...a LONG time ago, but not anymore. I live vicariously through my children. My 15 year old is a painter (watercolor and acrylic) and my 13 year old love to draw with pencil and pens.

Here's one of her drawings that she also added watercolor too.

 

I am more a crafter than a Artist . I do patchwork at a very basic level. I used to love free hand embroidery and cross stitch ,including making miniatures for dolls houses , but I stopped that a while ago.
I have always drawn, and played with colours, but more as a guide for my other crafts. Now I have taken up painting more seriously,and at the moment I am enjoying a year long course with various teachers to learn different techniques. Love writing too.....

 

I'm a dabbler. I love to paint both acrylic and water color. I used to do oils, but haven't in a long time. I also used to do a ton of mixed media type art journaling, but haven't done that in about a year or so. I kinda go in cycles, but I usually get back around to all my artsy endeavors. Here are some layouts with pictures of my stuff:

 

It's so cool to see how creative we all are away from our computers!!! I love to dabble in mixed media. So therapeutic. I just get lost in it. I have to be in the right mood though. sometimes I don't feel like getting messy, or clearing up

 

I used to do all kind of arts and crafts and jewelry making with my oldest daughter but we haven’t done much of that for many years. All my kids can draw. I’ve never had the talent to be able to paint or draw. My youngest is into making bracelets and tie dye shirts right now. I enjoy the mess free environment of digital scrapping and control z. I have thought of doing a hand lettering class but even that’s digital on the iPad Pro.

 

SO enjoyed your post!! Love the inchie-like representations of your work!!

The apple doesn't fall far...

 

Oh my goodness I'm just blown away by all of your beautiful artistic endeavors! I agree with everybody else - we have some fantastically talented artists here and not just in digital art!

@AJK Amanda, thanks so much! There's a running joke about that ATC display - everybody wants me to "leave that to them in my will". The list is getting longer - the lady who cleans for us wants to be added now.

 

Anne-Marie, these are gorgeous!!!
