Hey creative friends! This week I’m sharing a peek into the creative process in a video timelapse as I experiment with #tracibautistaCOLOR watermedia pigment stones mixed with a few of my favorite matte mediums including Collage Pauge, Golden Super Matte Medium and Golden High Flow medium.
I've been painting color studies and experimenting with techniques as I continue to create my next artwork collection called WILD BLOOMS. I am in the experimentation and PLAY phase. I share about my creative process in my new book INSPIRATIONS SKETCHBOOK.
My hope is that you are inspired to create a body of work that is uniquely YOU.
In this video, I share a timelaspe of one of my WILD BLOOMS mixed media art pieces. I’m painting the my new WILD BLOOMS watermedia pigment stones, inks and watercolors, plus adding details with a variety of Derwent pencils.
A PEEK INSIDE my WILD BLOOMS artwork collection 🌸🌼🌻
from ideas & inspiration…from pigment…to handcrafted artisanal paint…to sketches…to Procreate…to custom digital brushes…to painting with #tracibautistacolor WILD BLOOMS…to patterns🌼🌸
The pigment stones are used both wet and dry. They can be used dry and mixed with water or an acrylic medium to paint all over color for a background. Then layered over the top as a watercolor wash and dipped into water to create highly pigmented marks. The Strathmore Mixed Media 400 Series paper is perfect for all of these layers.
As I work to build out more florals and line work, I draw botanicals with a mix of Derwent pencils, paint with Silver Brush dagger striper brushes and my handcrafted pigment stones.
Enjoy a peek inside the creative process...
