Watercolour and Brusho Snowdrops Art (Mrs Brimbles)

15/3/2019

Watercolour and Brusho Snowdrops Art With Me Mrs Brimbles
It's been a long time since 1, that I have created any watercolour art and 2, that I have done a post for Anna Brim, but yay, I can say that I am happy to be back doing both. I was so inspired by Anna's watercolour snowdrops video tutorial over on her patreon page - patreon.com/mrsbrimbles, that I decided to add my own twist to it using Colourcraft Crystal Colours Brusho as well as watercolour and stamping ink. I still used drawing gum to create a resist for the snowdrops. You can see my full process in the video below.

Watercolour tip in doodle journal cards, atc cards and art postcards; art process, inspired my Mrs Brimbles #watercolourvideo #atccards #watercolourjournalcards #artprocess
Hi all, wow I have been feeling so inspired from Anna Brim's latest patreon videos. This month has great content in both the videos and collage sheets that I had so many ideas for this blog post. I decided to take inspiration from a video she shared with her patrons about using post it notes and doodles. I decided to add my own spin to it and use a painted watercolour background using Daniel Smith half pans, then added doodles to that before cutting the whole page up to make a mixture of ATC Cards, Journal cards and post cards. You can see the whole process below.

Junk Journal Challenge 2018

How I made my junk journal using an altered book and sewn in signatures for a challenge in my Facebook Group Kerrymay Makes a Mess - Kerrymay._.Makes #junkjournal #alteredbook #junkjournalchallenge
Please spread the love & share me to Pinterest
​The #kmmamjunkjournal challenge has been happening again over in my Facebook Art Journaling group. We have just completed our second challenge which ran through the month of August.  Lots of lovely people have taken part, both in the group and on Instagram (if you search for the hashtag #kmmamjunkjournal on Instagram you can see some of the works in process and finished journals).  A lot of people are still completing theirs, so I will do another post when there are more finished journals from the participants.
​The images from my journal are below as well as a video flip through of the completed journal I created this year, which includes sewn in signatures (a first for me). ​

Completed Travelling Art Journal Challenge book and flip through from my Facebook group Kerrymay Makes A Mess #travellingartjournal #artjournal #artjournaling
Hola from Sunny Spain! Yes I am on my holidays in Palma Nova, but scheduled this to go out whilst I was away.  Over at Kerrymay Makes a Mess Facebook group last year we ran a challenge for a Travelling Art Journal swap. In the end we had three different circles going and I am pleased to say I have received my journal back. I have been meaning to film the flip through for a few weeks now, so I finally got my backside into gear and have done it. You can see the finished flip through of my book below. Please do drop me a comment on You Tube and leave a thumbs up.

Last week I bought a  Colourcraft Crystal Colours Brusho set and today I got to try it. Oh my word, it didn't let me down... such a beautiful set and so many possibilities when using it in art work and Art Journal spreads and general Mixed Media.
​I got the set of 8, which is mainly nature colours, lots of greens, yellows, browns and and reds. The colours are so intense and I literally only used a sprinkling (as you will see in the video process tutorial below). I can't wait to start using it to create page background, papers and journaling / ATC cards.
