I have learnt so much from this class, who knew my left hand was so talented. The techniques in this class are quite freeing. I would recommend this class to anyone who what like to find their inner artist. I can’t express enough how much I have enjoyed it. It really is a wonderful journey delving between the shadow and light.
This one was created with water soluable graphite, Charcoal, Pastels, Black and White Paint and clear gesso. So so much fun!
This is the same image that I have coloured with an App on my IPhone called “Color Effects”
This one was my first attempt at Ivy’s Technique. I love how different everyone’s turned out who all started with the same reference photo.
It really showcased how it can embrace everyone’s different styles 🙂

Hello there, glad you could join me today, I hope you enjoy this little tutorial on how I have created this art journal page using the
Canson Art Book 180 & Schmincke – Acrylic inks & Aquarell & Mepxy Brush Markers.
Can I just say, my fave latest products to use! These are so yummy to work with!!! So many ideas are flowing right now!
1. To start draw a light pencil outline of the face you want to use. 2. Then use the Schmincke Aquarell Maskierstift to go over your pencil outlines. Let dry before adding your colours.
I Love how the masking fluid comes in the easy to use applicator!
3. Use different stamps to stamp and a permanent black ink around the hair overlapping them as you go. 4. Drip the Schmincke Acrylic Ink over the hair area, I have used a little of the Primary Blue Cyan and mostly Primary Magenta & Yellow.
5. Spritz the ink with water so that it blends and runs, then I have used a baby wipe or paper towel to dab off the excess and to dab more colour on around the edges. If too much ink went onto her face I used a baby wipe to wipe it off. *** Note*** I would add the blue first next time and let that dry before adding the magenta and yellow. I think this would give it an even more vibrant colour variations.
6. Once the ink is dry you can rub off the Aquarell Masking Fluid.
The easiest way I found for removing it was by rubbing over it with a paper towel. It came off easily.
7. Now you can colour in your face with the Mepxy Markers. I am still learning how to use these, but I am quickly falling in love with them.
