 Hey everybody, just getting situated here, let's see, see myself on the periscope is just delayed this morning, there's no good way around that. Seems like there might be some, no issues, cancel, it's hard for me to see your comments if I can't watch the broadcast on the, oh there I am, I mean, you know, I can only do so much, let's see, okay there, there we go. Alright, so I'm going to set my timer, we have 10 minutes, after me go to Shile728, she's the last one, good morning everybody, you're sideways, but we don't have time for me to fix it. I want to try to do a journals page spread in my small delusions journal, and we don't really have time to draw, wait for things to dry, good morning everybody. So when you're doing a timed challenge like this, you need to just work with everything wet, you don't have time for stuff to dry, I'll probably do some pen work on here like later after the broadcast, I just have some scraps of tissue paper here on my desk, this is just some layers of wipe off paint from other projects, I'm going to try to keep up with comments while I'm doing this, no guarantees, you know, there we go. This is, I am using Liquitex Matte Medium, it's a fluid matte medium, and I'm going to put some layers of some few collage bits I have laying on my desk on top of the wipe off paint that's on my page, if I wasn't doing a timed challenge I wouldn't necessarily do my layers in this way, but because I am, thank you so much, I never in a million years thought a few years ago I'd be doing art on the internet and teaching, it never occurred to me, to be perfectly honest, so I'm just using up my bits and pieces I have here, I also have this quote I pulled out of my word box last night, it was right on top, life is good, like how much more perfect is that, normally I would put this on last and I would do layers and paint first, but because we are, we're doing a timed challenge, we have only a few minutes left, so I'm going to actually put it on now, a lot of us use fluid matte medium because it's easier and it's very matte and it's not sticky, but I have mod podge around and I have collage podge around and I like both of them, so it just, I use those more of a sealer, so I'm going to put this on here and I'm going to take my, this is a frosting spreader from the dollar store and I'm going to just make sure things are pushed down into the matte medium, I am going to take my dryer out, we're going to dry this a little bit, yeah when I paint, when I'm painting I just take the extra paint and I always have this little journal next to my table and I just wipe off the paint or stencils in two pages on this journal, I have a few pages I've done and this is a journal where we're experimenting with incorporating water color into our mixed media projects and I'm going to do that next, I just want to dry off the matte medium a little bit, okay so I have a couple of watercolor palettes here on my table that I use just for this and these are ones that are inexpensive, I don't care too much if they get contaminated by acrylic paint, they're not artist quality, so I can use them with my mixed media and not be worried, you know that I'm going to ruin the paint palette by getting something in it, yeah the matte medium holds everything down, sometimes if you have a really thick piece of paper then you need to really use gel medium, the heavy gel, I keep golden extra heavy gel around, if you have a piece of paper that's really thick, this is a small, it is a small delusions journal and now I'm putting watercolor on here, the watercolor is going to resist, be I'm sorry, the paint and the matte medium are going to resist the watercolor, the acrylic paint more than the matte medium, the watercolor will absorb right into any place where there's raw paper, five minutes, we have five minutes but I'm just putting a layer of watercolor into the background to color up anything that's still raw paper, now throw that away, got a garbage can right next to me, see if I can do some more drawing, okay so now I'm going to just take my fingers and I have a few different colors of paint here and this is acrylic paint, these are Dina Wakeley paints, a paper towel, that was just a paper towel, Susan is up next, I'm sure she's going to have something fun and interesting for us all to watch, I'm just adding painty marks with my fingers, I picked colors that would coordinate with the quote, the color of the paper, the quote paper and the colors that were already on here and white is a good, I don't know if things get too, if things get too muddy and too crazy, add some white in there, that's a good calming down color but you see you still see some of the layers and things showing through your paint and it's really interesting, the more layers that you put the better it is, the Dilutions Journal is by Ranger and they make a few different ones now, this is the small one, this is a great journal for taking with you when you're traveling or if you're doing art sort of on the go, I have a few tools here, this is like a vegetable brush, I just got the all black one recently, this is a pipe fitting from the hardware store, the paper is pretty good, it doesn't take lots of watercolor really well but it's pretty good, I have a bunch of different things here and I'm just trying to figure out what I want to make marks with but I need to hurry up because I only have two minutes, I'm gonna do the red, I'm gonna just, you know, I'm always telling you guys to follow your instincts, so just use some found objects to make marks on your page and keep going and there's no reason why you have to do lots of complicated nonsense to create an interesting journal page, empty ribbon spools are fabulous, pipe fittings are fabulous, this little piece I use a lot and this is from the paper roll from a store I used to work at, we were changing the paper towel roll in the bath ladies bathroom and this was on the end of the roll and they were gonna throw this away and I said can I have that and it makes interesting marks, this is a square dice eraser, again interesting marks, this is a piece of a silicone hot pad, this is a vegetable brush, these are some of my favorite mark making tools, we have a minute left, if Susan's up and live she should put up some emojis, if your paint is dry you can come in with a paint pen to make some more marks, my paint is not dry so I'm using a paint brush, so there's Susan's emojis and there's my 10 minutes and the page is pretty done, I think I'm gonna leave it and let it dry a bit and then I'll come in with some pens, the red kitchen supplies from Dollar Tree are fabulous, you guys are welcome, so here's just a quick way to do a journal page, it doesn't have to be complicated, just have fun and enjoy your supplies, hotel key cards are fabulous, you're welcome, my only problem is knowing when to stop, so you guys all go over and join Susan, anybody who's still here and I will see you all later
