 Hey guys, how are you all? Wow, you are all here so early, before me even, you have to go pick up the misses, and you can't like say, honey, sorry I didn't pick you up because I was watching YouTube, I don't think that's gonna fly very far with her. I'm adjusting my picture and so hopefully that's better. Hi Kathy, hi Eve, alright so my desk is a disaster, can you tell? I've got some happy male stuff in and honestly I've just been like piling stuff on my table for about 24 hours or so. I'm working on a secret project with Mr. Mike Deakin from the UK, my dear friend Mike, and he is giving me a little computer tutorial with regards to said thing that we're working on, which I don't want to spill the beans too much, but cross your fingers if it comes out well then you guys will be some of the first to know. If you're noticing a little bit of improvement in the picture quality today, not only is my upload speed like fabulous this morning, I don't know why because you know it's rainy and flooding everywhere, but maybe that's why because nobody in San Jose is on except me. I also upgraded my webcam recently to another Logitech webcam. It is the C930e which is slightly better than the 920, they're both HD webcams 1080p. This particular one has a Zeiss lens, so really good quality webcam, nice clear picture. Good morning everybody. Gail, Muriel, Mary, good morning. So we are going to work on this week's Eiffel Tower picture. I'm constantly like one photo behind with Ian's weekly art challenges over in my year 2017 Facebook group. If you're not a member of that group yet and you'd like to be, the link should be in the description of this video. And it's just a group strictly about journaling about your year and it's not about anything else. Just working on your my year journal. Yeah, so it's the pro one. The 920 is nice and it works decently well most of the time. It is only about $50, $60 depending on where you buy it, but the 930 is better. It's clear. It's sharper as you can see. If we could do a side by side, which I don't know how to do that, but you guys would tell. If you Google Logitech 920 versus 930, there is a really good video out. He shows actually side by side video of what it looks like. So we are going to do some watercolor. We're going to do this Eiffel Tower picture and I do have my journal. First, we have to clean off the desk. I got some happy mail from Miss Cindy that I haven't put away yet. So Miss Cindy Utter, if you don't know who I mean. So I've got to put that away today. It actually came quite a few days ago. I haven't put it away yet. And I went shopping with my husband this weekend. He needed shoes. And of course, I found stuff I needed to have. So, you know, I've got this bag here I want to do something with. This is our Dying Pom Pom Trim experiment. And it came out more muted than I was thinking it would, but I really love the colors and can't wait to use it in some mixed media applications. Maybe on this flag that I have here. I have a Canvas Corp. Canvas flag banner thing here that they sent me in my design team box. I have to do something with it. And I actually had this bar from another old banner that I used to have. Actually, it was the sign for my old daycare business. And the little finials on the end screw off. And it has the two little eye hooks to hang this from like a piece of wood. And I'm thinking maybe it's about time for me to use it and create something new to hang on here. And then screw the screw eyes into a piece of wood or a sticker, an old paintbrush or something. So I'm working on that. I'm not exactly. I haven't fleshed it out completely yet, but it's going to be coming. This is a stamp I just carved for Cindy Utter's monthly challenge and what it looks like, which I don't know right now if the video is up or not, but if it's not, it will be soon. This is a little, I think I showed this to you last time. It's a little luggage tag thing that I need to make a journal out of that my husband gave me. And some stuff that has to go into my year journal that's piled up here. So that's, I'm telling you, I just have been piling stuff on the desk. I can't get to anything. I found this belt in my closet. I went to go look for something and it's broken and actually one of these charms, one of these things is broken. So I'm thinking, huh, I was going to just throw it away. But I thought, you know, could do something with that. So it's, you know, in our room. And then I took Mike Deacon's idea of creating journal 52 prompt cards and I took week seven and I made a card. So I have to, I have to make and laminate that. That's actually in a video that went live last night, which I also shared my creative jolt cards that I just came out with in my Etsy shop links in the description. And when I was getting ready for that video, I realized there was a week seven for journal 52. So I made a card. He used his idea to make a card. All right, got some neon paint. Neons. All right. So am I the only one on the planet that thinks it would be so cool to have a watercolor palette, pants that have just neon watercolors. I have some bright watercolors and all very bright colors. But I don't have neons. Neons would be so cool. I don't think anybody makes them. Hi, Irene. Hi, Wanda. Yes, I have, I love amps. So these are PBO and Amsterdam. And you know, these are neither one of these are expensive paints. I started out using Amsterdam paints. They're really inexpensive. I have a store near me that always has a 40% off coupon once a week. And I would go in and get one, two, but paint 40% off. It's a really good brand, decently pigmented. And I like these. These are acrylic paints. So we may bring these into play today, which is why I dragged them out. Hey, Yosna, how are you? I'm just looking at the comments. Eve, if neon watercolors exist, somebody send me, somebody find the link. I got the bug in my brain this morning when I was digging out the watercolor, the acrylic neons. And I can't find anything. So I'm looking for, you know, a little small pen set or the individual tubes or pans of neon watercolors. Neon would be so cool. I've got some bright watercolor paints that are fabulous. But just to have some neons would be so cool. And I, you know, the bug is in my brain now. Before we do any painting, we're going to do the watercolor palette giveaway. So the giveaway for this ended yesterday. And I got the names. I've already pulled them and I've already attached your name to your watercolor palette. So if you're here and you're watching, or if you're watching the recording of today's live broadcast, then I want you to go to the video description, find my email address. It's in the description and email me your mailing address. Okay. Your snail mail mailing address. Okay. First one, Eve. Eve, you won. Eve bolt. Eve, you can, you can email me. When you email me your address, Eve, email me the link for the neon watercolors because that would be cool. I am looking for them. And Ian, you're right. So I'm on the hunt for them or I'm going to be making them with some neon pigment powders. So I'm on the hunt. All right, ready? Next one. Amy, Amy, Shoker, Amy, you won. Gwen. And I'm going to guess Gwen that your last name is Latrell. So Gwen, G Latrell 47 at Comcast. That's you. Gwen, you won. And Barbara Sturgeon. Barbara, you won. So all four of you send me your snail mail mailing address and I will get these out to you probably with a few other extra goodies in the envelope. Mary, again, Mary, anybody who sees anything on neon watercolors, whether it's a product I can purchase or a DIY video, you guys send me the links. Email me the links or private message me the links if you're friends on Facebook because now I've got the bug in my brain and now I just can't let it go. All right. So I'm going to grab just a random kind of bluish colored Derwent color pencil. And yeah, congratulations for sure to everyone who won. I've got my morning tea or ash. It's afternoon tea. Does everybody have their coffee or tea? Are you all ready? Okay. Hey, Gerda. All right. So we're going to work on again, this Eiffel Tower inspiration photo from our my year 2017 Facebook group. And I am going to kind of show you how I would do it if like if it was if I was actually on vacation somewhere in like in Paris and working in my journal, which is about this size. Okay. Just rearranging everything so it gets on camera. All right. So the first thing I would do would be to sketch it. Yeah. Yeah. Mary, post a link because I think that a neon watercolor, I think I think there's a lot of us who would be, you know, like I said, I got the B in my brain and now I'm it's just not going away. So when I am doing one of these, you know, well, when I'm doing any painting, I'm not trying to exactly draw the photo, but especially when I'm on vacation, you know, I don't want to spend so much time working in my journal that, you know, I'm not spending time with my family enjoying the vacation. So what I'm doing is I'm just I'm just sketching out the basic shapes that I see. I'm not going to add tons of detail in. And as you all know, if I don't get the lines exactly right, it's not going to, you know, bug the crud out of me. You could, of course, print your photo to be the same size as your book and then use carbon paper to transfer the image to your book. Of course, you could do that. So I'm just looking at the basic shapes that I see. I'm just tracing the basic shapes. And I'm really kind of doing it like this much of it. And you know, it might turn out like poop. I don't know. We'll find out. I'll catch up on the comments in just a minute. I see I see things scrolling by. Oops. Let me get rid of that one, because it's in my way. So I'm going to just sketch in the basic pieces. The basic shapes, dogs, because, you know, there's kids outside, it sounds like, of course, why there's kids outside on a school day. I have no idea because we're not in an area that's caught me flooding. So I'm on the outskirts just in case I've been messaging with people this morning that are all concerned about flooding. I'm on the outskirts. And yeah, we're good here. All right, now I'm going to get out my varsity pen. All right, let's see. Okay, see you later, Ian. Oh, thank you, Lisa, for the about the jolt cards. I, you know, I got the idea from Mike Deakin. When I saw what he did with the Journal 52 Jolts, and they do say over in Journal 52 that you can download the Jolts and the photos for personal use only. And that was such a good idea that I started making my own Journal 52 cards. And then thought, wait a minute, we should do the creative Jolts. And yes, you can get the Jolts for free in my Facebook group. But if you want them all formatted on the computer so that they're in a file that you can just cut out, then you can buy the file on my Etsy store. They just opened 101. Yeah, 101's been closed. I'm not actually sure how my husband made it to work this morning. So before I do anything, we are going to use those neons. I'm going to grab a paintbrush here from my trade next to me, where they're, I just cleaned a bunch of brushes. I don't know if I cleaned them super well, but I don't know. I'm going to grab my favorite neon orange, which is funny. That's my favorite because I'm not a big orange fan. So paint, paint blob. Hold on. Doesn't want to come off. There we go. Got it. All right. I'm going to just grab a little bit of it right out of the tube. Neons are a great way to suggest light in your painting. I'm going to grab some water. Where's my rag? I need my rag. I'm going to just take my clean brush with just some water on it, and I'm going to move that neon paint around. Now the pencil, that's a regular color pencil. It's not a water soluble pencil, so it's really not going to go anywhere. And the inspiration photo, if you can see, is pretty cloudy photo. There is not a lot of sun in that photo. So I took liberties with the photo, and the parts where it seems like even on a cloudy day, the sun is hitting the Eiffel Tower are where I put the neon paint. And remember, yes, we love to play with watercolors, but we're mixed media artists. So don't be afraid to mix your mediums up. If you're away from home and you want to do something like this, I do this with my Bible Gel Highlighter crayons or some neocolor two crayons. Because I don't carry acrylic paint with me when I'm out of town. It's too messy. Neon watercolors. I really want some neon watercolors. Okay. So now we're going to I want to dry this a little bit. So let's do that. Not because the paint is going to go anywhere, but because I the paper is really wet. Hi, Jerry. I missed your live Facebook broadcast this morning. I was on at the gym. So now I'm going to take my pilot varsity disposable fountain pen. Now I will tell you I'm barely touching my pen to the paper and I'm not expecting to get perfect lines. In fact, I kind of don't want perfect lines. I want it to look like a quick, you know, a quick sketch, something you did when you were out traveling. You're suggesting the shape. I don't think even if I screw it up, people are going to miss that this is the Eiffel Tower. And I like the messy look of all the lines on my paper. I'm not one of these people who likes, you know, perfectly blended paintings. There's a time and a place for that. And if that's what you love, then this kind of painting is not for you. Just FYI. All right, now we need a watercolor brush and a palette to use. I have so many now to choose from. Let's try. You guys got any suggestions? What paints you'd like to try? Have me try. Maybe I should try something simple. Have I unwrapped this one yet? I'm tempted to dip my brush in my tea. That would be bad. These. Let's see. This will work. These are the Mission Gold watercolors. I like these watercolors. They're really great. Let's get them wet. I have just a simple 12 color palette. Basic palette. This is one that you would, this is the kind that I would take on vacation. Like especially if you're not sure about what colors you're going to need. This is a good basic palette you can mix a lot of stuff with. So Jerry, the one we're using today is the Logitech C930E, which is a little bit better than the 920. It's more of a pro webcam. And it has a nice Zeiss lens, but it's about $99. The 920 is cheaper. Alright, so now let's see where we're going to go. I'm going to start with some Prussian Blue. I really need a plate. Let's start with some Prussian Blue, which is going to be a nice sort of a cool color. Now this page has had, you know, the acrylic paint on it. It's had, it's kind of been schmutz'd up from the other paintings that we've done. So there are going to be some patches in the paper that don't take the paint super well, but that's, we're going to be okay with that. And then I'm going to take a little bit of Van Dyke Brown. So I just recently got this new camera, Jerry. I of course just ordered mine from Amazon because nobody around me had it in stock. And so far so good. I was pretty impressed with what I thought the picture quality was going to be. And I was, I was right. So I didn't sketch the underneath of the Eiffel Tower, but I'm going to suggest it with our paint. Yeah, so this, the 920 is nice and all, but this one is better. And, but neither one of them have a fabulous microphone. So I would suggest one of the Yeti microphones or another microphone. I have a Yeti, the Yeti, the Snowball. And yes, I'll be honest about the fact that I bought it because I mean, who doesn't want a microphone that's called a Snowball? Honestly. So I'm just, you know, I'm adding my, we're working with our shadows now. We're not, you know, the highlights are in there. And that neon acrylic is going to show through the watercolor paint. You can see right here how much it shows through. The Pilot Varsity Pen will blend with the watercolor, give us some darker tones. I'm going to use our cool colors, our shadow colors to suggest the shapes of the Eiffel Tower. Just one little section at a time, putting down some of our Prussian Blue, adding some water, suggesting some of the shapes with brown paint and working my way up. You don't have to be Rembrandt to enjoy the process of creating something on your page with paint to commemorate a special photo, your vacation, whatever. Yeah, I thought I'd give it a give it a whack. I've never been to Paris. It's on the bucket list. Someday, I'm not using a ton of colors yet, you know, just basic colors, nothing special. Not even any special techniques. Alright, so we're going to introduce some purple, which is another shadow color. And you know, that's the other thing I'm always harping on you guys about is just because your inspiration photo is a certain color doesn't mean you have to use those colors in your painting. So this purple is pretty bright and vibrant. So I'm going to, I can always go back and add more. So I'm going to start with just a little bit and see where that gets me. Yeah, to see the Eiffel Tower when it's lit up would be so cool. Lisa, I agree with you. Yeah, I've seen the Vegas version. The Vegas version is pretty cool. We also have a, it's not an Eiffel Tower, but it's an old like power tower thing here in San Jose at the Historical Museum that sort of resembles a mini Eiffel Tower. That's pretty cool. Now the acrylic paint is going to resist the water color. So that's why it's going to constantly show through our painting. Yes, like your pink elephant. Like, you know, just because you're doing, you know, whether you're actually on vacation or you're working from one of these inspiration photos, you know, this one's black and white. You don't have, your painting doesn't have to be black and white. And always, you know, always start out with just a little bit of paint. You can always go back and add more. One of the things I love about watercolor is that, you know, they're for the most part so translucent. You can see all the different colors and marks underneath as you're adding layers of paint. I love that. I'm just using a Philbert. This isn't a fancy brush either. This is a Grumbacher Academy Gold Philbert number four. Philbert is a flat brush with a rounded tip. One of my favorite paint brushes, whether I'm painting in watercolor or acrylic. I like this little painting. It's turning out cute. It's not too poopy. Oh, thank you. Yeah, this is the palette of colors or this plate. This is just a plate from the dollar store. I almost went to go drink my watercolor water. Okay, wait, tea break. This palette of paints is a basic 12 color set from Mission Gold Watercolors and they have really nice bright, vibrant colors. This 12 color set is a nice one because it includes a purple and I could live without a lot of other colors in my repertoire of colors. But purple is not one of them because I really use kind of a lot of purple as a shadow color and I detest mixing purple. I know, right? That would be bad, especially since it has ox skull liquid in it. I don't know. I don't think that's probably something I should be drinking. Okay, we're going to take some Ultramarine Blue. Thank you, Meryl. Gonna add some water to it and some water and then I'm going to, I just want a wash of color in the background. I don't want too much color. So one way to get just a wash of color, put down just a little bit of paint, put a whole bunch of water, have a rag handy and that way you can get just a light wash of color in the background. Now I'm also going to take my brush wet and I'm going to, I don't know, we'll see if we can lift some color and if you guys are even going to be able to see. I don't know if you guys are going to be able to see this. It is lifting it to give the suggestion of clouds but honestly it's so subtle. I'm not sure you'll be able to see it on camera. I'll try zooming in and we'll see but I don't know. And it's not lifting off all of it, it's just lifting some of it. So the one thing you should know about some of these paints is they stain very readily and some of the pigments stain faster than others do. Which is why I'm always telling you guys that you have to start lighter, work your way darker. I do want to, let's see, do I have any white paint? I don't even know if I have white paint. Holy cow, this will work. This is a chalky finished paint but it'll work. Nope, that won't work. Only works if you can get it open. Yes, I have all kinds of tubes of paint. You guys didn't expect any different, did you? This only happens when I'm on camera and I decide I want something that I can't find. Okay, that's not true. It happens all the time. I know I have Chinese white in here somewhere. I don't see, I don't use it that much. It's not in there. I think there might be some in the Daniel Smith palette. Let's grab that. It might be easier than looking at the tubes of paint or the van. I wonder if there's some in the Van Gogh palette. Let's look. Yes, there is. Yay. Let's put some water in it. Chinese white is generally an opaque watercolor and it's good for mixing. I just want to give sort of the suggestion here of some clouds, some sort of fogginess to the background. Again, this is pretty subtle and I don't think you guys are going to even be able to notice it on camera but I know it's there and I'm not putting it everywhere. I'm just doing swirly cloud shapes. That's pretty good. I like that. I think we're going to leave it alone because this is a really good little painting. What do you all think? It's whacking harder. I know, right? No, did you all see Ann's art tip in the Facebook groups this morning about Vaseline? This needs some Vaseline. I'm not going to whack it too hard on camera. It's going to make too much noise. I don't have the upper body strength I used to have since shoulder surgery. I do keep my so a little creative. I do keep my paint brands separate. These are actually my refilled tubes and this is not all of them. I'm not going to do that because that's I'm not going to do that. That's kind of bragging and it's not that's not the point and I am a watercolor addict and collector so I have a lot of them but I do keep them separate and that way when I want to refill a specific palette I can just grab that bag of paint to refill that palette. I'm going to go back to I missed some comments here. Oh thank you so much Miriel for saying you like the Eiffel Tower. Having a room of Eiffel Towers. Well Ann I yeah I collect a few things and all I can say is it drives my husband crazy too. So this is done in a journal Ann and I'll private message you about the question you asked me after the broadcast. This is in a little mini moleskin not mini. This is in a little moleskin watercolor journal and I I like this paper okay. I will say that if you look at the drying pages the dry pages it does warp quite a bit as it's drying which I don't necessarily mind. I would like for them to stay flatter but it doesn't. This one doesn't pill and I have to say and I've painted on both the front and back sides no pilling. So for that I really do love this. I got some pentallic journals for Christmas and they are blue covered. This one and they're more a little more expensive than the moleskins but the paper is supposed to stay nice and flat so I'm anxious to try them. I actually haven't tried it yet. This is a little square one which will be fun. But the moleskin I have a Strathmore watercolor journal too and I actually like also like that one but it does you can't you can't scrub at the page too much. It will start to pill at some point and that's actually my actual travel journal. I prefer the moleskin of the two of those. Yeah and I need to get some of those silicone jar opener thing. I need to get one to keep in here to open things like this. Everything's labeled. I can't I can't stand it when it's chaotic. Right now it's not that you guys would say it's not that messy but it's driving me crazy. Wanda I'm not sure what I said that I'm not sure what I said that you're talking about. Jerry's live show yeah Jerry had if that's what you're talking about Wanda Jerry had a live show on Facebook this morning and I was um I missed it and Ann posted her art tip this morning which I also missed. Of the Robax palette but I never use them so I'll be honest they got passed along to somebody who will better use them and there it's too big for my little art room. If I had a bigger art room with a bigger table then the Robax palette would be great because it's nice and you can you know really keep all your palettes your paints in one place. For me from my art space that's not how I work and it doesn't work in my room but if you have the space for them I would definitely look into buying them and if you love watercolor paint and you're a collector just break down and buy the big one. Yeah I need to I need to perfect my whacking technique with my jars. Let's see I have the same issue Lisa I love trying the different brands even if I have a bunch of palettes that have the same 12 colors in them. I just love there's something about trying the different brands and they all react to water and paint a little bit differently and um that's a lot of fun. So so the Strathmore is hard to pill on the Strathmore journal but if you scrub at it enough any paper will pill it does react. I prefer the way the Moleskine paper reacts to water over the Strathmore but I have both and if you picked one over the other whatever one you picked you wouldn't be going wrong. The Pentalloc I haven't used yet so I can't give you an opinion on that one. Hi Patricia um yeah so I'm not sure what Ron does referring to but Wanda if you're referring to Ann's posting it was just a post across all groups we now have an art tips page in all the groups including my year 2017 where we'll be posting periodic if not weekly art tips for you all like the Vaseline tip right there are some worst things to collect for me it is watercolor paint I'll admit that oh I just got it I guess I whacked it enough I better put Vaseline on that before I screw it down too tight. So this was a fun little painting I am trying to remember this year one of my goals is to try to remember to sign and or date my paintings because I'm very bad about remembering that and if I was doing an actual painting like this while I was on vacation what I would do is I would probably do some journaling in and around the Eiffel Tower or in the background where the sky is either with just the name of the place in case you didn't know Paris France Eiffel Tower or some journaling about my trip and my actual travel journal actually has real basic I think I've just put the names of the places let's see I can get it out quick so here's the Strathmore one and these are both the same size um journal they're both the same size journal about the Strathmore is a little bit bigger um the mole skin I don't even know if it says anywhere I do like this size this is like five by eight five and a half by eight something like that and this Strathmore one this is my actual travel travel journal this is a Strathmore 467-5 this is 400 series watercolor paper which is their really good watercolor paper so if you're going to use Strathmore paper which I don't have a problem with then this is um um this is a good one and I'll address all those text messages in a minute um and I showed this last week so what I do in the front is I put all my like luggage stickers and stuff like that in the cover and then these are actual paintings I've done while I've been on vacation similar like to the Eiffel Tower one so Lisa about your ATC card question there's no rule the only rule for ATC card is it it be two and a half by three and a half that's the only rule otherwise anything goes you're welcome Wanda yeah sometimes there um is a theme Lisa on ATC cards if you do a particular swap with people you know like maybe they're doing Wizard of Oz themed ATC cards or something but otherwise two and a half by three and a half you can use a playing card yep that's a good good base so I just do basic you know like basic journaling like Salmon Berry Blossom Ketchikan Alaska Desert Blooms Red Rock Canyon Eldred Rock Lighthouse Skagway Alaska Kayaking Lake Tahoe Stateline Nevada which was really hard on my shoulders but it was fun so basic journaling but these are just quick little paintings that you do that I've done while I've been on vacation and I love these kind of little small quick paintings they're a lot of fun you can do them anywhere and you can do them as detailed as you want or not you know if you've seen any of Mara Mara Del Abrams videos where she's out doing art when she's out and about her local area she gets pretty detailed and she does some great watercolors and mixed media little paintings and they're wonderful and I do encourage you all to take you know your supplies with you I rarely go anywhere without at least a paper and a pen yeah just make sure the playing cards two and a half by three and a half I've also in those of you who are sports fans out there will groan and I'll get in trouble if some men in my life find out but sports trading cards are the right size for they make a good base I don't know if that's paint or I cut myself let's find out does anybody have any questions so I just wanted to do this quick little painting today and um oh I cut myself um yeah so they Lisa they make a really good base and if you have something like that and you want a watercolor on it just make sure and maybe you have this paper here and you want to um you've put uh acrylic paint on it and then you want a watercolor on top of it but you're not sure how the paint is going to or the yeah the paint is going to take the water color you want to cover the whole thing with a clear absorbent ground or Daniel Smith has a clear um um watercolor ground and then let that dry for the and cure for the recommended period of time which is I think 24 to 48 hours and then you can watercolor over it and the whole thing will take the paint the same way so you can have a collaged painted mixed media background give it a coat of um Daniel Smith's um clear watercolor ground let it cure and then watercolor over it and have all of that yummy goodness show through but also have um a really nice absorbent base to hold your watercolor paint so it's not going to beat up and pill in all the places where you have your acrylic mediums and your acrylic paint so there's a little tip I generally don't do that I do it every now and then I shouldn't say that but when I'm working with these if I just have a little bit of the acrylic paint on there or the watercolor pencil and it doesn't take the paint I'm okay with that I love the sketchy um abstracted look of this kind of painting and you may not like this but I recommend trying it and if you decide that your painting is getting too tight and you're just trying too hard and it's too you know you can tell by the composition it's too stressful you know there's a couple of exercises
