 Hey guys welcome to another artsy trio video. It's taken me a while to Figure out what to create for this month's mood board For lots of reasons. Life has just been really busy and kind of stressful I'm working through some mental health issues which are That whole process is going very well just FYI if you want to learn more about that I do a weekly vlog and I talk about it in almost everyone right now But anyway, I thought about it and thought about it and thought about it And I was going to again doing in this journal, which is where I've been doing them And this is my experiments journal where I do lots of different painting experiments. This one was One of the mood boards and I thought you know, I really want to take the colors from that month And I want to see can we do an acrylic pour in a journal? Well, yeah, you can And I wanted to do yet another art experiment, but I thought Why do I have to just do paint? Can I do something else? So I did pull some paint and we're going to do another art experiment, but we're also going to use some collage papers so I Think we're going to work on the gray one and do the notes on the white one. That's what I'm feeling at the moment This is the mood board for this month. I Will I'll put it over here, and I'll try to like zoom in for you all I took the mood board, which this month was created by Mike and I pulled some scrapbooking paper I don't have a ton of this anymore, but I do keep some around because I do use it for collage And I pulled some colors inspired by the mood board and I also pulled some paint So we are going to see where we go with this. I have a design in mind Sunflower themed think of that what you will and I'm going to see where we can go with this and Yeah, I'm going to use the collage papers some paint and my favorite glue you glue stick So let's get to it and I will be right back. I have to say that I forgot How fun paint over collage was because I haven't really done a lot of it lately But that was a lot of fun It was a fun experiment and it was fun using those bits and pieces of papers That I have in my stash for who knows how long the water soluble pencil for those of you Don't that don't know is a stabilo all pencil and this is in the brown color 1 8. I'm sorry eight zero four five And I used all Blick matte acrylic paints I prefer to use a matte finish paint in my journal that way when I close the pages I don't have to worry about putting gesso or wax or anything. They don't stick together. So anyway, all right So that's it. That's what I did with this month's mood board. It turned out really well bold conviction just seemed to fit for a Lot of reasons we'll leave it at that Anyway, I would love to see what you guys do if you want to download a copy of the mood board this month I'm gonna I am gonna make some notes over here But if you want to download a copy of the mood board for this month Join us over in the Facebook group artsy trio And you can get a copy of the mood board the and past mood boards over there And then when you do do something if you would like post it in the group and all of us teachers will be happy to Take a look and give you some encouragement And I love to see what you're all doing if you have a particular teacher in mind you tag them in the post Check out the video description for the link to the Facebook group, but also links to my co-teaching Group Mike Deacon and Bea grob their links for their videos are down in the video description Let's see what they've done this week week with the mood board.
