Art Exploration: Acrylic Painting on Mixed Media Journal Pages

Pretty! I love those colors together. Thank you for the video!

Hi Denise. I happened upon your channel a couple of days ago and have watched several videos since then. They are all terrific! I’m brand new to art journaling so watching your creativity is inspiring! I actually have that journal book by Dina Wakley so it will be fun to watch as you fill it up… esp the canvas and burlap pages. My question is whether you consider today’s page finished or will you add to it? It is beautiful just as it is but I’m trying to find my style so I tend to ask lots of questions! There are so many great AJ videos and artists with beautiful work but it’s often so different. I am happy to subscribe to your channel so I can learn more from you!

Beautiful. I love hearing you and your laugh too.

And then I got to the spot where you did change your mind❣️❣️

I did think the green pages would look spectacular with the wings😊. I could see it framed as one picture in my house, as that background especially is something that I adore. Chipped up layers of pain on furniture, etc. But of course, everything you do is beautiful Denise & I look forward to seeing every single video you share with us❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I’ve started storing my stencils on hangers as well! Thanks for the idea

Love it love the colours are gorgeous. Thanks Denise

Cheerful , sparkling and bright 😍 both your painting and your enthusiasm 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻 Beautiful and inspiring as always. Have a bright and magical week Denise 🙏🏻✨😍

Love love LOVE. Was thinking had you used the stencil with a gel plate you could have used the print on one side and the ghost on the other side.

I am learning something new every time I watch. Great to have an approach to abstract!

This looks like fabric I would want to buy

That is so pretty! ❤ bring on the wings now 😂😂😂

I had so much watching you create this page. Thanks for sharing!

❤️⛅️🇨🇦🌞

Love it Denise and I had just got everything out ready to start painting although it was almost 11pm…Peter was working till 2am and I had plenty of time…the phone rang and he was on the way home , had finished early….soooo everything away and tomorrow as soon as he goes to work I will begin….looking forward to seeing what I can do as I watch your video again….❤

Those stencil masks are sooo good… have you ever turned it over when covered with paint and use it like a stamp? To capture the other version of the design.

❤Looove It!!

You used ALL of my favourite colours… stunning!

Stencil Girl still has the wing stencil. 💜🎨🖌️

Love your enthusiasm. Good decision re the wing stencil. Very delightful. Colours AMAZING.

Love todays!! You inspire me to keep going.

That color combination is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I really look forward to seeing your Sunday video. I love how your paintings talk to you and can derail your master plan. I think it was when you showed us the pages that were inspiring you today. That gray blue page was screaming for the wing stencil. I love all the gold moments.

Love the color combo. Gold was definitely the way to go. Great paint day! Wasn't expecting the canvas to shrink so much. Would it shrink more if you added more layers of gesso?

Love this color palette and the blending you did with the colors!!! And I’m pretty sure we are kindred spirits when it comes to the use of gold!!!😂 Whether I add a touch or cover a whole painting, it always makes everything look better!!!

Absolutely love it, as usual Denise, thank you. You inspire me every time I watch one of your videos. 😊

Oooo, gold! Glad you had a good paint day. Someone sent me a Meme that reads: “A new study shows that people who have a ridiculous amount of art & craft supplies live longer than those who point it out.” Have a great Sunday, Denise. I always have a good Sunday when I watch you paint.

Your enthusiasm is addictive. You brought enjoyment to my Sunday!

Ahhh the little joys of life, morning coffee with Denise 💕😊

Denise, I love your art and your enthusiasm. When you stencil and have paint (or whatever) on the top flip it over and press. You get a lovely reverse and it doesn't waste paint. Try it!

As always you delight me with your joy! I was shocked to see the shrinking before our eyes. 😂 I agree the gold was just the right touch. Great paint day!!!

That’s gorgeous! The gold makes the pinks and reds look like gems. Really enjoyed this video!

It's the enthusiasm and excitement
the spontaneous sounds that erupt from your throat chakra
from the orange, glowing sacral
Creative Space
that lives inside you
that you helped me remember...
It's the difficulty
Chosing color when all the colors move
and blend audaciously,
Demanding their moment
to dance before they dry...

There are so many reasons...

This is why you inspire me.

Thank you for the energy you bring to the world. I've eagle-dived into an adoration of art. Watercolor has me LOCKED DOWN for about a year. You have taught me so much. You have no idea. I remain ever so grateful for your contribution. My life is full of Watercolor...the joy you speak of, when outside the bedroom door, life is life-ing with all the blessings and struggles through, to more blessings.

I need to get back to your video and then I need to throw color, but I also needed you to know that you've touched my spirit in a most fundamental way...mentoring me remotely, and I can FEEL the difference. Thank you.

Continued blessings and joy to you and yours.

I agree with Blue Lotus! I look forward to Sundays and Wednesdays for your new videos!

Okay, I’m watching the video and I’m only 9 minutes in. Questions and comments for you.
1) I typically comment on Instagram because I watch your videos on my big screen tv. 😅

2) The wing is still available on Stencil Girl. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the video of you doing that wings spread ever since I caught a glimpse of it when you showed us some of the pages. So, once I saw where you got the wings stencil, I went right to the site and bought it.

3) We can use gel medium and rice paper on top of gessoed canvas? I’m going to try something in my Dina Wakely journal today and just want to check.

4) I saw that Dina Wakely once had a Blue Multimedia Journal available which included denim pages. Do you think I could use my old jeans to cut up as pages in a journal I make using your Skillshare class instructions?

Thank you! We think you’re so fun, talented, inspiring and amazing!

What a fun day! That is indeed, one of Elizabeth’s Klimt stencils. I agree with your choice to hold off on the wings. I think the other page is perfectly suited to them. You might like to know that Dina is having a limited run of the black journal coming out in July/August, although I am not positive which size it will be. They are doing this to precede her next two journals which will be coming out. One will be a watercolor journal, and the other will be a ledger journal.

Denise, you crack me up! “Just jinxed myself” 🤣 This is gorgeous...could see this as a stunning silk sari. Nothing better than mornings with you!

This is gorgeous! And I so enjoy watching you get excited when you have a great paint day. Thanks for this 😊❤

Those colors are so yummi together! Actually I think went to much gold, Maybe that it's just me? Isaw a flower on the left side with som yellow in the middle, I think You've saw it if You took a step back...But You're inspiring!

gorgeous! i have to pause your videos to go paint lol!! so inspiring

Your energy is amazing! Thank you for the inspiration 😊

So agree with blue lotus comment- so inspirational❤️ love using variety of papers, paints, and other media!

Awesome paint day, love, love, love it!! Kind of looks like an expensive tapestry in the close ups. Thanks Denise!!

Yay! Sunday morning coffee and Denise art! Great inspiration for the day!
