Denise, I always say you bring happiness to everything you do. That's why we love you so much. I like that you have no fear (mistakes are part of learning and we actually need to be brave enough to let that happen if we're going to grow.). You are a total inspiration and now that my thumb has healed (took six months), I'm ready to play again. :)
This was a great inspiration, Denise -- this can be taken into a lot of different directions and I'll try a few -- thanks as always for sharing your joy ❤🧡💛
Oh oh oh my gosh ❤ I’m loving this wonky business so much!!! I’m super excited to do this in at least one of my journals but likely I’ll want to create this sunshiny joy in all of them 😊☀️!! The wonky works for me too❤
Necklace popped into my head 1 sec. before you said it. I love jewelry. I’m not sure it was due to the lighting, but I noticed changes in the colors as it continued to dry while you were mark-making. I really like the “blotchy” areas on the hot press side of the page. The design is like a big smile. Wonky, forever! A big ol’ hug for you, Denise. 🤗
It is like a big smile.. a big wonky smile!! 😂 It was interesting to see how the colors looked and reacted to both papers in this! So glad you hung out with me today!! Thank you! 🤗
Love this and the colors you chose! You continue to inspire me. I want to order some acrylic paint and paint pens but I live in the north and it is often below freezing here. Does anyone have experience with having acrylic paint items shipped in the winter? If the product freezes is it still usable when it thaws? Is it better to wait until spring?
That is a great question - hopefully we get someone up north to see it and tell us how it has worked for them! You might see what art stores are near you too and go in and talk to them about it and pick up some goodies while you are there. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you! 🤗
@@2lilowlsstudio Thanks for your response and feedback Denise. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I only have the big box craft stores near me. Sadly, no dedicated art stores. I have reached out on the product pages of Amazon so hopefully someone will be able to answer my questions.
I realize I need more "wonky" in my designs...let go of the exacting thing in my head. This piece turned out nice, not my color choices, but you brought it to life. I do see some gold for the center piece at the top. I agree about the Neptune brushes. Bought a few at the art store without knowing a thing, turns out they are great. The cashier at the art store even commented on them.
It is a bit weird on the colors - but it is a favorite piece for me now! I really love it! More gold up top would be good! I’m so glad you like those Neptune brushes too! 🤗🤗🤗

I just love your journal so far! Have you used the Khadi watercolour paper for this journal? I really like working on this paper. Thanks for sharing the creation of your spread!
Love this one! But, when you talk about the tempera paint sticks not being color fast, inside a book where the artwork is not exposed to light 24/7, is that really a concern? I don’t understand much about lightfastness except on pieces that are exposed to light on an ongoing basis. Thx.
It really depends on how low quality those tempura sticks are. Low - could end up fading even in our books. We’ll just have to test it out and see what the pieces look like a year from now! I saw something implying they will fade a while back and it gave me pause. But I really like them. Such a dilemma! ☺️
@@2lilowlsstudio I saw another artist add watered down matt medium when applying her Tempera paints, it'd be interesting to test that out to see if it makes a difference to longevity. Lovely piece today. 😊
All of the classes on Skillshare do offer french subtitles for all the classes on their site. I don't have that available on my own website currently, so Skillshare would be the way to go for classes! 🤗
Mashas watercolors are so beautiful and so addictive. Good paint day. Hope you have a great week.😊
They really are beautiful! I love them every time I pull them out! Have a good week!! Thank you! 🤗
I highly recommend all of Denise‘s art journal workshops. I have made probably about 10 of them. I love all of them and I can’t quit making them lol❤
I'm so glad you love making the journals!! I love them too! Thank you! 🤗

Love when you pan the video across close up details. Your strokes are so impulsive yet all those details are hidden in there. Wow!
Thank you so much! I love when I can get those little details in there! 🤗
This was a great inspiration, Denise -- this can be taken into a lot of different directions and I'll try a few -- thanks as always for sharing your joy ❤🧡💛
So glad it gave you some great ideas to play with! 🤗
Thanks, love your work!

Loving the wonky idea it looks great will have to have a try of this, thanks for the inspiration Denise x

What a beautiful big ray of Masha's colors mixed together with pen marks!!! I love this double spread! 😍 🎉

Bonjour, est ce que votre cours de reliure est traduisible en français ? Merci

@@2lilowlsstudio merci
@@2lilowlsstudio d'après ce que j'ai compris en prenant via Skillshare, c'est par abonnement ? car je ne vois pas le prix
