Art VLOG - Get Stuck
As I've been getting ready to begin new work I've been doing plenty of sticking!
There are snippets of collage papers everywhere and I thought now would be a good time to do a quick demo on how I get my early layers of collage papers well stuck to my surface before I begin to paint.

Art VLOG - Lotsa Layers
This Vlog is all about gelli printing onto larger sheets of paper and building up layers to create papers for collage.
When I'm looking for papers for collage I love to discover structure within the layers of paint and print, and the stripes created by removing excess paint from the roller onto a 'dump' sheet make a great starting point.
I returned to my weeds for this video and took impressions from them in a couple of different ways.

Art VLOG - Tea Box Print
I've spent a few days exploring the printing possibilities offered by a variety of different types of waste packaging.
I felt I was about due for a gelli printing session and I've been saving interesting pieces of cardboard and other materials from going straight into the recycling bin; and my pile was growing and growing so I thought it time to have a go!

Art VLOG - Exploration Time
I recently set myself a little challenge – to fill a sketchbook using a limited number of materials and monochromatic palette based on black and white.
I wondered how much information I could gather from my environment if I sat still in one place for a time, let my eyes wander and just observe and absorb what was around me.
In this case, it was mainly foliage of various different kinds.

Art VLOG - Fixing Charcoal
At this year's Noosa Open Studios I think the most commonly asked questions were about incorporating pencil and charcoal into mixed media work. So I thought I'd share a quick summary and a demonstration video about how I set these types of marks so that they stay put and don't keep smudging as the work progresses!
