What happens when you start Mixed Media Watercolor with Tape & Ink? I masked off white areas with tape, made expressive marks with my Cola Pen, then added watercolor in just 3 colors, Sepia, Manganese Blue Hue and Cadmium Yellow light. The result was pretty cool!
Go check it out and let me know what you think. 👇

I made a DIY Cola Pen out of a Starbucks can and leopard duck tape and then used it to start a mixed media watercolor.

The marks this thing makes are unlike anything I've used before. Expressive, unpredictable, and a little addictive.

Go watch, then raid your recycling bin. You're going to want to make one of these.

New video! I had my supplies all planned out, watercolor washes, the Gelli plate and soft pastels, but the piece still managed to surprise me. 😄 Do you usually know what you want the finished piece to look like before you start or do you just let it unfold?

New video is up! 🎨 I'm layering soft pastels over watercolor in this fun experimental mixed media piece and trying out some new pastels while I'm at it. Have you ever mixed these two together? 😍

I found a set of soft pastels with colors I will use! 😍 This is the 36 pastel set from Lightwish. Not too bright, slightly muted earthy tones in full sticks. The aren’t too soft to make detail marks but go down easily. Best part is they were $30.👀 Can’t wait to play with these!

New video is up and this one got interesting. I mixed Artgraf water soluble graphite directly into watercolor paint and some of the results I totally did not see coming. It was a fun play!

Have you ever mixed graphite into your watercolors? I would love to know what happened.

🚨New video is up and this one is a fun one. Did you know you can make your own graphite watercolor paint with a single graphite stick? No special products needed. I tested it with a Lyra 9B graphite stick and the results were really cool!Have you tried anything like this before? I would love to know.
