‘Breathe’ mixed media and Lavinia stamps

[@SylviaSchenkelsvan57]

I was in a strange town, feeling a bit miserable and grey. My thoughts where black. Living in a world full of pain and war. It was raining for several hours. Sudenly, the rain stopt and the clouds where moving away in a gentle brise. I walked just around a corner and there it was! A beautifull garden, full with colourfull flowers and bees! It was your art that was blowing me away! Thank you Lisa, you made my day!

[@inkyblisscreations]

I love your imagination Sylvia! So glad it cheered you up! 🙏🌸❤️

Merci beaucoup! 🙏❤️

[@bridgetjones8339]

Beautiful art work. Enjoyed the process. Where did the green grass pieces come from? Free hand?

[@inkyblisscreations]

Yes I think so. I did it some time ago so I have forgotten!🤔😁 Thanks for watching! 🙏❤️

[@CharlotteMerl]

Hi Lisa Is it harder to stamp over heavily pigmented backgrounds? Thank you. This is just beautiful ❤

[@inkyblisscreations]

Not really . I spray the pan pastels lightly with fixative. This provides a nice surface for stamping!😊

[@carolnoakes7861]

Another amazing piece of art

[@inkyblisscreations]

I use pastel fixative . It’s no problem stamping on top. The pan pastels also contain binder and aren’t that powdery.❤️

[@reneehussey5126]

Hi Lisa, Stunning piece of art! The putty eraser you used, is it called the faber castell kneaded eraser?tia

[@inkyblisscreations]

Thank you! Yes that is it! ❤️🌸

[@kathyrourke-osborne1305]

This is so beautiful! I would love to try using pan pastels. Do you seal them before using the watercolor on top? Also do you seal your piece when you are finished and if so, with what?

[@inkyblisscreations]

Yes I do! Sorry l forgot to mention that!😁❤️

[@vebutler8957]

Do you use fixative in between the pastel and the stamping? X

[@inkyblisscreations]

Yes. I forgot to mention that! 🙄😁

[@terrisayer6065]

Hi Lisa, whats the difference betwen using gouache or acrylic paint to do tree blossom. Thanks xx

[@inkyblisscreations]

Hi Terri, acrylic paint is thicker and shinier when dry than gouache and not as easy to add layers on top. Acrylic is essentially plastic whereas gouache is water based pigment. It would still work to an extent if it’s all you have. An alternative would be white gesso which is chalky and has a Matt finish. I hope that helps!😊

[@pixidust543]

[@AWillis-ep5sc]

Thank you again for sharing your imagination, skills and passion. Your more detailed explanation of your whys, when and how made even more sense in explaining your creative process. With your ink sandwiches, could you show side by side the half with the dried sandwich next to the half with your additional coloured layers and before stamping to show what you started with and and the final background you ended up with. Thank you again.

[@inkyblisscreations]

Thanks!😘😘😘

[@tinavera2476]

Lisa, what is the very first thing you spray on the paper?

[@inkyblisscreations]

Picket fence and tattered straw distress oxide sprays. Everything is described in the materials section of the video .
