COLORFUL Playful Fun

Creativity isn’t about size, but about translating what you see in what you can make. The other day I saw this little label on a present and I loved it. Today I will turn it in to a giant one and show you all the steps.

Materials
The art materials I use in the videos are not sponsored.
I prefer to work on multi-purpose paper, more info in this video: • How to choose the RIGH...
In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video.
Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.

Good day Albert, I hope you are in good health. I watched this as I was having breakfast, the sun was shining through the window. Our cat Minstrel, was laying on the window sill among the potted plants, enjoying the sun. What a lovely start to the day. I liked the ideas in this demo. For me, it was when you cut them up that the images really came to life. Bigger is not always better! You have inspired me with a few ideas, thank you. The luggage label you showed, is something that people in the craft world have been doing for some years. Anne has bound a collection of labels she has decorated into a book. Related to that, crafters decorate postal envelopes, leaving an area for the address, then send them to friends. Also, they send "happy mail" to friends. This is an envelope containing bits of things which can be used for crafting, and small things they have made. Nice ideas to brighten the day for people.

Thanks, Gordon. You paint a lovely scene with a happy cat at the window between the plants. Thanks. The card was made at a daycare center for mentally challenged people. Some love to do craftie stuff. I loved the little gem and saw the opportunity to challenge myself to make a bigger version. It was interesting to do. Have a good day, Gordon. I hope you're doing well. We have some sunshine this weekend, so off I go to welcome the sun now. Albert

[@patmcphillips2530]

Oh man, that big reveal! Every single piece is wonderful. I am def going to make a stock pile of cards.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Pat. Enjoy making a big pile. Albert

[@patmcphillips2530]

I just recently discovered adding pen and India ink to my acrylic paintings, and I just love it. It adds so much. You have to be sure to buy a quality brand that does not bleed when used with acrylics.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Pat. You're right, sometimes cheap is okay, in this case quality is better. Albert

[@culturefan]

That original painting reminded me a bit of Gary Panter's work. He's generally a painter too, a cartoonist, and worked some on Pee Wee's Playhouse back in the day. Inspring as always. Thanks Albert.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Culture Fan. It's indeed a combination of all kinds of scribbling and quite a challenge to make it to the end. But it's fun to try. Albert

[@susanasilva2737]

I loved it. It's a good way to improve the skills and put your imagination running wild. Thanks for share

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Susana. You're totally right and, don't forget, also fun to do. Albert

[@doncook2054]

Thanks, Don. And make it a great day, Albert

[@chrisburns1171]

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, taketime. Just hoping to spread some new ideas. Albert

[@francavan1295]

I have been making my own personal cards with this method. The fact that my artwork goes around, circulates, makes me happy. I also use my pieces for shopping lists and then leave them in the stores for people to find them. 😁 Thanks Albert! You gave me these ideas ❤

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Franca. Lovely combination art and shopping lists. Great to hear you leave the treasures to be found. Art and humor, even better. Albert

[@otmarkeller4156]

tolle Idee.

[@otmarkeller4156]

leider komme ich erst jetzt dazu. Das Tolle an deinen Videos ist, dass sie immer wieder bei mir den Drang hervorrufen, einfach was zu tun. Das ist großartig. Danke!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Otmar. Do, Do, Doing is king or queen. Enjoy playing around. Albert
