Mixed Media Magnolia // Feat. Derwent Chromaflow, Inktense and Metallic Watercolor

[@julieandrew40]

Gorgeous picture Lindsay, you really do show how effective it is to use different mediums.

[@nokiot9]

I like the videos where she uses the ink tense with other products.

[@monica-NJ-123]

Thank you Lindsay , this turned out amazing , it’s like magic , when I retired I started out in mixed media xoxo

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

I love how the butterfly spots kinda match the dotted scrapbook paper in the background. This all came together so well. What a cheerful way to get my morning going, thank you! Have a safe and productive week.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@olderendirt]

Really pretty. I accidentally cut down a knee high pink magnolia my dad got my mom before he passed away. I replaced it and it's about 30 years old now, but it gave her a great story to tease me about. This looks great with all the layers and textures. Thanks so much.

[@tigs6639]

This is so beautiful Lindsay 😌 I really like the metallic splashes at the end to tie it together, I love little details like that. Magnolias are magnificent aren't they! PS. I love how informative your tutorials are, you fit so much information in, lots of little tips and useful ideas. Thanks for sharing, it's brightened my day ☀️🌳

Wow! This is so pretty and it looks like fun!! I will defiantly try this!! Thank you so much!!

[@geriprior751]

Oh this is so pretty. It reinforces being able to draw makes a huge difference in the outcome for so many projects. Need to go back to the lessons learned from your drawing course and keep practicing this part of the painting. Thanks for an interesting tutorial on mixed media.

[@craftergin]

Love this! I do this kind of mixed media in sketchbooks. It's so much FUN! If I wind up with a gorgeous background that I really don't want to cover up, I just stick a Tim Holtz Paper Doll on it and a quote of some kind and call it done. Thanks for sharing this work!

[@JA-ed1tj]

Thank you Lindsay. This looks like so much fun. Your art is so beautiful!

[@lynncooper1781]

Thanks Lindsay. 💜

[@delightfulcreationsbyamber]

Amazing piece Lindsay! I love the way you explained how to do each step. Even though I can't draw I know I can make the background and add elements to make my own art piece. 🥰

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You sure can:)

So beautiful, thanks Lindsay!

I love this project Lindsay ❤ 💙 💕 My favorite and its a mix media one!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@BeckyTregear]

Great mixed media piece, the flowers are lovely over the top, and that metallic paint really finished it off. I’m getting a lot more into collage lately; it’s so much fun and of course any reason to use stickers is good enough for me! 😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You have a nice selection to use 😆

[@theresapalmer7892]

OMG, I so loved this mixed media demo and the derwent inktense on top of the collage. Going to try a page in my new art journal right now.

[@Craftaartissaurus]

Your painting looks amazing 🤩. Enjoyed watching you with all the different mediums. I don’t think I’m quite ready yet to try this though, looks fabulous and I thought the different papers went going to show but I can see them, looks fun.

I have some old canvases with a photo print that is not my liking. Do you know if I can use liquitex ( or qor?? ) watercolor ground on that by any chance? Multiple layers ofcourse. Does that sort of canvas need another prep first?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Just clean the canvas and you can paint watercolor ground in top.

[@AafkeVultink]

@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks will do the microfabre magic on the thing. I wanted to make some watercolor spring canvasses in fairly neutral tones, like pussy willows and cotton balls. No Idea how that will turnout but we will see hehehe fun scaling practise for me that will be :P

[@gingeredawn6764]

love.

[@nokiot9]

What kind of glue stick do you like? I’ve tried the scotch create, the elmers xtreme- but all the ones that seem to not wrinkle the paper seem to struggle to hold paper to paper even. You like bend the paper and whatever is glued to it pops right off.

[@nokiot9]

Or... maybe I was sick the day we learned glue sticks in 1st grade 😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Most glue sticks are junk. I like the Avery permanent or scotch permanent glue sticks. The scotch ones seems to not dry out as easy.

[@alisonmartin6101]

This is gorgeous! I’m attempting to delve into mixed media, but disappointing efforts so far. Can I use heavy watercolour paper as my base to glue on other papers?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Sure!

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I love this! 😍

[@staceylu2195]

What was the ink blocks she used after gluing the paper down?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Inktense. Link in description to the stuff I used

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Lindsay! You create the most wonderful mixed media artworks! I had to back off of the found objects projects when after 20 years I had a customer complain about art they had purchased from me. I had not seen them in years but we met up at a funeral and they were very unhappy about my “painting” it had come apart and portions just fell off the wall. I did ask them why they did not bring it back so I could fix it? They said it was years old and they felt it was to late. Now I might have been able to fix it but the cardboard that I used was what separated, now I thought I had sealed the picture well but it turned out nope! All they had were hard feelings and no artwork and oh plenty of blame for me! I know that archival techniques are not so important to many people who just create for themselves but if you ever giveaway or sell your art be sure it is put together well and as permanent as you can make it! Yeah warnings are quickly forgotten and some people will blame you for mold when it was their swamp cooler that introduced it to begin with! Ahhhh sorry I guess something pulled that string out of me and I blurted all over this comment. Please take care, be safe and enjoy your weekend!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That's a bummer. The surface I used was acid free matboard (for pictures framing) and the scrapbook paper I used was acid free too so I'm not worried about anything I used here.

[@PursuingHeaven]

Eventually I want to migrate to journaling from coloring books that I do now and videos like this really help. One of the things that has stopped me is that everyone uses matte media and that is really expensive. What glue do you recommend and does this replace the need for matte media?

Hi Lindsay. I’ve been watching you for about 2yrs now and you are the person that started me art journaling. Thank you. 😊I’m reaching out to you because you know so many art supply places so I thought you could help me. I’m trying to find Jane Davenport’s older face stencils and a stamp set called free spirit. I’m very hesitant about ordering overseas right now because of everything that’s going on with Ukraine. I thought maybe you might be able to direct me somewhere that may have them. I would be willing to buy them used if they were in good shape. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated Lindsay. Thanks.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Try Spellbinders. They are an American company who sells some of her stuff.

[@dawnrano132]

@@thefrugalcrafter I actually went to that website and placed an order the other day but they were out of them to. I ordered all of Janes layer cake paint sets and a few other things from her but I didn’t order the stencils because I ordered from a site here and the day after I placed my order from Janes site the company I ordered the stencils from refunded my money because they said they couldn’t find them in their warehouse. I’ll just keep looking maybe they will pop up on eBay or Mercari. Thanks for your feedback Lindsay.
