QUICK and EASY TECHNIQUE that make backgrounds POP

Ingrid Blackburn 2024-10-22 | QUICK and EASY TECHNIQUE that make backgrounds POP

simple textures...

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-08-15 | Simple intentional layers of acrylic paint on a gelli plate are all you need when you're looking to build up texture. It's just like life.

I lost my mom two years ago on a monday. It makes art this week hard. A good friend once told me that remembering is just another way of loving.

Remembering you lots mom. Miss you.

I'd love to hear from any of you. Feel free to leave me a comment.

What do you see?

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-07-30 | Mysterious shapes will sometimes just appear in monoprints and art that were not intended. In the live gelli printing session the chat kept seeing different shapes. I can't see anything beyond the flowers! Help me find what they see!

Making GELLI PRINTS that GET USED in projects

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-07-29 | Lately I've been needing more and more gelli prints for projects in my art journal, coasters and on canvases, but I never seem to have the "right" one that isn't on paper! It's been frustrating me, so I decided to sit down and just create a large stack on deli, tissue and rice papers to use in my daily art.

Join me live - bring your Gelli Plate, paints that you love, stencils and texture making materials. Let's craft a bit together! :)

My GO TO TIP to add bits of depth to a gelli print

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-07-29 | Sometimes the simplest of things offer the most opportunity to add depth to a piece. This is my GO TO way of adding bits of interest, grunge, you name it!

You don't have to always pull an ENTIRE print - grunge up little bits too! SO much you can do.

Start doing the things you love #shorts

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-07-20 | One of the problems I run into when I sit down in my art studio, is overwhelm. Supplies, environment, feelings, life. It ends up paralyzing me, and before I know it, I’m not creating, I’m avoiding.

I started and stopped this page so many times. But, I wanted to play, have fun, so this time, instead of letting it keep me from creating, I decided to turn the page, do the simplest of things - journal. Then I started a few more. I took the pressure off from having to finish. Then I came back, and added to it, in bits and pieces.

The cool thing is, if you don’t like where it ends up, throw some gesso over it and start over. This isn’t class, there’s no bell ringing that time’s up. That’s the beautiful thing, only you get to decide when you’re done.

I believe that sometimes you just have to take the work out of artwork, so that you can just enjoy the art. The point was to have fun with it, do the things you love.

All you got to do to get there, is start.

Mixed media art is a feeling. Don't deprive yourself of sitting down and enjoying these moments. Just start.

Stuck CREATING TEXTURE? Look at nature around you!

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-06-06 | Sometimes when I struggle to find that spark for a project, all I need to do is open my eyes to my surroundings. This morning, I saw a decaying leaf on the ground. I reached down and instantly say depth, character and a spark of creativity surged in me. I'm taking that leaf, going to break down what I saw and how I started to think about translating life into art in this live. Ask questions, join me and a few friends (@Tiffany Solorio &@Keren Tamir) today as we explore techniques and great ideas you can immediately implement in your projects.

Mixed media artist does the unexpected 😮🎨 #shorts

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-04-14 | Art is a feeling. Texture is built up over time. Layer after layer, all in all...there were 17 pulls to this gel print that added texture and depth to create this landscape. The memory of golden wheat fields under a crisp blue sky in Tuscany, captured on a gelli plate. Art...it's a feeling.

Gelli printing is magical, try something unexpected. You just might surprise yourself.

STEP ONE! Getting started with ALCOHOL INKS

Ingrid Blackburn 2022-02-06 | Learning the do's and don'ts raises frustrations and questions. As a professional artist, even I sometimes start NEW mediums! SO, my good friend Tiffany Solorio (Alcohol Ink PRO) teaches me LIVE how to get the best results right from the start. Whether you're a PRO or a Beginner to Alcohol Inks, Join us as I try out ALCOHOL INKS for the FIRST TIME! But learn the Do's, the Don'ts and all her secrets!

I first bought three colors 7 years ago. I never used them. Honestly, I didn't know how to, and was a bit intimidated. I would watch all these cool videos from friends on them, and say oh that looks so cool, but something held me back.

I added more to my collection over the years, I even bought a fancy tin to store them in...but they still collected dust!

BUT, now I'm ready to jump right into the deep end, with a little help. I decided to commit to doing this, so I added some more colors - cause why not? I've got the paper, some simple tools, and I'd LOVE for you to join us today as we dive into the world of gorgeous alcohol inks.

Here are the supplies I'm using: ldli.co/e/lmm9zd0
I will update the colors I actually used after! ;)

THE SECRET to better snowy Christmas cards #shorts

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-12-17 | Want BETTER RESULTS with SNOW on CARDS? It's all about this ONE thing. It's simple, but important.

Snowy cards are my favorite, but when you're building a scene, it's important to remember where YOU are in the card too. The viewer (receiver) needs to feel like they are literally in the scene for it to feel real. You want it to evoke emotion - art is a feeling.

Getting that real snowy bank feel is simpler than you think. Here's a longer tutorial to help give you the skills you need to nail this technique: youtu.be/CRuNwJ0pR4s

I have LIMITED TIME to make Christmas Cards

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-11-27 | Life gets crazy, fitting DIY Christmas cards in can sometimes be a challenge. The past few years have been hard for me in getting my usual stack of 100+ DIY Christmas cards out, and I've ended up only making a few to give to direct family members, leaving me disappointed that I just couldn't fit this into my busy life.

This year I have a new job, and once again am struggling to find the time to fit this fun and let's be honest costly tradition that I love in again. So, I was again going to pass on making Christmas Cards...until my friend Lisa said she was going to start cutting people from her list.

But, seeing her say that on a poll right on this channel, really bothered me, even though I know it's fine. It got me thinking, if Lisa was ready to cut others out, it made me think about how others do this too. And all of a sudden this great tradition of walking to the mailbox, seeing happy mail, knowing someone you love is thinking of you this holiday season, is dwindling, and getting lost!

I talked about this very thing in a recent video (linked below), and why it affected me SO much, but it did reminded me that I don't send cards to get cards. I've been missing out on the joy of knowing that I'm connecting with those that I love over the holidays. And that is just a non-negotiable for me.

So I challenged the community to join me in making a stack (even if it's a short stack) to actually get filled out and mailed this year. Here's how my cram packed week went...

Vintage INK REFILL TECHNIQUE in minutes (SIMPLE)

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-11-19 | Creating vintage pieces to use in your art can be done quickly using things you might even have in the house already. One being Ink Refills, another Tea Bags. Tea drinker not required...

Tea Bags offer a stronger surface to add distressed writing and some staining to. I've seen artists like Laly Mille and Keren Tamir use tea and tea bags before, but I don't drink tea, and I love the stained worn look. Walking through the worn leaves in my yard got me thinking, how can I get that worn feel on vintage papers that I love, without having to have that perfect piece on hand always? When I saw the spots on the leaves - that's when it hit me - ink refills!

So I used some empty bags (supplies linked below) and ink refills to get that tea stained look with this fun little technique. You'll find this is quick, easy and great to create a quick piece to add to your mixed media project or card in just a few minutes. LOVE THAT!

Since I don't drink tea, unbleached tea filter bags were the perfect solution for me (linked below for ease)! PLUS I get to use my ink refills in another way.

If using ink refills to dye your tea bags, and then adding water to your project... Be sure to seal using some gel medium. Quickly add to your gelli plate, brayer out, and press your tea bag on, both sides - and it's set. Easy Peasy.

Ask any questions and tell me in the comments how YOU did!!

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-11-14 | I still can't believe she said it. Okay, typed it. It was a real moment, and after jumping on the phone with her, it's 100% how she feels. I totally get it...but HEY, I fall into that category! I'm not proud of it, and it's forced me to rethink a few things and make it a priority...

I'd love to know where YOU stand. Are you in? Joining me? Maybe you're in a much better place this year, and I'm your biggest cheerleader if that's the case (and even if you're not!).

Ask any questions and tell me in the comments if YOU are in, or already on your way, or out this year!!

Easy Gelli Print DIY COASTERS! What to avoid

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-11-06 | We keep so many backgrounds, gel prints, and paper scraps! Why not turn them into something practical? I made DIY coasters with leftover Gelli Prints made with acrylic paint, stencils and my gelli plate. The PROBLEM with sealing these coasters, is that in all my research, I discovered the best product recommended - BUT...once I used it, they smell, seriously, they literally stink!

I refrained from using resin, cause it's expensive, and I didn't want to deal with all those pesky bubbles. SO, I ended up trying 4 different ways to seal these coasters, because the last thing you want is to ruin the art, right? Then what's the point! Here's what happened...

DIY watercolor CHRISTMAS tree CARD (EASY) #shorts

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-10-27 | Making your own Christmas cards doesn't have to be hard or intimidating. Plus, it can also be quite cost effective! Even if you don't know how to draw, paint or feel like an artist - ANYONE can do this.

But what really makes it special, is that it's unique, one of a kind art. Your peeps will know that you took the time out of your life to do this, make it just for them, and that becomes priceless. It will become the card that genuinely makes them smile. It'll remain on the mantle all year long, go in a frame, and treasured for a lifetime - because you cared.

They'll connect with you, and all it took was a little watercolor, a piece of paper and a few moments of your time.

What are you waiting for? #getcreating

HOW TO make your own PAINT WITH GELATOS #shorts

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-10-14 | Gelatos can be used in a wide variety of ways - some totally out of the box, like DIY Acrylic Paint! Faber Castell Gelatos are so super pigmented, you'll want to experiment and see just how far you can stretch them.

Don't just use them directly on your surface, combine them with other mediums to truly stretch their properties, and use them on cards, art journals, and even canvases.

Gelatos are a great tool to use with the techniques in your toolbox!

This is why LAYERS on GELLI PRINTS matter (ADVANCED)

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-09-09 | Taking your memories, or textures you see in the world around you and turning those into art doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's about developing it layer by layer, slowly, patiently...and getting lost in the moment. That's what art is about - it's a feeling. It's deeper than just materials and a tutorial.

Tuscany is one of those places that creeps into my soul. This monoprint made on a gelli arts gel plate is no different. Just acrylic paint, a brayer, and a gel plate - a flood of memories built up layer by layer, ending in a frameable piece of art that I connect with and ultimately turn into two handmade cards to send to people that I love.

Now it's time to turn your life to your art.

Ask any questions and tell me in the comments what textures or memories YOU want to turn into YOUR art?!!

Too many GEL PRINTS? Heres a SYSTEM (SIMPLE)

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-03-08 | It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the cool gelli prints from your monoprinting sessions. But the question is what to do with gel prints? Which ones make the cut?

I'm collaborating with Kerry Hill from Inkhill Revival today. Together we're reigning in chaos and turning it loose at the same time. Should be a fun pair of videos. Kerry's channel is CRAZY good. Definitely watch a few and consider subscribing. I LOVE the way she thinks!

Seeing MAGIC in a project that was probably TRASH

Ingrid Blackburn 2021-01-19 | THIS is what happens when you let go of perfection. Do you ever clean all that left over paint on your Gel Plate? I'm gonna show you a reason to not do that! And more importantly, how when it's headed for the trash, maybe take a second look. Ask yourself if I just breathe, and let go - can I save it?

Failing is part of the process sometimes. And in that process, you can unlock magic. This is the story of the simple gel print, the one that wasn't even supposed to be anything helped me to break through the worst creative block in my 25 year art career
