| Windmill by Marla L. Niederer |
I hope you are
still enjoying a creative summer. Over
the past two weeks I have enjoyed some plein air painting. Inspired by Yvonne Morell’s class I took my
art supplies and sketched and painted a wonderful old windmill that just so
happens to be located next to a friend of mine’s home. It was such fun!

I also added color
to a sketch I did while I was staying at a cottage on Wellesley Island this
past spring. Sometimes while on vacation
there isn’t enough time to complete a sketch in color but I often take my
fountain pen with me that my son made. I
just love using it while going out and about.
I keep water soluble ink in it and then can use just water and a brush
to add shading or often I go back and add color with watercolors when I am home
while using a reference photo. I find
the sketching I do while out and about becomes such nice souvenirs of my
trips.
I also wanted to share that this month on my OrsinisAngels YouTube channel I have shared two new free tutorials and will be sharing a couple of journal flip throughs in the coming weeks.
Accordion books by Marla Niederer inspired by 5 books in 5 days challenge
The first free tutorial is on how to make an art journal out of an old book. I had such fun with this so hope you enjoy it also. If you are interested in viewing it just click on the picture below and it will bring you right to the tutorial on my OrsinisAngels channel.

For the book’s
pages I used geli prints that I made. I
thought I would also share how I made the geli prints with you and posted a
free tutorial in case you wish to make your own geli prints too. You can view it by clicking on the picture
below.

for your personal mixed media, collage, and junk journaling projects. You can find out more about them by clicking
