Artfully Wild Blog Along - Day 4: The Catch-Up

Artfully Wild Blog Along – Day 4: The Catch-Up

Oh hi! I’m back – again. I figured the best way to play catch up is with a list! During my absence in this daily project I have been :

Arting outside. (Perfect weather. 77 degrees. Sunny.)

Playing with three very smoosh faced dogs. (Elvira and Kevin, pictured. Not pictured: Hypno.)

Spending a ton of money. (Well, it felt like a ton.)

Getting my car back! (After spending said ton of money.)

Makin…

Artfully Wild Blog Along Day 3 - The Compilation

Artfully Wild Blog Along Day 3 – The Compilation

It. Has. Been. Busy.

I traveled to St. Joseph Friday to get ready for my live paint show. On the way there my car started showing some problems. Okay. So it started grinding SO LOUD. Like metal shovel scraping ice loud.

S t r e s s e d!

I made it to town, visited a few friends. Abandoned some free art.

Went to Brioche:

Painted a spaceship with a really awesome little boy:

Drank the most…

I also have to prepare for a live painting this weekend! I’ll be live painting at a local coffee shop in St. Joseph, Missouri – Cafe Pony Espresso on Saturday. My artwork has been…

Let’s talk Matte Gel Transfers! This is one really fun way to create a really texture-rich art journal page — annnnnd not even have to spend a ton of time. (Unless you want to.)

Here, I’m using a inkjet print out of a recent illustration that I had created in another sketchbook. I’m going to use Haute Mess Matte Gel to incorporate this on to a page in my Haute Mess…

Happy Monday!! I hope that you are well in your corner of the world. Today, I’m going to use one of my zines and repurpose it into an art journal page in my Haute Mess Journal! Being a full time artist, I don’t always have the time to dedicate to really elaborate art journal pages, but I still want to create something beautiful.

When I only have a little bit of time but that NEED to create, I…

Mixing Mediums with Bad Girls Couture

Mixing Mediums with Bad Girls Couture

Happy Saturday!!

Today I’m working with badass mediums to create a fun mixed media painting on a mini canvas. This particular canvas measures 9″ tall x 3″ wide. It’s unique size makes for a really fun challenge!

To prep the canvas I added a nice, even layer of Haute Mess Clear Gesso and let it dry. Next, I used a pencil to sketch my design. Lately I’ve been all about challenging myself –…

Pull Pen Paint 2019!

I’m SO PUMPED to once again be teaching in Pull Pen Paint for 2019!! There is a reason I keep coming back year after year – this class is really special.

The course is designed…

Hello again! Cristin here, this week I’m looking to build on my gesso project! 

I’m using Haute Mess acrylic paints to create a fun and funky art journal page in my Haute Mess journal!

As you may remember, this is where we left off last week. To begin, I’m going to do a wash of Bad & Tatted. By wash, I mean I dipped my paintbrush in water and mixed it with the paint so that it becomes a…

Experimenting with Gesso! [Bad Girls Couture]

Hello friends!

Cristin here, today I’m going to showing you some tips and tricks on using GESSO!

I’m working with the Haute Mess Gesso from Bad Girls Couture and I’m experimenting in my Haute Mess journal!

I created a little video to kickstart some creativity when it comes to gesso. You can use it for so much more than just a primer!

I especially love the Haute Mess Gesso from Bad Girls…

yule tree spread 🌲✨❄️

with yule coming around the corner and the days feeling darker and darker, i created this spread. to not only get a grasp on the year/myself as a whole but to see my growth and progress, and maybe see what changes i could make! i hope you all enjoy and get something out of this. it’s my first spread ive made haha so pls be gentle aha :,) blessed be 💛

1.) star - what has my life looked like this year?

i threw this in here just to get an overall picture of what things in your life have looked like without any bias. cards tell us how it is, so this ones to get a pure idea of yourself this year!

2.) branches - what are my greatest strengths?

what are things admirable about yourself? being aware of strengths in your life is so important, just knowing and confirming you yield some can apply some confidence!

3.) needles - what is one of my greatest weaknesses?

what is something that’s been holding you back this year? sometimes it’s hard to come to terms with and recognize things like this, hence why i included it in this spread.

4.) pine cone(s) - how can i make positive changes in the future?

how can you assure you’re staying on the right path? with the dark half of the year i feel not taking care of yourself and seasonal depression come knocking easier than we’d all prefer. this card is around to push you towards a good and positive path!

5.) trunk - what should i pay attention to in order to stay moving in a good direction?

how can you follow the light half of the year on a positive note? more sunshine is coming, this card is here to assure that more positive and kind things come to you!
