Summer of Colour week 2: pink pink orange

Another quick post from me today!  I had high hopes for the pink, pink, orange week as they are the kind of colours I love!  I went for a bit of experiment...hmmm one I like, one not so much :-P



I bought some new Pebeo mixed media paints to play with.  For those of you who haven't heard of pebeo they are paints that react when you put them on to canvas and other materials.  They also react with each other!  Honestly, that is a terrible description of them...if you would like some actual proper information then click Here you can also look on youtube for some really good tutorials!  I'm still getting used to them, they react in an unpredictable way so you can't really have a firm idea in your mind because it probably won't work out like that!

I like the top one, that worked out quite well! I painted the canvas board with pink UV paint (it's soooo pink) and then just added my pebeo stuff on top to see what happened!  I have to admit I'm not very good with the stuff yet, I either add too much or not enough and I'm not getting the cool effects the youtube tutorial people are :-P It's a start though and I'm just going to have more of a play around until I get used to it!

Well that's it for now, I'm off to have a nose at everyone else's lovely work :-) It's all so inspiring!!

  4. I think they're cool-especially the second one! I have seen a display board of samples along with these products at our local Hobby Lobby and they look so fascinating -but I haven't bought any to try ....yet:)

  9. I've never heard of this type of paint before, but it sounds intriguing. The top painting reminds me of tide pool creatures.

  15. They're both lovely but I am drawn to the first one which as Jennifer said looks like a jelly fish. Thank you for visiting me Anita @itsamistrydesignstudio #29

  17. The top one looks like a wonderful sealife composition and the bottom is equally engaging. Thanks for sharing your experience with these materials. You've encouraged me.

  19. How brave you are to try new products for a challenge like SOC. I agree the top piece isn't bad although the colors look a bit muted except for the bright pink of course. Have fun playing with your new toy - lol

  21. Oh my gosh, I haven't heard of this before. It does sound like its something that needs a little practice,.... and that's always fun! Love your first one too.. think you nailed that!!!

  22. They sound like so much fun! I have to go check out those tutorials! Like a couple of others have said - that first one has a real sea vibe. All be it a neon pink sea :D
