Butterflies on envelopes

En ole postannut lähetetyistä kirjeistä pitkään aikaan, joten tässä muutamia tänä kesänä lähetettyjä.

I haven't posted photos of outgoing letters for a long time so here are a few recent ones from June and July.

 To Singapore (letter + matryoshka bookmark):
letter
Singaporeen lähti kirje uudella kirjepaperilla sekä maatuskakirjanmerkki.

Koska lähettäjän osoite meni postimerkkipuolelle, lisäsin toiselle puolelle sille tarkoitettuun paikkaan perhostarran.

To Spain (letter + matryoshka bookmark): 
My new owl stamps are in the photo too.
letter
Espanjaan lähti myös maatuskakirjanmerkki kirjeen mukana.

To Ghana (letter + Finnish coins + pictures related to Finland and Summer):

Ensimmäinen kirjeeni Ghanaan, myrskyisässä kuoressa, kurkkupostimerkillä varustettuna.
letter
Lisäsin kirjeen toisen sivun taakse vielä Suomeen ja Suomen kesään liittyviä kuvia lehtileikkeistä.


 To Norway (letter + matryoshka magnet):
letter
Norjaan lähti kirjeen kanssa maatuskamagneetti.
letter
Leikkasin kuoren käytetystä, isosta kirjekuoresta ja liimailin päälle käsien muotoisia leikkeitä lehdistä. Idea käsiaiheeseen tuli taas Future City - Helsinki World Design Capital -postimerkistä.

100 Art Video Ideas for YouTube

Image
Having trouble coming up with ideas for art projects, art blog posts or art YouTube channel videos? I've listed 100 (or 101) art video title or topic ideas for YouTube in this post. A lot of them work for blog posts, too. Some of them you can use as ideas for you art projects that you don't even post online. I divided the list into sections: general art video title ideas, art challenges, art tutorials, themed artworks and art series. Some art challenges have many versions of them (3 marker challenge, 2 marker challenge and 1 marker challenge or 10 minute and 30 minute drawing challenge), but I'll just name one of the versions. You can download the list PDF format to save it or print it out.

Do You Have to Prime Cardboard Before Painting?

Image
Do you really need to prime cardboard with gesso before painting? I previously made a blog post about how I prepare cardboard for painting by priming it with gesso and why you might want to do that. This time I'm testing, if you really have to prime it by showing you a comparison of painting on primed and unprimed cardboard with acrylics. Let's see if the primed vs. unprimed cardboard painting results look different or not and whether I'll be contradicting what I wrote in that post. You can watch the video version of the primed vs. unprimed cardboard comparison or continue reading below. Cutting the cardboard I cut up the cardboard into two pieces, so you can get a fair comparison. It's the backing of a watercolor pad, so it's quite thick. So, I had to use a utility knife to cut it in half and then a nail file to smooth out the cut, because I couldn't get a clean cut. Then I used little nail scissors to clean off the rest. I've used up a ...

How to Transfer Sketch onto Painting Surface

Image
As I've mentioned before, I don't usually draw my sketches for paintings straight onto watercolor paper or canvas. I draw the sketch on a separate paper, where it's easier to erase and clean up the outlines and then transfer the finished sketch onto my painting surface. In this  blog post I'll list five different methods to transfer your drawing onto the painting surface. They're all either cheap or completely free. Some require a computer or other technology and some don't. So hopefully, if you're struggling with how to transfer your sketches, one of these methods (or a combination of some of them) will suite your budget and the supplies you already have available.
