Researched about my unused art materials

Buy my work Instagram

Researched and studied with youtube about my unused art materials to figure out how to use… 



I have a bootle of gum arabic left over and I am trying figure out what to use it for….


gum arabic can use for making reflection, make paint, correct mistake, binder.... 

DIY watercolor?! 

It must be a good idea to make your own watercolor from your kitchen stuff, but wonder which is more economical to buy paint of corn starch?


I also have left over of Linseed oil… I do not paint in oil anymore. 
But I still use oil pastel. Maybe I use it for pastel painting…
.... And then I found this video.
She uses Linseed Oil for making collage in her art journal. 
That’s inspired me.


Or whatever your furniture or wood craft, I can varnish with it…..

How she keeps talking along with the video is kind of artistic but funny at the same time. 
Documentaly movie touch. 



I also have some bees wax…. 
don’t know much about Encaustic 
What is it?

I may be able to mixed media card too… 



This is easy and kind instruction of mixed media collage with encaustic. 


I was not able to do good with silkscreen in online printmaking class, so I let the Screen Printing Photo Emulsion Kit aside for many years. I review the video again and that looks easy…
I guess I was just panicking while I was taking many art classes online and dealt with many assignments at that time... Right now I am able to be calm and takes time, I would be able to do it again…


Another video for silkscreen instruction using photo emusion kit, but this looks different product from what I have (speedball).




Also this is nice instruction site from ashley hackshow (aka lol blue boo)



pastel cleaning tip パステルの埃とる裏技⁈

it may be kind of common to art conscious people. But do you have any pastel that broken and dusty? I do... 
I read from some pastel books that rice is good to clean them so I tried.

知る人ぞ知るですが、折れて汚れたチョークやパステルがありませんか?あったんです。笑 
パステルの本で見てお米できれいになると知り、やってみました。

First, put a 3 one hand rice in a container... 
片手に3杯分程度の米を小さい入れ物に入れて…

Dump dusty chalks or pastels... 
汚れたチョークかパステルを入れます。


Simply stirring around with brush top and rub them with a hard brush on the surfaces. .... and ta da! 

普通にかき混ぜて、硬めの絵筆で軽く表面をこすってください。米が真っ黒になって、こんなにきれいになりましたヨ。(*^^*)
