Getting Started: How a prepared Canvas can drastically improve your painting

The number two mistake is leaving the canvas white when they start painting. The first technique I always teach in painting (and a technique I use on 99% of my work) is to cover the white canvas with one solid paint colour which is called a ‘ toned ground’. This is short for ‘toned background’ and is No. 1 of my painting principles. It can be called a ‘toned ground’ or ‘coloured ground’ as it can be used in drawing and painting. Using a coloured ground does a number of fantastic things that are not to be underestimated when starting to learn how to paint. Turner used pre-coloured sheets of watercolour paper with different hues (colours) of browns, blues and greys. When faced with a scene he would look through his pre-painted watercolour sheets and select the most appropriate colour. For example, a warm brown for an Autumnal tree scene.

Kelly Rae believes that inside each person’s heart there exists a collection of affirmations- small whispers nudging them to dream bigger, take risks and trust their creative spirit. Kelly Rae also believes that developing a list of personal affirmations to use in artwork not only allows the artist to identify what they want more of in their life, but also to make deeply meaningful art that reminds them to be their truest self. In this tutorial, Kelly Rae will take you step-by-step through a collage project that teaches you how to incorporate layers of paper and paints, along with a bit of charcoal pencil work, with affirming messages of hope.

Creating a Mixed Media Art Journal

Art journalling give you a chance to bring all of those techniques together to create a piece of art that is uniquely yours. Start with a book ready for altering, a sketch book or a notebook. Open to a new page and give both pages a good coat of gesso. Remember to be aware of the brushstrokes or scratchings you put into the gesso; these will still be visible and add texture to the finished design, after the paint has been added. Next add some colour. To tie the two colours together and to “dirty” it up a bit, add a little black paint, using the edge of a credit card to create thin lines. To add further layers, paint on some tissue paper with matching colours and tear into strips. Now your page is ready for journalling. The brilliant aspect of art journalling is that you can write about anything; it does have that journalling aspect to it!

Happy creating!
