At the end it says "Directed by Donna Dowbey"??? Does it always say that and I'm just noticing now? lol
Posted by: ElleCee | March 22, 2012 at 08:32 AM
Probably one of my favorite pages you have created. Love the techniques. Love the colors. So glad you do these videos.
Posted by: Theresa | March 22, 2012 at 08:48 AM
it is some kind of default...it says it somewhere in my computer and it always defaults back to it. its my inspiration wednesday alter ego, lol!
Posted by: donna downey | March 22, 2012 at 08:51 AM
Everytime you showcase a new stencil I'm thinking I MUST HAVE THAT STENCIL. LOVE LOVE LOVE this project. I have never worked with modeling paste, and now that is on my shopping list of mediums to try. I have a box of pan pastels just waiting to be opened and played with and THIS is a project I am going to try ... the edging of these flowers along with the texture of the paste - AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL !!! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!!!
Posted by: Lillian Child | March 22, 2012 at 09:25 AM

Posted by: faygie | March 22, 2012 at 11:04 AM
I really like this one. Have to wait for my day off to try it. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Posted by: Carol C | March 22, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Love those colors together! I am going to try this in my art journal. The panpastels are just the best medium, so versatile.
I am in the Canvas Create class and I may have to try this on a canvas!
Donna - is gouache the same as water colors? I know its acrylic, but does it act the same way as watercolors when you paint with it?
Thanks for the inspiration - just love the ideas you come up with!
Posted by: Diane | March 22, 2012 at 11:33 AM
Well I LOVe the way you combined ALL of the diefferent mediums!! Who would have thought it?? Well, Glad you thought of it and shared the process with us!! Like you're always saying if you think it DO IT and see what comes of it(you'll either dislike it--or you'll LOVE it and either way it is what being creative is ALL ABOUT!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)

Posted by: Teri Buczkowski | March 22, 2012 at 03:48 PM
I love this! I was transported back to November; 19 (20 counting Donna) were in the room. Gesso - white & black, gels, molding paste, stencils, paint covered the tables. It was heaven. But then, came the PanPastels & VersaMark. My life hasnt' been the same!!! Thank you Donna Dowbey!
Posted by: Debbie Cosenza | March 23, 2012 at 02:40 PM
Oh my gosh Donna this looks like fun. Off to watch the video.
Posted by: chantille | March 23, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Your journal pages today make me think of 'unreal' nature, both natural and yet, just artistic interpretation, not real at all. My eye is drawn in and entertained. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!
Posted by: Sue | March 24, 2012 at 07:31 PM
I totally love this! It makes me want to rush out to my studio, whip out my pan pastels and my tiny cube versamark stamp pad and create wildly! Shame I have to garden! LOLOL. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Posted by: Philippa | March 25, 2012 at 05:54 PM
