In this digital world, going old school can be fun - a great book with real pages and a bookmark to keep your place.... Join me in painting a few different bookmarks inspired by Van Gogh's masterpiece Starry Night. I will do a stylised night landscape, as well as one that's a lot closer to the original.
The idea came from a new, limited edition set of colorsheets launched by Viviva. These are dye based watercolours, in a cardboard leaflet, so are super light and convenient to use. The 16 colours in the booklet are inspired by the painting, so colour mixing is at a minimum if you want to paint your own version. In the interest of transparency, I was sent these for free, but all the opinions expressed here are my own.
This is where I got the tassels, wax and the corner punch:

I aim to share a tip or technique every week - usually on Sunday at 2pm. I might throw in a few bonus films or shorts, so it’s worth hitting the notification bell to be alerted to the next one.
