When I put the last video together, I was restricted regarding the polymer clay section of My Personal Art History. Just couldn't find the photos that I thought I had saved. Well lo and behold, the next day I discovered a pile of photograph records tucked away on my back up hard drive. So of course that meant I had to make more parts, or should I say segments to this Personal Art History series. Must say, creating figurines both hman and other kind were great fun. This Art History series is basically a trip down memory lane, sharing or journalling about my Art making experiences. So if you get inspired even a little, great. If you want to learn more about how to create clay figurines, there's a link to my figurines below.
While I enjoy memory lane, may you be even a little inspired to create in whatever way you wish.

Part 5 of my personal art making history. This was my time with polymer clay. Loved working in three dimensional colours. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the physicality needed to work the clay. Take a Look to see some of the fun I had. All of the pictures and more are contained in detail on my channel and this blog.
First of all I am really excited to say welcome to a new subscriber from Japan. They took the time out to make a comment and we just wanna welcome them and say how thrilled we are to know that someone from a completely different country across the world is interested in our channel content. We would love to know more about Japan and even visit there. Unfortunately due to our physical challenges Craig and I can visit through things like Google earth but not on an actual plane. That's why there are so many great YouTube videos and blogs where people share their lives from other countries. For folks like us who can't literally travel I can virtually travel.
And thank you to all of the other subscribers it's hard to believe, that we're up to 783 people. And it definitely helps if you're feeling like it, to like comment share and subscribe to our YouTube channel and any other social media sources.
Today's video is primarily about the progress of Craig's latest acrylic painting. When he has been working on for months and months. At the same time it's a bit bit of a collide as we talk about some other things like we were in a log for walking way overrated. So I will definitely be posting the video on both blog pages.
Another gorgeous day outside. Perfect time for me to Basque outside and breathe in the fresh air, letting the sun's rays show off my new shimmery handmade watercolours. I've already posted some videos about how to create these watercolour paints. but after recently trying to purchase a set from amazon that ended up not working out, the notice claimed that they were undeliverable. It all worked out how it was meant to so I i decided i would just continue making my own.
Another big lesson learned
I also learned that you should watch reviews about items like paint and art supplies before buying them online. So I'm glad it worked out that the product never arrived anyway. Because the day before they were supposed to arrive I was watching other artists on YouTube swatch out and test these shimmer paints and I was quite disappointed at what I saw. I remember saying, oh man my paints are far more pigmented, not worth $55. So I actually ordered up some more chameleon pigment powders to make more paints. My husband keeps telling me to just paint already.
I don't know about you but, it feels like I need to have everything in place and organize just right, and then it means I'll be able to create some great artwork. So far what I've learned in my decades of existence, no matter how organized or how many variations of art supplies I may have, my artwork doesn't get any better. What does make artwork get better, the act of actually doing it. Not worrying about how good you are at it or whether or not you have the perfect brand or colour or paint brush.

But that's not all, I haven't been pleading with my husband all week about this increasingly horrid stench "not" coming from our refrigerator. And yes, if I could take care of it myself, I would happily do so but unfortunately my arms and overall body doesn't like to cooperate with me. Which means my dear husband, has a lot of responsibilities. He is kind of like my arms and legs and I am the nose, eyes,… Well basically the grey matter part. Trying to help out by pointing out things that need to be done or taken care of. I'm not the greatest at it but it helps me to feel a teeny bit useful. However, what happens when he doesn't believe you or has a nose that doesn't quite pick up the same sense you do. 😊If you're married or in a special relationship, you may be able to relate to this. You know, Where one loved one says one thing about something and the other loved one does not agree at all. Usually resulting in some form of ongoing debate or an all out fight. 😏 nothing more frustrating than trying to get someone to see or hear what you see or hear or in this case smell and they insist you're wrong. Definitely one of those moments that result in some humourous content for your YouTube or blog channel.
This video is just an intro into our stinky fridge debate. It's called Worlds collide because when two or more of our blog subjects collide, for instance heartfully creating is intended to be a creativity art blog with tutorials and anything art related. Where as our other Vlog/blog Walking Way Overrated, primarily focuses on anything to do with our unique married life as a couple living with physical disabilities. Sometimes we just can't keep the topics completely separated so today is one of those days, I get to share the beautiful colours from my DIY Shimmery watercolours and then the other subject, our stinky fridge! Worlds Collided.
It's Only been a few months or so of trying to learn more about watercolour (in Canada colour is spelled with a "u"). Have I created any masterpieces yet? Nope. Not sure if any of you can relate to this, but I have an issue with collecting (purchasing) and organizing art supplies. Especially if it is a new medium like watercolour or a few years ago, polymer clay. This includes learning about these palettes I never tried before. When I first tried watercolour about thirty years ago, there was no such talk about this method of watercolour painting. It was all about using paint fresh from the tube. Nothing about using individual half or full pan holders where the paint purposefully dries. Once that happens, you just re-wet the pigments and paint.
Apparently this method prevents wasting of watercolour paint. I have been learning to appreciate the ability to re-wet the paint and use it to create those masterpieces.
Watch Watercolour Palette
This article is about re-organizing my new palette again. Trying to turn my 4 rows of pigment spots to 6 rows, eliminating the centre aisle. The idea to try this was from watching Kristy Rice videos. I noticed she has palettes packed full of paint colours. No need for a centre area. Will I finally get to painting with this variety of paints? Daniel Smith, VanGogh, Qor, Cotman, Winsor Newton and My handmade shimmer paints, Paul Ruben and M. Graham.
A Sneak Peak Just before I look into how to rearrange my new metal paint palettes. Definitely, not use to these kinds of palettes after decades of Acrylic painting palettes!
One of my favourite flowers are… Oriental poppies of course. We have had this plant from seed to its full beauty roughly 19 years ago and it's still going strong or should I say growing strong. It's hard to take just a few Photos. Hence this beautiful Poppy slideshow with some moving pictures as well. One
version is without sound and the other is with copyright free music. Not only do I take pictures for reference photos for future art projects. I just take them because I love the subject matter.
A word of advice, it's good to keep a file of your own photographs of whatever subject matter you think you might want in the future or whatever inspires you. That way you don't have to worry about breaking copyright laws. And being original is always the best. Unless you're doing a study of someone else's artwork. If you do paint or draw from someone else's painting or photo ask for permission or if it's a really old painting like I did in University by Cezanne, then just make sure you give them credit. I believe the one from University it was titled "after Cezanne " and then my name. Something like that.

Summer is flying by at a rapid pace. Instead of painting with Watercolours like I was planning on doing, I seem to be procrastinating by stocking up watercolour supplies, creating new shimmer paints, organizing and reorganizing my paint palettes. I love being able to have moveable colour pans. And
our poppies
Don't ask me how many brushes, palettes and watercolour pads I have purchased. If Amazon only had a frequent shopper reward system.
Make Your Own Paint
This is about how I learned to make my own shimmer paints using Interference and shimmery/mica type pigments. As well, you will also see my transformation to a Smurf!
Of course there are many tutorials on creating watercolour paints on your own. Google them. I just want to share how I did it with as little effort as possible, without mulling. How do we learn if we don't experiment and learn from others.
The cool thing is, we can use pigments to create acrylic and oil and tempura etc. paints also. The key is all pigments need to be combined with the appropriate binder. If you want to make watercolour as in my case, you need Gum Arabic solution (more on that later). For Acrylic you can use and Acrylic gel medium, I would even mic pigment powder with anything like polyurethane, varnish, clear glues. Basically anything that can harden, cure or dry. Using pigments in resins are also used to paint with resin "paint." Then for oil paint, you can use oil binders (not an expert on oil), I think Linseed oil is part of that paint? But not sure.
I definitely use purchased paint whether watercolour or acrylic. It's just after watching others make paint and especially shimmer paints, I thought I can try that. Since I have a collection of mica type pigments, I was excited to not need to by shimmer/colour shifting paints.
Materials Used
💗Shimmery/Mica Interference (mermaid) And Colour Shifting Pigment Powders
Binder ingredients
💗I also used a ready made Gum Arabic binder
💗Gum Arabic (I used it in powder form)
💗Vegetable Glycerin
💗Honey (tried some but decided it made the binder too sticky)
💗Clove oil (as a preservative for the binder that must be refrigerated)
Tools
💗A glass or ceramic tile
💗palette knife
💗a glass jar with lid
💗Paper towels
💗spray bottle of water
💗test paper in white and dark or black for testing paint
💗paintbrush
💗water jar for washing brushes
Watch the video to see how I started mixing pigment powder with the binder. Unfortunately, the camera overheated because it was too hot outside so I didn't complete the mixing process. Adding the binder in a bit at a time, waiting for the mixture to be like a watered down toothpaste sort of. Or kind of like Cheez whiz or sour cream, a combination between Greek and regular yoghurt texture. You can tell I like food by all the food references.😋 And then just make sure I was mixing and pressing down with the pallet knife as much as possible. Even if you think it's just mixed, there can still be unsaturated pigment particles.The more you mix, press, smoosh the powder with the binder, the better the paint will dry and be pretty darn good to use on paper.
Here are the half pan size paint pans
Once I am satisfied at the consistency of the pigment mixture I'd test out the mixture with a wet paintbrush on paper. With interference colours using black paper is the only thing that really works because you can't see the colour otherwise. I just like to make sure it's combined enough to create somewhat of a smooth paint. It's amazing how quickly the Arabic gum binder dries or cure's. Then I scrape it up with the pallet knife and drop it into a half or full watercolour paint pans.
Then let the paint basically dry out or harden. It's important to keep the lid off to let it harden. There's going to be mistakes made, and some paints may end up too wet and never really harden. You can still use them. But that's how we learn lessons. If you want to do the exact correct way to make watercolour paint using real authentic pigments and even the shimmer colour shifting pigment powders that I've used, then definitely check out the video about mowing below to see how it's done. And definitely check out lots of videos, to learn more about this process.
Please note: I do not use the proper technique for making watercolour paint simply because physically, I cannot use a device like a muller. Due to my neuromuscular disability, my hands and arms are not strong enough to even lift that thing. I just wanted to show you how it does work to some degree if you're just using shimmery powders and a pallet knife. Some pigments work better than others. Definer the pigment powders the better it seems to go..
Mulling
glass muller
How to make paints out of pigment powders the truly correct way, involves something called mulling, using a Muller. Here is what mulling watercolour paint looks like with a video on YouTube Showing how to do it correctly here at PearFleur The muller is a weighty piece of glass.
Binders are needed for all types of paint. In watercolour Gum Arabic is used in combination with water, glycerine and some use honey instead or with glycerine. I learned after to heat up the water (some recipes said to) When I did, it smelled badly and eventually it got better. Just look for recipes Watercolour Binder or I also purchased gum Arabic all ready to be used as a watercolour binder.
Yay! We are finally have some much anticipated warm summer weather. We have been behind where we live in Ontario Canada. Even people's gardens were held back at least 2-3 weeks or more due to really cold days and evenings. In our neck of the woods summer is not very long so it is disappointing when the weather isn't as warm. I love the hot days, even to the point of having to run back inside because I can feel my skin cooking!
Today our Worlds Collide because this short vlog video combines both blogs, Walking Way Overrated (Our Life Blog/vlog) and my creativity blog/vlog Heartfully Creating. Craig wanted to show what we did when our key ingredient for supper broke. And I wanted to share some samples of todays watercolour learning. I spent most of the day watching/listening to Watercolour (In Canada we use the letter "u" with the "O" in words like "colour.")

Worlds Collide Part 2: Watch Below
Two Artist Channel Recommendations One of my favourite artist tutorial YouTube channels is Kristy Rice's and second best so far is Jenna Rainey. It's because of Kristy first of all, why I am even discussing this topic right now. She helps me to let go of all the watercolour rules I learned over 30 years ago (and why I refused to pursue that medium.) Kristy is the reason why I have now been collecting new palettes, paper and watercolour paints! She uses white watercolour paint! I had learned that was a no no. She loves using colour boldly like I do. Bold colours are not something one thinks of when one (I) think of traditional watercolour painting. I really like how fun and inspiring she is. So check her out here. I also ordered her custom brush set. Don't tell Craig, it's a surprise. He is trying to learn more too about watercolour techniques.
And Jenna Rainey is so far in my opinion, has a good sense of humour and is more traditional regarding the use of watercolour techniques. As well she has very detailed, well explained tutorials like the drawing flower lessons mentioned in my video today. It is very challenging for my way of learning. It feels almost like doing math. I am use to just drawing what I know or see but do not follow any formulas for how to draw something. Which means I may have created some large paintings, drawings and illustrations for cookbooks over the decades, but I'm not that great at how they end up. But I love creating so I try not to worry about tht. Watching Jenna's YouTube channel, is more challenging for my brain and how it works. When I say following her specific directions on how to draw the flowers for example, it literally taxes my brain. Nothing to do with her teaching, it's totally because of how I am used to learning. I have always been terrible at following very specific instructions, it's like brain overload for me. The fact that I was diagnosed with ADHD about 11 years ago, helps confirm why I feel that way. Which helps me to understand that I just learn differently it doesn't mean I can't learn. Which can be applied to all of us. We all learn differently.
Today I did get tempted to just give up and continue creating or drawing the way I normally do. But because, I like the results and and I would like to create a more realistic version of a subject like flowers. I'm going to try not to give up. So in this extremely short video clip, you can see a little bit about what I was trying to learn from her.
A Divided Brain Our brain is divided into two hemispheres the left and the right. The left side is responsible for things like logic and math and the right side is more about where are the creative part comes from and I believe also is where our emotions and feelings emanate from. Women apparently tend to use more of a balance of the left and right brain and men tend to be more left brain driven. Which is why a lot of them are really good at math and logic not super great at expressing feelings and emotion and why the majority of women tend to be very emotional and expressive, and often more able to multitask. This does not mean we cannot learn to use both sides of our brain. It does mean for myself, I am definitely far far away from even trying to learn mathematics. My brain definitely is not balaing it's function between the two hemispheres. We are all wired uniquely. So no matter how your brain functions, you may benefit from teachers using various methods of teaching. What matters most when it comes to art, in my opinion, is that you love making it. So if you want to challenge yourself and learn from others, that's great I highly recommend these two artists for different reasons. If you just want to do your own thing and be self taught like I was for most of my life, that's great too. Personally, I do love the age of the Internet because learning now has become so easy since so many people can share what they know. Some people are great at teaching and some may not be. It all depends on their students and how they learn best to make that determination.
I hope you find inspiration to create however you would like and at the same time find ways to challenge yourself to possibly learn new things and new ways to execute your creative adventures. A really great thing about Kristy Rice is she really focusses on the joy of watercolour and creating with it. Her excitement and enthusiasm is very contagious and is why I am here writing about watercolour and creating with it. If I could learn something new at 56 years old, anyone can.
So we accepted that it was not going to work and we're able to give it away to someone who said they had a friend who could fix it. Tell them they could have it. It wasn't worth trying to find a part and repaired since it looked too complicated for us to manage. No I've been kind of enjoying the challenge of watching TV we need screens like the one you'll see in this video. We definitely have a lot of screens to look at it's just none of them are close to 55 inches. As we look into the open white space we now have because this big black wall is gone, things feel hopeful and better. Craig and I realize we didn't know what we were thinking getting such a mammoth television for such a small space. Maybe we were trying to avoid going to the movie theater. Come to think of it Covid happened a few months after we purchased it. Hmmm...

It's time to move on, it's time to get going... Tom Petty's song is when I like to play whenever it's time to move on, it's time to get going. That's what I decided had to happen with my old power wheelchair. A couple of big changes in the last few days. I had kept my power wheelchair that was almost 18-19 years old, just in case my new one broke down again. If you look back at these blogs and videos you'll see that I had some issues getting my new chair set up. In fact they had to replace that wheelchair entirely within the first six months because the first one was a lemon. Having a lemon for a wheelchair doesn't work well and doesn't exactly instill trust to the point that you want to get rid of your really old but still working wheelchair. So finally, as I look at that big clunker sitting in our living room piled up with stuff, I felt it was safe to finally see if there was someone else who could use it. Thank you God a home was found fairly quickly. Now we have another big space. Spaces are good because then I get to fill it up with something. Just praying and hoping my no four year old wheelchair continues working.
Art Supply Heaven
Worlds are colliding in this blog because not only are we dealing with the television issue, I was happily distracted swatching out new metallic watercolour paints and continuing to set up my new watercolour palette as my art supplies from Currys art supply shop in southern Ontario arrive.
Watercolour traditions out the window, but only if you want to.
Happy art making folks. Hope you are all having a great beginning to what is about to be the month of June already! As mentioned in previous blogs, vlogs and videos, I have been investing in some water colour painting supplies. After excepting that painting large scale acrylic paintings, I was only going to focus on learning digital paintings and drawings on my iPad using procreate and the Apple Ipencil. But as mentioned in a previous video I was inspired by a perky young artist name Kristy Rice. It really helped to hear her encouragement and she also teaches in a way I had not experienced before. Ever since I took that Coollege Night class with my dear Dad over 30 years ago,
I had learned a lot at that night school college class. It was in the very traditional watercolour painting methods. Such as never, ever, ever use white water colour paint. You are to allow the white of the page to show through. That is what your white is with traditional watercolour painting rules. I did used to paint using gouache, because I had felt that it's opacity made it acceptable. This was before I took acrylic painting more seriously. Taking that watercolour class with my dad was a wonderful thing to do with him. And I made a couple cool paintings but, I actually found it intimidating and not impressed by the lack of colour that I need in my artwork. So I would defeat the purpose of the whole watercolour method. Being a heavy-handed artist for me means that I do not use a lot of water in watercolour paintings and I use a lot more paint so the images are brighter more colorful. So pretty quickly I worked mostly in coloured pencils when I couldn't use an easel and then acrylic painting once I had an easel that my dear Dad made for me.
(I believe God inspired this idea during one of my university art classes: I was asked by an art professor how I could draw or paint on a flat surface. Some thing I had grown up doing my whole life. I never ever thought of drawing or painting on an easel. She pointed out that when it image or a picture plane is up in front of your face you can see the perspective and proportion more accurately. Because of my neuromuscular disorder spinal muscular atrophy type three, I just did not have the strength to lift my arm up holding a paintbrush to a canvas. Then one day that eureka moment came! And I do believe it was from God. I got the idea to rest my elbow upper arm area on my desk edge. And then to lean my canvas against the back of the chair that goes with the desk. I'll come with my own chair anyway, ha ha because I use a wheelchair. And then it worked perfectly, I was able to paint using an easel for the very first time in my life. And this was later in life. I had been making art ever since I could basically hold a pencil. I will explain more in a future blog video about why I couldn't go to university to take art right out of high school. Let's just say I was able to enrol in my late 20s! )
I was working on building up a new pallet of higher quality watercolour paints and thought you might like to see what that look like so far.
Watch The short Video Below
The most exciting thing about being able to mix watercolour pigments is you can create your own colours and still let them harden or dry out in a little half pan or full pen, components. I must say I am slowly learning the benefits of watercolor. That I will be able to go outside and paint without worrying about the paint drying too fast. Acrylic paint requires having a spray
bottle of water with you at all times. Working outside is basically impossible because if it gets the wind happens, it will dry faster. And watercolour just like its counterpart gouache, can be reconstituted or rewetted every time you want to use it. It lasts for a very long time. And since I wasn't able to do tiny work when I used acrylic. If you've seen some of my personal art history videos, you'll notice that the paintings aren't exactly small. However, using watercolour I have discovered that as long as the brushes are tiny enough, I am feeling more comfortable about working on a smaller scale. Before this the thought of working or painting in small-scale would intimidate the heck out of me.
Colour mixing 101
I believe I did learn this most beneficial information when I did take that watercolour class. If it wasn't then, I know it was a long time ago. That you do not have to buy every mixed paint colour there is. If you were starting out as an artist or dabbling in it because you're curious about becoming an artist. Or you're just someone wanting to have fun with art making materials like paint and don't have a lot of money, this will help you like it help me. There are three colours in the world that cannot be manufactured, meaning by mixing certain other pigments or colours together. The best example that modern folks might find easier is looking at your printer ink cartridges. Did you ever wonder why just three colours yellow magenta and cyan blue along with a black, can print anything in any colour you want? It is because those three colours yellow red or in the case of magenta it's a cool red, and the yellow is a cool yellow, and the cyan is a cool blue. When layered or mixed as they are in paint. That's resulting in the creation of secondary colors. If the first three are called primary colors, meaning single or one, then taking one primary and another primary and mixing them means to or secondary colors. Making your own colour wheel may really help lay this out in your mind. No again I learned this a long time ago, and this next part I learned then too. At first I was excited and thought yeah, I can just make whatever colour I want and I will get the results in an inexpensive way. However, the main blue I had was called ultramarine blue, and yellow was lemon yellow and a cadmium yellow (a warm yellow) and an alizarin crimson and most likely a cadmium red middle or cad red deep. When I started mixing the pairs that would make the secondary colors. I was very disappointed that ultramarine blue and a warm yellow made a very dull green. And alizarin crimson and a warm yellow again didn't quite make the orange I was thinking of, ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson made it dark purple. But none of that secondary colours were that impressive. Thankfully I experimented with the other kinds of blues yellows and reds that I had. Turns out the kind of secondaries you get depend on the type of primaries you use. Just like your printer ink, are those three colours always plus black (which technically in the art world is not a colour it is absence of light and white is all light at once- hopefully I've explained that correctly) Black and white are used to tone down or lighten a hue.
So I discovered to get nice bright colours I had to use more cool colors. If you're asking what are cool and warm colors? I'm gonna let you think about that as you look around the world and that artwork. Think about it even as you use your art supplies if you have any. What colours feel cool and wet colours feel warm.'
In the future I hope to elaborate more regarding colour theory and about colours that are manufactured through using synthetic pigments. In the history of painting, we know as early back as cave paintings, that the images found in there are often made out of things called yellow or red ochre or iron oxide. Those are pigments ground up into a fine powder and a binder possibly egg yolks and water, and then creating early paints.
And to get brilliant colours like lapis lazuli which is a gemstone, it would be ground and ground into a very very fine powdered pigment. These kind of pigments still exist. There's lots of videos on YouTube you can find about people making their own natural pigments. But I want to talk more about creating the colours that make you happy. For me personally that means creating mega bright colours.

Hi guys. Welcome to Part 4 of My Personal Art History. Today I want to share the Handmade Jewelry period of my life. It was not planned at all, a total impulsive decision after I had given a little friend a pair of clip on earrings that were broken. So I thought I could find a replacement pair or parts to fix it. Instead, I ended up telling Craig an hour or two later that I was going to start making jewelry and selling it because I had just spent two to three hundred dollars on jewelry making supplies like beads, wire, findings and such. As you will see at first after Craig made me two beautiful jewellery holders, we set up a sales table at a city fair of sorts trying to sell my new jewelry. After a long tiring day, we decided selling that way was not feasible for us. Then I discovered Etsy.com, set up my new shop called A Bergie Creation. It was a blast for ten years selling pieces all over the world. Watch the video to find out why it ended after ten years.
Welcome to Part 3 of My Personal Art History. This time I wanted to share my journey thus far with digital drawing then and now as I have been trying to transform from using art making materials like paper and pencils to my new iPad Pro using the Drawing App Procreate.
Yay, I was able to get out part two of my art history series. Unfortunately, I tried to type out cosed captions and discovered I am unable to type out all the words in a timely and accurate manner. I tried to do it today and it took me over two hours of making mistakes and then finally ending it before I was done. To check it out here is My Art History ;Painting video here.
Thank you to those wanting closed captions. I wholeheartedly wish I could just click on a button and it would automatically transcribe the script. If anyone is interested in volunteering to transcribe the audio to create closed captions, please feel free to message or email us. Until then, I will continue trying to be mindful of using descriptive titles and/or text to help explain what's happening. And try to type out more in the accompanying vlogs. These days my energy levels are a cause for concern. Always happy just to get the videos completed at all.
Today's video is part two in my Art History Series featuring Drawings and Illustrations.
Decided it would be fun to share my personal Art History broken up in parts according to the various media I have got to work with over the course of my life. Part one and two are focused on my number one, main discipline, drawing/illustrating and painting. My hope is to encourage and inspire budding artists of all ages and for those just interested in watching. Who knows, maybe someone will discover they are more creative than they ever realized.
