whitmire art whitmire art welcome to the studio of mixed media artist sarah whitmire friday july 19 2013 live painting at local club hey guys i just wanted to pop in and post a few photos from a live paint i did at a local club called the jam here in gainesville fl it was a lot of fun and i will be there again next tuesday night 10pm 2am here s a peek at the piece in sunlight it s not quite finished but close btw i wanted to tell all of my blog readers that i m sorry i don t post here much anymore i have been using facebook as my main means of communication lately because i can easily post photos and updates with my phone and i have yet been able to figure out how to do that with blogger so if you d like all of the latest photos of my work and info about what i m up too please subscribe to my facebook page www facebook com sarah whitmire 77 love you xo sarah posted by sarah whitmire at 10 06 am 20 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday may 11 2012 i painted the 34th street wall i wanted to do something a little crazy for my 32nd birthday inspired by this month s issue of juxtapoz may 2012 i decided to paint my first ever street art mural this would become my first mural my first public art my first street art and i knew the perfect place to do it you see there s a special wall in gainesville called the 34th st wall it s pretty famous around here and even has a wikipedia page http en wikipedia org wiki 34th_street_wall the magic of the 34th st wall is that painting it is accepted graffiti graduation announcements fraternities proposals all kinds of painting are allowed on this wall it s an unwritten law in gainesville that in this spot residents can express themselves without fear of punishment while the majority of the paint on the wall the layers are several inches thick is in the form of congratulations tagging and other graffiti i decided to paint a mural i started on may 2nd the day after my birthday and planned to work until may 3rd two full days of painting but as most things go i ended up taking four days in total to finish this project one reason it took four days is that i had no idea how exhausting it would be may is not necessarily the ideal month to paint outdoors in florida and i learned on day one that the middle of the day was not a good time to paint the heat added to the exhaust of the continual traffic passing by 1 30pm 4 30pm was out so i got up as early as possible and set out to paint as much as i could by the time it got to be too hot then after a quick siesta i would be back to paint until sundown long days but so fun i met some interesting people over those four days including one professional and several amateur photographers who have made it their continuing project to record what is painted on the wall others just stopped to look and make encouraging remarks still others shouted from their cars or honked as they drove by though not all the shouts were pleasant the entire experience was extremely rewarding and educational i had no idea what i was going to paint when i arrived the whole mural was completely intuitive by the evening of the first day i realized that we should be filming so we did please enjoy the pictures and video below here s the sign i posted below the mural the wall being what it is i know that my mural will soon be covered by taggers and others who want the space i thought maybe the signs would buy me some time i hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures and the video and if you live in the gainesville area swing by and have a look xoxo sarah posted by sarah whitmire at 9 41 am 26 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday march 20 2012 i m in the pulse of mixed media

x share to facebook share to pinterest friday july 17 2009 soul journaling prompt easy backgrounds part 1 for this prompt i d like to share a few of my favorite backgrounds having multiple finished backgrounds done ahead of time is a great idea when journaling so that when you have the urge to write or draw or make a page you can do so without worrying about having to prep you pages first making a bunch of backgrounds in your journal before you go on a trip can also be helpful for spontaneous art making and journaling i always have 4 or 5 pages prepped and ready to journal on more if it s a long trip to start i want to show you my most basic technique for priming a journal page and getting down a fast and easy background this is the type of background i use all the time and is a great base for jumping off of with all your creative ideas sarah s must have easy peasy basic background to start glue down random ephemera onto your pages don t use anything precious and do this in a fast haphazard manner ephemera can be pages torn out of old phonebooks textbooks dictionaries sheet music or any other papers you have lying around this is a great way to use up small scraps of scrapbook paper and junk mail too if you are using a thicker paged journal such as a watercolor book you don t need to cover the entire page with ephemera however if you are using a thinner paged journal take the extra time to cover all of your page to help reinforce it use any kind of glue you have handy to stick them down and don t worry about them being perfectly flat if they dry rippled it will just give you extra cool texture when your pages are dry dry brush a coat of gesso on top dry brush means to use a light coat and a dry no water paint brush to apply your paint the gesso will give a light tooth to your pages and is a fabulous primer to protect your papers from sloppy paints and messy work later on tip pay special attention to the crease of your book giving it a second coat of gesso for good measure while still wet draw or scratch into the gesso with the wrong end of your paintbrush or any other objects handy allow to dry fully a hair dryer on low can also help speed up the drying process now choose 1 3 of your favorite mixable paints for this i chose green blue and brown they look nice separately and are fabulous when mixed together if you are new to mixing paints try choosing a favorite color such as red and then using tints of red made by adding black or brown and white to the red this way you will have a red pink and deep red background you can also experiment with color mixing and see what happens tip the more colors you mix the better chance you have of getting a muddy brown color when choosing colors from the opposite side of the color wheel to mix such as purple and yellow you will also get muddy brown instead try colors next to each other on the wheel i added a dot of brown blue and green to different spots on my pages and then added water i allowed them to mix and pool in random places for extra pizzazz you can add a drop or two of interference paints with water here i have added interference blue and though it is hard to see in the photos in person it is very sparky and pretty allow this to dry fully and you re all ready to add art to your new background to get the free easy to print pdf file of this and other new prompts join our inspiring soul journaling community at http groups yahoo com group souljournaling the following bonus backgrounds are also shown with instruction as part of the same easy to print file on our group come join the fun
