I appreciate collaborating with you, thank you! Working with the edding acrylic markers was the most exciting part, because I have done a lot with those materials in the past 2 years. Painting and doing lettering in christmas ornaments is for sure the most challenging part.
What is your artistic process like?
First of all, I find a very quite space with no distraction. On a piece of paper I write down my first ideas. From that, I sometimes check my old art, to see whether I can improve or change some of my ideas. After the draft there will be a structured outline how to implement the artistic steps.
Hello, I’m Christin, an illustrator, author, and content creator. I’ve authored books on watercolor, drawing, and lettering, and have collaborated with several creative companies in Germany.
Christmas for me is a very cozy season and I love crafting, decorating and baking part of it. So I always try to work less around Christmas, so I have enough time to get all my ideas out.
My plans for the future will be more creative business online courses and more books in which I can bring ideas to live.
Everyday I am kind of creative. If I am not making art, I love to bake and cook, which I am almost doing daily. But I am also a mom and love to spend time with my child.
#upcrate51 HOW-TO-DO-VIDEO by Christin Stapff
Outside, it’s getting dark, inside, it’s getting cozy. And this box from edding meets all the requirements for a snugly creative evening with friends and a prelude to the Christmas season: acrylic markers, chalk markers, gloss paint markers, wooden ornaments, and much more.
Your creativity is given free rein, and if that’s not enough? Grab your tree decorations from last year and spice them up a bit!
I’ve tried out the box and discovered various ways to conjure something magical with the materials. Here are my ideas:
Fresh or dried flowers and the two transparent ornament halves. It’s quite simple: Fill one half with flowers of your choice and close the ball with the other half.
To give it a wintery touch, I once again used the chalk marker to draw a few snowflakes and stars. By using the chalkmarker, the design of the bauble can be adapted the upcoming year. Alternatively, you could use the gloss paint marker, which makes your design permanent and durable.
Tip: The ornament also serves as an incredibly sweet advent calendar: simply hide a small surprise inside among the flowers, ribbons, or a nice note and use the chalk pen to write the respective day on the ball!
Another idea would be a small photo on a string, knotted at the top of the hanging loop, then ‘captured’ inside between the halves.
Perhaps almost too classic, but of course:
I immediately thought of Christmas decorations, sipped on cocoa, and began with the pattern design: inspired by some Scandinavian influences and letting the colors guide me. The red color of the acrylic marker pops beautifully against the light wood tone and is perfectly complemented by gold, which also allows for working in a more dimensional manner. Using the acrylic 3D double liner’s fine tip, slowly applying some of the acrylic paint and letting it dry thoroughly, gives the ornament a tacticle relief!
I wanted to refresh the classic combination of red and gold and added a few accents in blue.
A small, compact advent wreath. The white color of the chalk marker provides a contrast to the black chalkboard and is therefore ideal for imitating an Advent wreath. Using simple shapes such as leaves, buds or berries and candles, you can design a beautiful arrangement. Each Sunday the drawing can be supplemented with a flame. Use the wooden stand that is included, to place it upright and to decorate your home.
1. Let’s continue with the included paper: I wanted to create a few funky cards or gift tags from it. Using the acrylic 3D double liner, I initially drew two flowy lines, applying some pressure to the wide tip to create interesting textures.
2. Then, with the black fibre pen, I added a simple figure. I gave her solid shoes and a small package that she holds in her hand.
3. Finally, adding some red accents with the acrylic marker and bronze accents with the gloss spaint marker: earrings, a bow, and details on the pants. The card is now complete. This technique is great for easily creating many
And suddenly, the table is full of decorations and art. Have fun recreating these ideas!
SAILOR OF THE MONTH
@frigorifica
Hello everybody!
My name is Lina and although I am German, I live on the Spanish coast with my old cat Pepe.
As a child my favorite pastime was always drawing and painting, but then came other interests and life. However, at the beginning of 2021 , after a heavy blow of fate, I rediscovered my joy for the creative…. It helped me in this dark time to find peace and at the same time to do something very satisfying.
It was also then that I came across the Upcrate Box. It helped me a lot to find new artistic approaches, try different materials and discover styles. I entered the contests every month and share my images on social media (Instagram: @frigorifica). This way I could share my art journey with many others and also use it as my little art diary. Through this I quickly found new friends and inspiration. It’s just great to be part of the Upcrate and art community!
So many talented people, be it beginners or professional full time artists, are in this community. Every artwork is inspiring!
I have never attended an art school and teach myself my skills through art textbooks and tutorial videos. Watercolors, acrylics, markers, oil paints or pencils and crayons, by now I have tried every medium at least once. The same goes for the different painting styles and themes. I would love to be able to paint everything and paint with everything. I know that this is a rather unrealistic dream, but I hope I still have a lot of time for many more paintings. Therefore, I have not yet developed its own style. Most inspire me pictures of animals and nature. Especially pictures of my favorite animals, elephants.
I feel incredibly honored to be Sailor of the Month. It’s almost uncomfortable for me because I think I’m nowhere near as good as some of the other artists in this community. But I hope that my images inspire, excite and encourage you to keep creating new artwork. Just like yours always do for me!
