THE PERSON BEHIND THE ART

My creative journey

Hi, I’m Petra Jongbloed, the artist behind Just Paint.

Creativity has been part of my life since I was young. Over the years I have worked with many different artistic mediums, including acrylic paint, watercolour, ink, pastel and charcoal, before eventually discovering epoxy resin.

For me, making art is a way to let go, express what I feel and create some quiet in my mind.

Working with resin adds another dimension to that process because it teaches me to let go of complete control over the final result. Every project develops in its own way, and that unpredictability is part of what makes resin so fascinating to me.

OUR CREATIVE FAMILY

My journey with Molds and Shapes

What I enjoy most about working with Molds and Shapes molds is the freedom they give me to create layered and dimensional artwork.

I’m especially drawn to geode, druzy and deep-pour molds because they give me space to experiment with depth, texture, colour and mixed-media techniques.

I like returning to a mold several times during a project, gradually building up the artwork layer by layer. This makes each piece a process rather than just a single pour.

The variety of Molds and Shapes designs gives me the freedom to approach every project differently and explore new combinations of resin, texture and other materials.

CREATIVE EXPRESSION

My favourite techniques

I love experimenting with different techniques rather than limiting myself to one particular style.

I’m naturally very analytical, which makes experimenting and discovering new possibilities especially interesting to me.

The projects I enjoy most are pieces that develop over several sessions. I love building multiple layers of resin to create depth and combining epoxy with other materials and techniques.

Mixed media is an important part of my work. I enjoy combining resin with eco resin, textured surfaces and other artistic materials to create depth, contrast and structure.

Sharing what I learn is also an important part of my creative process. Through my YouTube tutorials, I hope to inspire other artists and help them discover new techniques and possibilities for their own work.
