After yesterday’s fumblings in watercolor, I went back into my comfort zone today with a mixed media piece. Found Heart by Tori Beveridge It started with doodling and finished with acrylic, watercolor pencils, Faber Castel Gel Sticks, rub ons, stamps and ink on 4×6 watercolor paper. Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 8
Imagine Possibility Mixed Media using watercolor, watercolor pencils, acrylic and ink on 4×6 140 lb cold press watercolor paper. (the photograph doesn’t do it justice.. it’s so much prettier with so many more layers of color and shading than you can see here) Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 6
Thirty? Thirty. Three, Zero. 30 in thirty days. This really is a challenge, especially for someone as new to painting as I am. I got to thinking… after thirty paintings, in thirty days, I won’t be so new. I’ll be more practiced and all because I decided to jump in with both feet and take […]
We’re in the middle of a heat wave, with daily temperatures in the nineties. It’s not a sunny heat wave. It’s a rainy one. It’s humid, so humid, and raining so hard I think we are in the middle of a monsoon. If the sun was out, it would be drier, but the temperatures would […]
Today I’d love to show you two new little aceos/atcs that I did for art swaps. They’ve been sent and received by their new owners, so I’m not ruining any surprises. This first one, done with ink and colored pencils, was for an Alice in Wonderland theme. There had to be one red heart in […]
When I started this, I had no idea where I was going to go with it. First there was the heart on her dress, then another and another…. No matter how fragile you think you, or your heart are, don’t let those thoughts stop you from following your heart, your dreams. Be brave! Be daring! […]
For the longest time, my acrylics have been sitting and collecting dust… well all except my white, I use my white ALOT. I did a little ATC sized practice pear, and a tag for an exchange I’m taking part in Something tells me that white is no longer going to be the only acrylic paint […]
“Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.” ~ Eckhart Tolle Inner Joy done with Inks, Faber Castell Gel sticks, Acrylic and Collage on 9×12 water color paper.
Week 6. The final week. How fast these six weeks went by. It really is true that time flies when you’re having fun. Our colors for this last week were raspberry and tangerine, with a smudge, splash, or pop of lemon. I will miss these deliciously colorful art prompts that inspired all those that […]
Over on Angela Kennedy’s Community, Creative Souls, I took part in an ATC swap. The theme was Alice in Wonderland. Have I ever mentioned I love Alice in Wonderland? I have adored the books, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass since I was a child and have read and reread them more […]
This week, I did two pieces of art for Summer of Color The colors for Week 5 are Royal Blue and Red and a smudge, splash or pop of Light Blue. The first is this girl wrapped up in Red Ribbons. She was done with ink, white acrylic and colored pencils. The second piece started […]
Pink and Apple Green, with a smudge, splash or a pop of dark green. Such luscious, girly-girl colors for this week at Summer of Color. Pinks and greens together, always make me think of flowers, so it’s no surprise that flowers are included in what I did this week. The first thing I did was […]
