Today’s painting started as another exercise in putting splotches of watercolor on the paper, then seeing what emerged once it dried. I started with the purple and the peach and the blue came after I saw her face emerge, to give her a hat and a dress. Details such as eyes, mouth and nostrils were […]
Today’s painting was a bit rushed but I finished it! Phew! It’s an aceo/atc sized mixed media piece, using tissue paper, gesso, acrylics, Faber Castell gel sticks, the stickered saying and Pitt artist pens. Be Brave by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 18
I set aside the watercolors today and reached for my acrylic paint. I was in a floral kind of mood, but I also knew that I am waaayyy behind in my 29 Faces in September. What to do? How about a face peeking out from behind the flowers? She’s partially hidden, but I think she […]
Yes, another watercolor face today. I had to do one more, because yesterday’s was so enjoyable for me to paint. I was definitely much more relaxed while painting this one. She marks the half way point in Thirty Paintings in 30 Days and my ninth face for 29 Faces in September 2014. Another Face by […]
So far, so good! I’m ten for ten! I am, however, a little behind in my 29 Faces, so today’s painting, I knew had to be a face. I used another advertising magnet as my canvas. As before, I applied a layer of gesso first and then got out my acrylics and painted this cute […]

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 […]
“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.
My theme this past week seemed to have been centered on farms and freshness, thanks to Junelle’s Farmers Market Yum and Art Workshop. This is the last week for it and I am slowly working through it and savoring every project. I love it! The nice thing about it is even though this initial workshop […]
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 […]
A little sketch which I’ll work more on. She has no name yet. I’m drawing a blank as to what to call her. Do you have any suggestions? Linking to: Friday Sketches
Over the weekend I took part in Ellen Million Graphics Sketch Fest #51. I had hoped to have more time to spend, but as the garden and outdoor chores come first, I only had an hour and only time for one sketch. I chose the prompt “Zentangled Anything” by Tiffany Guin and came up with […]
