Color Circles ll So, today I’m playing with paint and color circles again. My two new colors arrived from WetPaintArt.com. (I love them for shipping to Canada, their shipping charges are so darn reasonable!) I didn’t have Daniel Smith’s burnt sienna or sap green in my palette, I had other brands. I hated the other substitutes…

I Could Make A Seriously Rocking Salad
Color Splodges Mushrooms So the next assignment was to paint up all the produce that I drew over paint splotches I splodged around on a 12″ x 16″ piece of Arches 140lb hot pressed paper. I’m loving the hot pressed paper, if you were wondering. Who knew? Seriously, Tacey had talked enthusiastically about hot pressed…
Raiding The Crisper
Finished Fruit &Veg #1 I forgot to show you the final finished painting yesterday. Here’s how it looks all together. I really love how it turned out. I’m doing Delicious Paint with Tracey Fletcher King over on Community Thrive and I’m loving it more than chocolate! If you know me at all, that’s saying something….
How Much Paint Can You Throw At A Piece Of Papar?
B&W Fruit & Veg Drawing The class Delicious Paint (you still have time to sign up) is going so well it’s miraculous. I’ve never learned so much in such a short time. Tracey Fletcher King is a fabulous teacher. On the left is what I started out with, a bunch of veggies drawn onto Arches…
Eat Your Veggies
Art of Tracey Fletcher King The course called Delicious Paint taught by Tracey Fletcher King is going swimmingly well. Yep, I’m swimming in paint! For anyone who’s interested, there are a few spots left in the class and I just found out that you can still sign up for another week until the class closes…
Paint & Brushes
What a great way to start June. I enrolled in Tracey Fletcher King’s watercolor painting course called Delicious Paint (it started yesterday but I think you can still sign up!) and I’m having so darn much fun it should be illegal, lol. I haven’t been happy with my meager art for quite a while and I…
A Little This & That
B&W ways to add water Moleskine page So I’ve been aimlessly playing in my sketchbook. I should have taken the time to explore crosshatching a week ago as I’m taking SBS’s “Stretching” course, their fourth installment of Sketchbook Skool. I guess this time I’m not feeling as inspired as several of the teachers are into…
Do You Play?
Did you know that I play the ukelele? You didn’t? Hmmm. I learned it in grade five. I had this cool teacher named Mr. Regier. He was something like 6’6″, thin as a rail, with a pouty lip curl like Mick Jagger. Ya, he was darn cool, at least for a ten year old who…
Spring Has Sprung!
Cherry Blossoms outside my window (close-up) We here in Western Canada, Vancouver Island, BC to be specific, has been lucky to avoid mostly all of the terrible polar vortex winter troubles that Central and Eastern Canada has experienced (and still is, actually). We’ve been so lucky here. We’re seeing fully blooming cherry blossom trees, crocuses, daffodils and…
New Moleskine Minus One Monkey Equals ART
Christmas Present – New palette w/DS paint I haven’t been painting much, which disappoints me. Don’t get me wrong, I give myself permission to take breaks when I’m feeling uninspired and I even allow for those times when I’m feeling scared and don’t know what to paint. I have to admit though, I hate having…
