summer mornings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

I've spent a little time in my art journal

every morning this week

this girl has changed everyday

I had no idea that I would use all

this color

I had no plan for her except for her pose

I really love painting this way

no expectations no stress

for perfection

just let her appear

use whatever color I love at the moment

marker paint color pencil

I try them all

I don't love the painting the whole time

in the past I would've

crumpled it up

said it was ugly

not anymore

I've learned too many ways to fix it

and I keep trying till

I love it again

 

aaaahhhhh! mornings outside

with coffee are another favorite thing

mr darcy and muffie jo

agree

 

also loving:

loud beautiful fireworks

extra sleep

books

deer and foxes

chickens around my feet

 

 

 

 

 



 

 



taking classes

 

Online classes are a good way to learn new techniques, learn how to use different mediums, and get your creativity flowing again.  I have been

joining in some classes in drawing and painting on Creative Bug and plan to start a more soon.

These pictures are of my completed works.

art journaling

 

 

     I've spent most of the summer art journaling. I started a few paintings but haven't gotten back to

     to finish them.  The first half I was into an e-course by Alisa Burkes. Then I joined Creativebug

     and have been enjoying  a class by Pam Garrison.  I've learned new techniques from both classes

     that I hope to put to use in my own work.

 

     The following photos are my art journal pages done in ink, marker, watercolor, acrylics, crayon,

     really whatever I had on hand.
