i'm taking alissa burke's sketching and drawing class right now...this was A first...i didn't have watercolors, so i watered down my acrylics...it was such fun, though quite imperfect...and am learning learning loving LEARNING!
i might retire soon, so while i have a paying job, i've been taking these classes and wow what a TRIP!!!
a shadow casts itself across this collage i did during misty's class, STRETCHING FROM WITHIN.
IT was quite an experience, the entire class! and this, i know, i will do again... attempting a portrait.. can't wait!
this is a painting that is in my friend miz katie's journal.
we collaborated, but are not done yet..it has been so wonderful, we will probably share when we ARE done.
she has a painted page of this "mrs. crow" in her journal now...but i couldn't just let her fly away that easily :))!
i printed her on silk then incorporated her into modeling paste and paint. this is on a fabric remnent and was an experiment... such fun and turned out wonderful...that doesn't always happen with experiments, eh?!
"little annie", cutting while painting...as of yet...she will NOT use glue to paste items to her paintings...she will ONLY use paint as the glue...this tickles me pink..(which is her fav color so far with red thrown in)
she did her first collage this wednesday without any prompts...and she was so INTENT on cutting, she only asked for help a couple of times...
her favorite sentence...ME DO IT!!! how can ya' not LOVE that, when it comes to art, especially!!!
MEANWHILE.. at work...

ReplyDeleteI wish I had been able to take misty's class! Hope she will do another one! And Alisa's class looks good too but I am already in a couple at the moment! lol

ReplyDeleteand, annie gets cuter every time you write about her. me do it! i need to use that line on greg when he gets home. he'll be sure to laugh over that.

ps: i hope i don't owe you email. i'm sooo far behind on answering email and fb messages right now..if i do owe you, let me know..and i'll step it up.
oh, what a wonderful class it looks like you are taking! I love this post... the stretching, the creating, the learning, the improvising, the noodles, the art, the enthusiasm, the joy, the EVERYTHING...
