CLASS TIME...

 TRACY VERDUGO'S newest online class...

I won a free spot...

yes I did, squealing gleefully.

BEFORE class started,

I sent for the supplies I needed,

and FW Daler~Roney Acrylic Artist Inks were on the list...

 

WHEN they arrived in our mail...

I just went right to town experimenting with them...

OH MY GOODNESS...

they are so GORGEOUSLY INTENSE in color...they are amazing...

give them a go, my artist friends, if you haven't already!

This piece is with mainly layers of the luscious inks with a little acrylic dabbed in!

INSIDE the right flower reads;
"RELEASE YOUR WORRY"

 

 

 

 

 We will be starting week 3 this Tuesday.

i am still in week one.

Trying out and experimenting with the lesson on

Scratch-Foam Boards from Dick Blick (very inexpensive)

We were instructed to do a large one with MONO PRINTING (which i adore)

 

 

 

 

 i chose my giant dragon fly wings for my print.

For some reason they turned out so dimensional, i was ecstatic and need to ask Tracy "why" so that i might do some more in a similar fashion!

 

 

 

 

 Last night i cut down my gigantic (left over) paint paper that i tape to a double closet door.

i will be using pieces and parts in my collage paintings and am really excited about that too;)

 

 

 

 

 i only moved on to making some smaller stamps for my personal paintings...

 

 

 

 

 starting out SIMPLISTIC rather than elaborate (per usual) and then graduate to more complex ones as time goes on. This was a very fun project.

 

 

 

 

 On a very sad note...the morning skies look

TREMENDOUSLY...

 

 

 

 

STUNNING during these many fires in California (we are safe)

reminding all of us around here how lucky we are to (once again) have our homes intact.

i cannot watch the news anymore of late, seeing people break down while explaining what they and their families have lost...

simply...

PRAYING...

PRAYING HARD. 

 

 

HAVE A WONDERFUL CREATIVE WEEK MY FRIENDS \

XOXO
