Sketchbook Revival – Day 7

Posted on April 11, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Karen Abend for hosting these wonderful free on-line classes

I haven’t done all the classes but there are so many to choose from. On Day 7 the featured artist Juliette Meeks and she gave a lesson on painting and drawing with watercolour. Our subject was a bunch of flowers. I normally sketch out my paintings first with ink and then paint the colour in but Juliette had us go straight to the watercolour and created our shapes without the aid of pencil or pen. I enjoyed the process but need to practise more.

I love this sculpture in front of the Design Museum in London, England. The artist is Eduardo Paolozzi. This photo was taken on our trip to London in October 2018.

Day 8 – Furniture

…thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge

When I saw the theme for today I actually cringed because we’re in dire need of new living room furniture but we’ve decided not to purchase anything until our dear Frances is no longer with us. Thinking about it though I decided that it didn’t need to be something from the living room or something that we sit on.

This is probably my most favourite piece of furniture. Some of you might not consider it furniture but it plays a prominent role in the decor of my house.

….thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge

On Day 5 we were asked to take indoor portrait photos. Seeing that I’m not seeing anyone these days and that my husband doesn’t like it when I take his photo I’ve gone into the archives of recent photos and found these. One is a selfie and the other is my granddaughter, who I miss very much.

Care Package for a Four Year Old

Posted on April 3, 2020 by Mama Cormier

….every other day my husband and I have been making art for our granddaughter

Earlier in the week our daughter asked the family to send mail to her daughter because she was missing her family and friends. Kevin and I quickly pulled out our art supplies and started to make fun pictures and booklets. Winnie is very much looking forward to Easter so most of our projects have an Easter theme.

In our first package I made a video of what we put in the envelope but my storage space is full with WordPress so I can’t post it here. Those of you who follow me on Facebook may have seen that video. For the second envelope I made another video but I also made photographs.

Winnie and her Mom want to decorate the house for Easter so I made a bunch of hand painted Easter eggs on watercolour paper and Kevin drew her some more bunny pictures. So much fun. We hope she gets them soon. In the meantime I’ve been finding classic children’s stories on Youtube and have sent her the link so that she gets a story or two a day sent by her Oma (that’s me). She loved Strega Nona and The Emperor’s New Clothes.
