Three More Days of Art
…days 37 to 39
My art journey has included signing up for a new on-line art class, a trip to the art gallery, speaking to other artists and learning something new from them.
I have wanted to put some of my photography into gallery shows. When I went to WAAC to pick up my artwork I met a photographer who kindly gave me some advice and kindly critiqued the photos I was thinking of displaying at the next photography show. She suggested that I darken the background using the black point on my camera. I never knew what that feature did but now that I do I can see using it again. She also reminded me how to erase bits in the photo that I didn’t want.
When I got home I got busy and refined a few photos and ordered large prints from a professional printing firm. Here are two that I’ve ordered.
Today I did the first assignment of my online course and prepped the first six pages for tomorrow’s class.
The artist that I’m taking the course with is Christina Romeo. It is called Mixed-media Fantasy Illustrations and is found on Carla Sonheim’s site. http://carlasonheim.com

Monster Monday – “I Need Coffee!”

Day 36 – Extending the Lines
…completing one of my prep pages
Several years ago I took a Lino block printing class. I carved out branches on the block and made a few prints but I never did anything with the prints until today.
I glued the print into my journal and added more collage papers and Inchies. This evening I extended the branches with my markers and added black, white and gold lines and marks.
Four More Days of Art
….days 32 to 35
From simple shapes to colour blobs, and more prep pages of collage and adding marks and text to a watercolour background.

Wacky Bird Wednesday – Wacky and Not So Wacky
…February 19, 2025
When Kevin gave me the first drawing to submit for this week’s Wacky Bird Wednesday he admitted that it wasn’t that Wacky so he drew another one which was much more wacky. Do you have a favourite?
