Day 10 – Prepping Pages

Posted on January 23, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…for the next couple of days

In an art journal sometimes it’s good to prep pages ahead of time, especially if you’re using wet paint or glue. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to create something from the papers and paint that I have already laid down.

Warming Up With Sketchbook Revival – Day 2

Posted on March 21, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….I’m not committing to doing the art each day but today’s lessons intrigued me and helped me warm up for my next painting

Today’s lessons were both focused on creating art around a blob of colour. Koosje Koene gave the first lesson using watercolour and Mike Lowery used markers. Both were fun to do and got me ready to paint on my next painting for my solo show in May.

RDP – Monday – Soil

Posted on September 12, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to RDP for this unusual daily prompt https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2022/09/12/rdp-monday-soil/

Have you ever ordered soil for the garden and then later in the season when nothing is growing you wonder what on earth you were sent. I even gave some of that bag of soil away to the neighbours because it was more than I needed and they discovered the same problem. The soil became hard and clumpy and very little grew where it had been placed. I’ll never order from that garden centre again. They just ignored my complaint.
