Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – January 12, 2018
…..thanks to Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge
365 Days of Art – Mostly Red
…..day 10…playing with patterns
I’ve subscribed to Creative Bug for a few years now and I love the variety of classes you can take. There are knitting, quilting, watercolour, acrylic, sketching, photography, weaving and sewing classes, just to name a few. You can try it out for free and if you like it you can subscribe for about $6.00 a month. Classes that you really like you can hold in your own personal library to pull up whenever you want.
The latest class that I’m following is demonstrated by Lisa Congdon and I love her work. Every day for a month she is filming a video challenge on pattern drawing using watercolours or gauche. Yesterday I worked on a chevron pattern and a harlequin pattern.

365 Days of Art – Ribbon Lettering
…..Day 9
Some of my art will involve lettering. I’m thinking about taking a calligraphy class. Today I went to Creative Bug and watched a video on ribbon lettering.

365 Days of Art – Landscape on Yupo Paper
….day 8 of my year-long challenge
With this piece I tried to direct the thread to create a landscape. Tricky! I used acrylic inks again for the threading and watercolour to fill in the spaces. When you work on yupo paper you have little control over how the paint dries but then that’s one of the reasons why I like to work with it. This piece is also 9″ x 12″.
365 Days of Art – Day 7
….I’m a day behind because my new computer was uploading 23 000 photos from the cloud
I’ve continued with the theme ‘threading lightly’ from Carla Sonheim’s year-long class. For this abstract piece I used yupo paper and inks for threading. I love the acrylic inks because they are so vibrant. I filled the spaces with watercolour. The piece is 9″x 12″.
Sunday Trees – 321
….thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees
It’s been way too cold to go out and take photographs outdoors so this is the best I could do this week. Happy New Year everyone!
p.s. I still haven’t taken my tree down and I’m a day late….sorry I’ve had computer issues (good ones)
365 Days of Art – Day 6
…..today’s prompt was Blind Fruited
Carla Sonheim always comes up with interesting assignments. Instead of drawing a piece of fruit without looking at the paper (blind contour drawing), Carla wanted the fruit to be blindfolded. Here’s my blind apple. Enjoy!
Oops, I dated this incorrectly. He should be Jan 6, 2018. I changed it on the original.
