…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
