…back to using watercolours
This week Kevin decided to lay down some watercolour onto to paper and then looked for any shapes that emerged and from there created his monsters.

Day 46 – One More Page for Lesson 3
…I’m loving working on these fantasy creatures
Day 43 – Second Piece for Christina Romeo’s Lesson Three
…my assignment for Fantasy Character Illustrations
Day 42 – Lesson Three
…from Christina Romeo’s class
Today we were to take our watercolour papers from Day 1 and find shapes that can be turned into fantasy creatures. I found an old man, a lamb, a fish, a gorilla and a couple birds.
Day 41 – Adding a Face to a Collaged Page
This is one of my prep pages that I showed a few days ago. I first added some more colour and marks with watercolour and I used my Micron Pens and Sharpies to draw in a face and flowers.
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
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.
Blind Contour Drawings to Adding Colour
…day 32 of my daily art challenge
I’ve done blind contour drawings before. They are suppose to be a good way to warm up when you want to sketch an object. I took photos of the objects so that you can see what I was trying to draw blind and then semi-blind. After the warm-up I drew the object and then added watercolour.
More Warm-up Drawing and Painting Exercises

Wacky Bird With Attitude
….Kevin wanted me to post this one last Tuesday
Tuesday was a tough day for us. We heard that we were in contact with COVID on the weekend and we needed to take some rapid antigen tests. We’re leaving for France in two weeks and today our daughter is visiting from New Brunswick. The good news is that we’ve all tested negative.
So this bird was named Ticked Off Tuesday. Does he look a bit miffed?
