THE DAY'S ART LESSON
FISH WEARING BALLET SLIPPERS

My Latest Attempt

This is my latest attempt at painting.
I'm taking Pam Carriker's on line class Pursuing Portraits.

I don't think she's too bad for a beginner.

Pulled Art

I didn't know there was a name for this type of art, but I
probably should have. I loved doing this and loved the results.
What is pulled art? I couldn't find a definition for it, but to
my mind it is pulling an image from a background. It's a bit
like cloud gazing.


I did this one before I knew what it was it called,
and was excited to see a face in my background.

I did this one as this weeks lesson taught by Mystele in my Life Book class.
As I was finishing up the background, I thought I'm not going
to see anything in this one. I walked away for a while and when I
came back, there she was. I really enjoyed the process and am anxious to do another.

Finished Drawing

After looking at my drawings on line, I could tell it needed something.
I worked a little on the eyes and added highlights as suggested by
my husband. At this point, I think I have to quit while I'm ahead
and consider it done.

Drawing Over

These are my drawings from lesson 2 of Pam Carriker's Pursuing Portraits class.
I pasted a black and white copy of a photo onto my page, coated it with gel medium
and then a layer of thinned out white paint, and then drew over it.
My mouth is open in the original, but I drew it closed in this one.
I did a second with my mouth open.

Bunny's Garden

Bunny's Garden
I love this.
Done while visiting Grampy on Sunday afternoon.
It looks like she didn't have time to finish coloring.
There is broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, and I'm guessing lettuce.
