New painting..

I did star working on this one when I took a workshop in Norway in May.

The teacher was Jenny Grant.

I had a wonderful time, painting for 3 days with wonderful friends both old and new.

Can't wait for the next workshop we take together.

Jenny the teacher is an angel, I became her friend in some online FB group and then I took her class in LB and then she was the host for Tracys class in Sweden two years ago.

And here is another one, this one is old, always trying to finish with this one but never happy, think Ill collage over her and start all over again.

Have a great day all of you :)

My dolls made of clay :)

.

Im taking a class with Jeanne-Marie Webb, Soulbearer.

In the class we are working with self drying clay.

I love this class.

First I made one, Then I made two more.

I left them to dry over one night and then they were ready for paint..

The first layer was black as always when working with clay.

Then it was the second layer and the third and so on until I was happy.

Painting the face was the most difficult part. 

I think Im finished with her face but going to add more layers to her body.. 

And then I have two to paint :) 

Have a great week..

New painting..

This weekend was a painting weekend.

I had started this one few days ago but then lost the interest and kept it standing in my studio.

On Friday I did start again and didn't quit until finished..

And Im so happy with it.

Think this little dog is amazing, he is so much looking at me asking me to come and play just like my dog does all the time :)

Have a great week

I have taken two classes from Alison O'Donoghue

I love the way she paint and wanted to learn from her

The first class was Birds on birds and I really loved that one. 

If you scroll down you can see more of the painting I did paint in and after her class..

The second was Bottles, bananas and beyond... Interesting name and interesting class.

I cant wait for her to come with her third class, I hope she will do so that I can learn more from her.

Here are the paintings I made in and after her class..

Different from my paintings with a lot of colours but I love them.

What do you think?

Have a week filled with joy.

Like always I´m painting.. I did start working on this one last winter but was not happy so I decided to keep it for some time. Yesterday I started again added layer by layer of bright and beautiful colours and when i was happy I washed it with white, something I learned long time ago but had forgotten all about it until I saw one one line teacher use this Technic. 

Im quite happy with my girls and owl now but far away from finished.

Hope you have a very nice week.

This summer I have been painting a lot...

I took a class by lovely Jenny Grant but she was the host when I

 was in Stockholm last summer taking Tracy Verdugo´s class Paint Mojo. 

Jenny´s class was on Life Book, a year long class with

 new teacher every week and a lot of 

new method to learn in every class.

I wanted to use brighter colours and I did 

add a little gold on the Mandalas.

I like them but I feel like I´m not finished yet, 

have to add a little here and there..

Have a great week
