Summer of color

Summer of color is a big, international blog party featuring six weeks of color prompts, weekly linking opportunities, fabulous giveaways, creative inspirations and an amazing artistic community.

I was thinking about joining them last year but Then I was to busy so now I´m going to try. 

Every week I think we get new colors to work with. This week we had to use two blue colors and one green. This is how my 3 colors look... 

,

I think the two blue are to similar 

This is what i did paint..

Not to happy, I can do better....

Have a beautiful day

DIY Christmas Fun for Hues n Shades

I was asked to make a Christmas ornament or some kind of do it yourself for x-mas.

I decided to show how to make a line with clips for Christmas cards.

What you need is wooden laundry clips, some kind of string (about 1.5 to 2 meters) acrylic paint, read, white, black, green and yellow. White glitter if you want. 

First I take few wooden laundry clips, about 20 pieces.

First I  take the half of the clips and start with red color, paint Santa´s jacket and Santa´s cap

then I make his beard and the fur edge of his cap with white color and the dusk too.

Next is to paint his face with skin tone.

Next step is to paint the other half of the clips green.

I do add red and yellow dots for lights and then I paint a yellow star on top of the clips

Next step is to paint dots for eye and nose and add a little red color for mouth in the beard.

Then I add a little glitter on the white color of Santa´s cap.

and this is how I hang my Christmas cards. 

This is the one I have. I do add this string between two nails on the wall (1 to 1.5 cm between) and hang all my Christmas cards one in each clips. This makes a beautiful Christmas decoration.

Sorry I don´t have picture of it hanging on my wall to show you but I hope this will do.

Something very different....

When taking classes you sometimes have to do something you are not used to..

The artist this time was Nathaniel Mather, he is a great artist and I really enjoid going through his paintings. Then we got a link to a blog where the blogger did have a interview with Nathaniel, great interviwe. You can read it here.. http://littlebrownrabbit.blogspot.com/2014/11/artist-interview-with-nathaniel-mather.html

Where there is love there is life...

I love to play around with my paint.

I did start this one yesterday, took it with my to my job and continue working on it while my students were making their own art.

It is a little dark but that is because I did use ink and as you might know the ink is coming through all other colors. It was a turquoise one.

Im so happy with this one, love it....

I did color the fishes she is holding with a golden color but it does not show here.

Have a beautiful day

A new painting with a little doodling :)

I love drawing girls.

I love drawing girls with a bird on their head.

I saw a painting made by Tam (Tamara Laporte, Willowing) where she made a hair with a lot of lines and I wanted to try. 

Im happy with the  result, love my girl and her bird.

I do have more painting Im going to post, but they are on my Ipad, cant understand why I cant blog with photos from my Ipad.

Maybe one day Ill learn how to :)

Have a wonderful day

My Owl

Last weeks class at the Life Book was with Juliette Crane, How to paint whimsy animals. I did want to make an Owl and I did this little cute thing. But I did a mistake, I made her with a sleeves but not a wings so this is a Owl with sleeves surrounded with flying flowers, I must have been thinking of girl when I painted her and I was to tired efter my New York days. 

I think she is cute.

Going to practice more on whimsy animals.

Happy PPF to all of you..

My guarding angels

I had to make more of my Guardian Angels, did not have any at home, all sold out. I like making my Angels, I think they all look so different and kind of cute..

I have been using 300 gr watercolor paper cold pressed and one day I tried hot pressed and Im very happy with that paper, it is like painting on silk, it is like the color is floating so nicely.

Now I have to make few more so that I can have ready for my exhibition in September but then Im going to have both Lovely Ladies and Guardian Angels.

A Big Lovely Lady...

First of all I want to thank all of you for your nice comments here and on my page. I was going to visit all of you an leave a comment for you but I think I'm only done with half of you.

 Big ❤ ❤ ❤ to all of you :-)

I have been working on this Lovely Lady now for few days. I think I'm finished and I think I'm happy with her. Her colors are brighter, I should have waited for the daylight to take the photo.

This one has many layers and many colors. The size is 50x60 and she is painted on canvas. 

As you can see I have been using all kind of colored paper around her head and then I did start painting outlines and adding colors to the Lady and the background.

A little bit here and there, painting over adding stamps and more colors.. In the end I'm happy, might add a little doddeling here and there but not sure about that. 
♫♪♫♪♪ ♫♪  Happy PPF to you and happy weekend to the rest of you.  ♫♪♫♫♪♫♪
