Willowing Arts: A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales (July)

 


(Watercolor, alcohol markers, acrylic markers, colored pencils)
They say that portraits look something like the person who paints them...
Hmmm...
Well, the examples always have red hair or blonde or brunette...
but mine often end up gray or silver.

(Watercolor, inks, splatter, drip... fold, fold, fold... cut...
black & gold Posca pens... butterfly quotes)
So many steps, but such a fun little end product!
(Collage with printed napkin, magazine cut outs, & paper, stenciling, gold pen)
She's a little lopsided and the dragonfly makes her look like a unicorn... oh well...
Love how printed napkins work with collage.
(Gesso for texture, purple, yellow, & white inks and acrylic)
It's nice using a limited color palette.

(Collage with magazine & collage papers, black, red, ocher, & white acrylic)
It still amazes me that a few colors and a few daubs of paint can turn into a face.
(Fold, cut, measure, draw, flip)
Just a fun silly quirky bird flip book.
The grandkids think it's funny.
(Watercolor pencils, pen, Splatter)
Somehow the teacher's example always looks better...
oh well...
(Wrinkled packing paper, inside of envelope paper, stickers, gold paper)
I don't know what to say here...
Sometimes you just do the lesson because you've committed to do all the lessons...
