I hope you are having a colorful, creative day! I've been sorting through the studio and came upon a few canvases that were unfinished. If I have leftover paint after a session, I will often brush it onto a canvas, so as not to waste it. It's nice to have a little color there already. A blank, white canvas can sometimes be intimidating. SHORT VIDEO HERE! I used stencils, a stiff brush, and some finger painting to create the marks. ... View the Post
Ugly Art & What To Do About It & Short Video
Sometimes, our paintings don't turn out very well. Sometimes, they are just plain ugly! :) The good news is that you can just paint right over it!

The lemon yellow isn't pictured, but I did add it in the end, as well as Mars black. ... View the Post
In-Process Face
Faces can be hard. I still have a LONG way to go in learning to draw them, but I like her thoughtful expression in this one. I need to finish it, but sometimes I have to step away and come back to a piece to discern in which direction I should go. I used colored pencils and Inktense pencils here, with a light watercolor wash in the background. ... View the Post
