I have always been fascinated by people with a serious talent for drawing like my brother. I have always wished I could draw as well as him and some others in my family. So, I was excited to see the mixed media pieces done by Christy Tomlinson from Scarlet Lime. She is offering a 3 week e-course starting on Feb 28th that I would love to take, but first I thought I would try a little piece myself to compare the before and after....
I was a little scared to throw this out there since it's just my drawing and some rub-ons and such. But, here it is...I think I like it. The base paper is a thick linen canvas paper I found at Michael's. I used gesso, some paint, and colored pencils. Over top is also some water color paint. I also used a little piece of cardboard to stamp a little. I just played and played until I stopped.
It's safer to work with items that are manufactured...partially done for you.
I would like to learn how to add my own touches to some of those projects too. That seems to be the point of scrapbooking and other things we do to keep our memories for ourselves and our families.
So I guess I'll take the course and see what I can add to my little doodles and dots. I'm sure this will add a lot to the creative process and just be fun.
Since I'm not working again, I'd like to spend a lot more time being creative and seeing what new things I can learn...that makes me happy.
ttfn...
