I Love Bright Colors..I am not Lying...

In my Joanne Sharpe Color Love 101 class we had to do a "Color Lovely" girl, who resembled us. There are some amazing artists taking this class so I was feeling a little...well maybe a lot intimidated about drawing.  I kept putting it off and finally yesterday sat down and got to work and I have to say I amazed myself...she turned out pretty darn cute.  Her is my "Color Lovely":

 As I was writing "I love bright colors" the song/rap "I like big butts" came to mind and is still stuck in my head!!!  I love bright colors..I am not lying..I love bright colors..lalalala.....

Here are Lessons 12 and 13 of Joanne Sharpe's Color Love 101 Class.  They were done with crayons and water color.  Not too happy with the result, so I am going to give it another try.

 

The next pages are done with Pan Pastels, which are really fun to work with. 
 

This is the back of my mini album...

More Creations

I have been in a creative whirlwind....and loving it I might add:)  Here is my March Canvas Create and a Color Love 101 assignment.

 This is an 18x 24 canvas which was painted using my fingers only on a black canvas.  It was fun finger painting:)
Below is a doodle done with Twinks and Silks paint...checkout Joanne Sharpe's Blog post about them.  They are shimmery and sparkle..the camera doesn't really pick it up.

Creative Hangover

I am in California visiting my Mom and I was lucky enough to have my trip correspond with the Create Mixed Media Retreat Orange County  ....so I signed up for Jacqueline Newbold's Travel Journal Water Color Class. What a great class...I had so much fun and learned so much....here is what I created;

We traced Jacqueline's drawing and then water colored it..I have to admit I am totally amazed that I did this!!  

Here's my first attempt....I drew the HB Pier, a Montana scene and a palm tree I sketched there.  

Finally here's an old church abandon in Puunene on the way to the Friend's of the Library on Maui. I have to add an title.  Jacqueline is an amazing teacher.

Jacqueline was teaching another class that evening and I went to sign up for it but 2 ladies beat me to it, so I decided to take something else and lucky for me someone had switched out of Joanne Sharp's Lettering Class...woohoo.  I am taking her online class so I got to meet her in person!!!!  What a thrill and she is so wonderfully fun:)  Here's what I did in this class...they are works in progress....

 This is my letter sampler I still have quite a bit of work to do on it. 

 This is my letter board and it is still a work in progress. 

Boy did I have fun learning so much...at the end of the night I did not want to leave and enter the real world again.  I could have stayed in that creative, fun happy place forever!!!!!  Needless to say I am having a wonder "creative hangover"  I just want to sit around and create forever!  I think I am going to have to plan my next visit to Mom around this event!!!
