Journaling Class in Sunriver, Oregon
We had a wonderful snowy day painting in our journals and learning about creating paintings-on-the-go for the traveling artist. My students felt like we had a very successful day! If that was not enough, we ended by having an incredible potluck lunch with our gracious host, Liz.

Be My Valentine, the Making a Valentine Card
Mixed Media Valentine Card for my Husband |
Using my Flip, Flaps & Fold-outs ideas that I will be teaching at the CREATE in Irvine, CA I created this Valentine card for my husband.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!

I just finished teaching my Watercolor Toolbox class and we ended the class by painting a birdhouse on a stucco wall. We mixed the 3 primary colors to get a colorful background and played with adding salt to make the texture on the wall. We glazed to get darks in the shadows of the bird house and put some reflected color in the shadows. We also learned about lifting highlights by using a plastic template. Everyone was a pleasure to have in class!
