MIXED MEDIA HAPPINESS

I am so excited!
I made my first piece
of 'mixed media' art.

I'm taking an on-line class
from Christy Tomlinson
called
THE SHE ART WORKSHOP! 

I just have to say ...
it's a wonderful class
and Christy makes it so
easy to follow along and
understand the art
of 'mixed media'.


We had our first lesson this
week and I've created my
first piece of 'real' art work.

Isn't she cute?
I love it!

We learned how to
apply the background layers.
And how to make our
little 'She Art'.

We also learned about
shading, outlining and
drawing her hair.

I also decided to add
little wings and ...

a little saying ...
'SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY'

Right now, she's sitting
on a side table in my
living room!
Not quite sure where she
will live ...but, for now
I can see her every time
I walk out the front door!

PURE HAPPINESS!

  5. OH she is just stunning. I too am having so much fun with this class.. I am on my 6th canvas.. learning so much and making my share of mistakes.. so glad you can easily just add another layer of paper or paint and your canvas doesn't go to waste. I just love your giri.. fabulous dress and capris.. her winds are so beautiful. can't wait to see more Alice.
