I’m attending Ogunquitangle in ME this year, organized by the wonderful Jenny Perruzzi over at Your Creative Spirit. Each attendee is asked to bring a little something that can be shared with every other attendee. Something small and inexpensive. A tool you use often, or a bit of craft or art from yourself. I’ve decided to bring along magnetic bookmarks! I love these little things because they are so small, so easy, and SOOO useful. I use them in my for-fun reading books,…

I did a couple quick studies from the photos I posted the other day. They’re a bit sketchy, but you can get an idea of the sort of work we’ll be trying to do on Saturday. Here’s to hoping for sun! =) I’m still working on painting a mural on our hallway’s wall. I’ll post a picture of that as soon as I can – it’s sort of hard to photograph. There are no good angles. I may have to…

We’re going down to the covered bridge, and maybe the park, to capture some real autumn colors. There’s nothing like painting outside, but bring a light jacket in case fall has already gotten chilly! I’ll be teaching more color mixing and brush manipulation while we’re out there. Date: Saturday, October 1st, 12-3pm…

During my watercolor class and afterwards I had to make a lot of example cards to show techniques. Here are some of them together in case anyone wanted to see them. =) I’m happy with how the packaging material ones came out. I was pleasantly surprised at the watery look of the flat plastic packing sheets (top left). I have another class today – drawing this time! – and I am feeling less than prepared. I still need to find…

Watercolor Class went spectacular! It was short of perfect but it was my first class after all. I’ve planned a lot more classes from now til October and I hope a lot of people sign up. I’m especially excited for “Outdoors Watercolor” were I’ll take people out of the store and down to our covered bridge and maybe the park for a while too. It’ll be a real lesson in taking your paints to-go and painting what you see. It’ll be…
