Day 7 - Wet-on-wet Loose Wildflowers⁠
Are you ready to learn to paint with watercolors?⁠
Check out the link in MY Bio ⁠
👆👆👆Click on my LINK to get started👆👆👆⁠
⁠
We will paint wildflowers wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques. The technique we will explore will create depth of field in your painting. Do you belong among the wildflowers?⁠
⁠
I love to go for long walks. This painting reminds me of the long walks I took when my dad and I were in Colorado one summer. We got there early in summer, and the wildflowers were everywhere.⁠

OK, maybe these flowers are the easiest flower paintings in the world. We will create drip flowers on day 5. They are abstract looking and do not represent any type of flower. SUPER FUN TO PAINT. Playing with water and brushes is the name of the game.⁠

Day 1 - Sketchbook Practice & Play Let's JUMP RIGHT IN!⁠
Grab your supplies. It would be best if you had watercolor paper, paint, and a few brushes for the first day.⁠
@Harmony.n.life⁠
I don’t know if you are like me. When I get new art supplies, I just want to jump right in. So that is what we are going to do on the first day, paint our first abstract painting. Practice and play in a multi-media sketchbook. I paint almost every day, do you?⁠

Everything starts with an idea, a thought. A thought becomes a sketch. Then a sketch again in more detail. Use the drawing as a blueprint for a painting or illustration. ⁠

Creating an illustration or a masterpiece is a process that starts with a thought and then a sketch.⁠

New spring art 🖼 Don't you love to paint with watercolors? This is a fun drawing and painting project.⁠
@christianartlessons ⁠
This 9-page booklet has a list of learning objectives, step-by-step instructions, material list, and practice pages.⁠
In the Bible, Joshua was fighting a big battle against five kings and all of their warriors.⁠
⁠
Joshua needed more time to win, so he prayed to the Lord to help. God did help him by making the sun stand still and stopped the moon from rising. The day was much longer allowing Joshua and his army to win the battle.⁠
⁠
I love summer because the sun stays out longer which make the days longer. The sun always gives me energy. ⁠
⁠
What do you like most about the sun?⁠

Here is one of the rough sketches from my new book and the finished coloring page.⁠
⁠
I am offering FREE coloring pages from my new self-guided journal, “My Private Scream Journal” Check out the link in my bio to get your free pages. 👆⁠
⁠
This journal was created for you to scream, rant, and complain. Get “it,” whatever “it” is, out of your mind and body. This practice of writing down everything is very healing. Writing can help you find a way to make that change. ⁠
⁠
Change your thoughts, feelings, and your mind, so your rants can become a fresh way to see yourself and the world around you. ⁠

⁠ What was the last thing you read that gave you

⁠
What was the last thing you read that gave you one of those lightbulb moments? I am reading "Think and Grow Rich," and one of the things that stood out to me was how people saw a need for something and went out and made it. Creative people always make a better maybe more effect or convent world.⁠
⁠
I see a need from the world we live in — we all need more harmony and happiness in our lives. We are so isolated from the pandemic. We watch way too much TV. ⁠
⁠
We don't even remember how to be nice to each other. ⁠
⁠
My grandmother always said, if you can't say something good, you don't say anything at all. ⁠
⁠
One of the slogans and sayings that were out in the world this last fall was "silence is betrayal." I don't believe that at all. If you can't say something good, you don't say anything at all. ⁠

For some of you, you know I walked away from my corporate website and graphic design business to pursue my life long dream to be a full-time Art Teacher, writer, illustrator, and surface designer. Create, write, paint and publish every month. Here is one of my cat coloring pages.

I have now published my first self-guided journal of exercises, writing prompts, and coloring pages called “My Private Scream Journal.” I am giving away free coloring pages. check out the links 👆
