Hello Everyone,
Hope this finds you all happy and well, this afternoon I held a private watercolour lesson, we did a bunny and it was so much fun. I had to share my students work, she did such a great job, she may well put me out of business :-) xoxoxox. No better way to spend a Tuesday afternoon teaching my 13 year old student to paint with watercolours. The joy on her face as her little fellow started to take shape, priceless. I have sent her on her way with homework, and next week we will be painting a face. I cannot put into words the joy art gives, it truly is a gift that keeps on giving. Just a reminder I am holding a kids group art session on the 14 of March at 1pm to do a watercolour bunny, bookings via my Facebook page :-)

Greetings and Salutations Hope you are all well, happy and loving life. I just wanted to share news on my Private Art Lessons I started this year, its been a amazing ride of learning to put into words what I take for granted when I start a piece. Taking myself back to the first steps you take to start a piece has been an enjoyable experience for me. I have 3 students at present and loving my time with them as I see their face light up when they understand the steps I am explaining to them, and their eyes light up when while trying these techniques they see who their own talent and craft is improving, its such a refreshing experience. My Saturday student describes herself as someone who cant draw has to trace or use a light box to trace, she yearns to able to do realism work, I have taken her back to the basics of drawing and her improvement over 4 weeks has been mind blowing I couldn't be more prouder of her. The first two pictures are the first week the hair is last weeks work and the eye we did today, how is that for improvement, impressive isn't :-). I have also decided to take the leap to hold group classes for kids, I setting up a Watercolour Bunny Class to be held next month in time for Easter. I will set up a class to teach students how to paint a A4 Bunny in Watercolours, looking forward to some Easter Bunny fun. Watch out for notifications for this event on my Facebook Page once I have it all organised :-). Depending on response and how the session runs I may look into school holiday paint sessions as well, where we could look into Anime, Acrylics, Watercolours, Basic Drawing and so much more. Anyway just wanted to touch base and let you all know some of the things I have been up to, I will do a blog in a couple of days showcasing my table caddy I have been working on as well.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, Peace Linda Hello Everyone, hope you are all well and happy, I have had a wonderful day today painting coasters, doing miniature paintings, so much fun, and this evening I am adding layer upon layer of varnish to finish them off and with every layer the painting gets new life. I love my life :-) I am taking them with some other pieces to Urban Cow Studio tomorrow.
I actually have other pieces up on display there too so if you are ever in Adelaide head down Rundle Street and seek out The Cow they are just off of Rundle Street on Vaughan Place, and once you have had a lovely stroll through their shop and gallery upstairs, why not stop at the Howling Owl and have a cool drink, its a lovely part of Adelaide, I do enjoy all our little nooks and crannies. I also received a lovely update on the Kangaroo I put up for Auction with all proceeds $450.00 going to Fauna Rescue SA, its was so nice seeing him in his new home in a lovey rustic studio. Thank you Traci for sharing the photo you have put him in the perfect spot, I love it. :-). I also received the final go ahead today on a family portrait I have been doing, its always nice when the customer is happy with the pieces. Anyway hope you are all having a great week too, and in a couple of days I will share some updates on the Koala piece Rebirth I am doing for 100 Artworks for Koala's. L xxoxoxox Hello everyone, hope you are well and happy, things have been busy here, lots of commissions which I love, and I have also been working on the Koala for 100 Artworks for Koalas, my piece will be named Rebirth, its only at the first stages at the moment I will share how we are going with him later in the week.
I found some coasters when I went for a supply pick up this week and decided what the hey lets give them a go, I ended up painting them with turtles on them, I think they are really cute. I started by giving them a light wash of white to give the beachy feel, drew the outline and then painted them with acrylic paints, I got better at it as I went on :-) Also I did a quick wood panel of a Major Mitchell in Acrylics this week, they are one of my favourites and I felt the urge, you may remember the disaster of the magpie that I did and the sealant made the paint spread across the wood panel, well guess what the Major Mitchell is the same wood panel. I just sanded it down until the majority of the magpie and disaster had gone, I got it a couple of coats of base white then a light coat of Blue Mist then sanded lightly to give it a beach feel. I think he turned out just fine, what are your thoughts on the colour etc I love the blue mist tone its so fresh with the pink and orange of the Major :-) Anyway will blog again later this week, for now its back to commissions which I cant share and my Koala for 100 artworks for Koalas check out the website its a very exciting project to be asked to be in involved in :-) Have the best week everyone and thanks for following :-) https://livingwithkoalas.com.au/100-artworks-for-a-koala/?fbclid=IwAR1xriEoZh6AoEN-z_ajSKMpNG90co4ltj3B94f7nteSoxFTiudm0sqEziU |
