Art: Painting

Yesterday was a lovely sunny day and we did art at the kitchen table with the front door wide open and sunlight pouring in and the music on :)

The piece I was working on is one I painted for my mum for Mothers day and had framed.  I took it out and added gold to the beige bits and made the colours a bit darker.

Then I worked on another cat sketch.  I used my own cat for the markings and colours but combined with a cartoon cat and I quite like how its getting on.  I will post a photo later of it in its current stage, as I need to finish it next art session.

My little sister has Art at school on Tuesdays so asked us to also do Art on Tuesdays at the same time, which is cute and a bit fun :)

ART: Painting - watercolours

I was working on my watercolour skills and painted 2 pictures.  For inspiration I looked at a really good artist called Susan Faye.  Here is a link   to her  http://www.etsy.com/shop/susanfaye.  She also has a fan page of facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/SusanFayeArt  and you can see more of her work here

We also did a project art on "My favourite Things".  Its a multimedia collage with a self portrait in the middle and surrounded by either words or drawings/paintings.  We did the words "My Favourite THings" out of magazine letters all cut up and mixed about.  It was fun and I am just busy finishing off some of it.

Will post later.
