A Meditative Face

Just completed my second painting for Lifebook . This was a fun lesson with amazing artist Jenny Grant , learned lots of new techniques.

Playing With Pretty Papers

This week I've made a couple of projects using

pretty papers, paint, stamps, vintage buttons,

laces and embellishments

I first painted this tissue box using white acrylic paint

When this dried I began collaging with

a variety of papers from my stash

I chose this beautiful image of a vintage girl with umbrella

from Paper Whimsy. I used this as the main image

around all sides with different smaller

images, embellishments and painted

texture around it

I was happy with the end result

and really enjoyed the process

I now have a one of a kind pretty 

tissue box for our spare room

Have a great week

First Painting for Lifebook 2016

I've finally completed my first painting for the Lifebook 2016 class I've recently joined

I've always wanted to learn how to paint faces

and thanks to Tams great lesson

I've been able to make a satisfying start

This one is titled The Happy Traveller - a lesson from

 Tamara Laporte at Willowing Arts 

The painting has a personal meaning for me with representations of things I want to take with me on my journey throughout 2016

This one is going to sit in my art room
to inspire and mark the beginning
of my art journey
Here's to new beginnings!
