Happy Saturday to ya!
Wasn't sure what I wanted to write about today.. I have a lot of things/projects on my mind over the next week. I feel like I must get a free week once a month and the other weeks are creative chaos.. :)
That might sound like a complaint, but it is so far from it. The only thing that could put icing on it.. would be getting paid for it.. :) Any who.. as I write.. I am playing with a few supplies I got from the Dollar Tree! yes.. you heard me! The Dollar Tree! Wanna sneak peak ?

This is a guitar I plan to alter (the dollar tree item). It had super glossy paper on it so I tried to Deco Arts Gesso, but it pealed too easily. So I went over it with some Deco Art Americna Multisurface Satin in Cotton Ball and that seems to be working fine.. Now to use some Helmar's Decoupage and craft paste on my images and get some color down..
Another thing I have been working on is my loose face sketching. I am fine not being a portrait artist. I personally think once you start doing portraits you put a level of perfectionalism (is that a word?) on your work. I don't want to do that! I don't need to worry about that. I like painting whimsy faces and crazy colors. Yes I would like my shadowing and such to be better. Yes I would like my profiles, and head tilts to be less strenuous on me to create and on the finish pieces. I will learn as it comes.. In the mean time I have a flipagram many of you have seen.. and some of you.. well have not.
We have two more bloggers to join our circle.
