Playing with Misty Mawn

This is another exercise from Misty Mawn's book "Unfurling"......i am enjoying it sooo much...this is her first book from what i have read......

this is done on a collaged background...... the portrait is drawn with a stibillo marks all pencil, colored with water soluble crayons, and then you use white acrylic paint to distribute the color.... boy that was a mouth full....if you don't understand, go buy the book.. lol ..i highly recommend it...

oh, i forgot to mention that one of the photos is color enhanced with my photo program.....the other is original....... misty's art is is very soft....i love it... ;-)

Pink-Very Pink!!

This is for the summer of color week 3, pink week, over at twinkle twinkle......

There is a story why i did this portrait "sketch style"...... i just received Misty Mawn's book, unfurling, and in it there is an exercise where you sketch with a "stabilo marks all" pencil and then you soften the lines with a brush and water....then you can use color. i used water soluble wax pastels.... this was the first one i did and i decided that i would use the color pink and use it for the week 3 at twinkle twinkle...

Watercolour Flowers

some watercolour flowers i did to practice.....i cut them out and i will probably use them in something mixed media.....i am taking the "color drop flowers" class from martha lever over at creative workshops....

Green

the color of the week over at Twinkle Twinkle ,you guessed it, is GREEN......and i decided to do another portrait..... wish the shot was better....

Blue

This is"blue" for my first "Summer of Color" piece over at Twinkle Twinkle a fun challange to get you inspired....you probably guessed the first color is "blue" ......... i can use all the inspiration i can get these days...a good pinch would help also.....

it has been hot here in western carolina (90's) and i have to admit i do not like the heat...just want to stay indoors.....the heat is the reason we left florida... happy day!!!... ;-)

Playing This Morning
