Cloud Banner

This is a little something I did while out of town with limited resources. The background is Neocolor crayons with water dripped/washed on top and a sharpie design of cloud banners inspired by Julie.

Pink Honeycomb

I can't seem to find a large chunk of time until school gets out, so here's a little goodie

I made in less than 30 minutes. 

Gotta love me some mixed media with repetition and texture!

My layers include: marker with water dripped, stamps, stencils, Neocolor I, and sharpie on masking tape on a page in an old book. 

Yellow Rain

I created this without having any idea of what to do with it, 

so it became a place to try new techniques.

Some techniques didn't work (watercoloring stencils) 

while others turned out pretty well (Neocolors on top of everything).

I think I'm a fan of it as a finished piece though. 

What do you think?

Smoke Like

I currently have an A-MAZ-ING student teacher. 

Luckily for me her strength is my weakness...

WATERCOLOR. 

This week she taught my advanced students some watercolor techniques and I got to play too!

This one reminded me of really pretty smoke. 

What does it remind you of?

Journey

This watercolor experimentation has been quite the journey. 

All so far have been abstract, 

but some are organic like this and others are more geometric like the next post.

Love & Desire

Just playing with patterns and mixed media.

Each different layer/media (3 of them) only took about 15 minutes (give or take...probably give :)

MMM....Cupcakes!

I have been working on something this past week that I'm really excited about, 

but I think I'm going to keep it a surprise until it's complete. 

So until then, I'll give you a sneak peak...
