Today’s Watercolor Pencil Drawing

This is today’s watercolor pencil exercise. I started it last evening and finished this morning. I had trouble with the white caps of the waves, but at least there’s a hint of it! More will be done today, I’m sure. I’ve spent some time this morning choosing which pencils and watercolor crayons to bring along [...]

More watercolor pencil work

I’ve continued to work on my watercolor pencil class. We’re in week 3, and we’re actually making this a two-week exercise. I’m glad for that, because we’re all finding this part a struggle. To the right is my first attempt after I received some feedback from the instructor. I like the movement in the water, [...]

Week 2 Farmhouse Painting

As I mentioned last week, I plan to use a photo I did of a farmhouse/shack in Sedona as a learning piece each week. After I go through the exercises in the class, I’m going to see how my work has changed by going back to this reference photo I took. I’ve done that for [...]

Lucky Lady and Some Art

I’m so blown away by the One World One Heart project. We had over 200 blogs participating. I signed up for several of the drawings, getting to know some other bloggers. I’ve been honored to win several goodies. I will post them here when I get them, but I wanted to publicly thank the bloggers [...]

More watercolor pencil painting

I’ve really been enjoying the watercolor pencil class. I’m doing a little every day. I have started several paintings that I disregarded when they became mud! But that’s how we learn. My favorite so far is the one I did yesterday. It’s to the left here. I’m really pleased with it. I have several others [...]

More drawing and watercolor pencils

I have spent a few hours each day this week doing at least a little bit of work with my watercolor pencils. I’m enjoying the class with Kate. She’s a very giving teacher and even across the miles, I feel supported and that I am learning. We’re four days into the class and my classmates [...]

Creative Monday

It was so good to get back into the studio yesterday. A certain calm comes over me when I walk into the studio – even if it’s a mess! It’s really a haven for me. Yesterday, after I wrote about my preparations for today’s Watercolor Pencil Magic class, I pulled out the sewing machine and [...]

Back in the studio

I’m pleased to say that I’m safely back in the studio after all the balance issues I had. It appears that last week’s solumedrol treatments have finally done their magic! I spent much of this morning getting my things ready for the Watercolor Pencil Workshop with Cathy Johnson. Class starts tomorrow, and I couldn’t be [...]

Thanks and Updates – Finding Creativity

I am so amazed by the outpouring of support from my last post. Thank you all so much for your emails, comments, prayers, warm thoughts – well, and just for being there. I’m calm now and I am starting to regain some energy. Part of this energy resurgence is from a new treatment that we [...]
