Sharing Art


 Today I was able to pop into a live class that Manon (a part of Amy's FREE art classes..hello, FREE!) was giving on creating her adorable little girls. By the time I was able to sign on & sit down, the class was just about over. But, I quickly grabbed my supplies, my art journal, and dove right in. It is so absolutely fascinating to watch artists work. I love to see the process...don't you?  I didn't even have time to join in the chat (boo!) and just started painting. 


I did learn today that I don't have very creamy, delicious watercolor crayons. I have a very inexpensive set that was a little frustrating to use, but that is the beauty in playing. I discovered new ways to blend with my little cheapies. :) I have to admit though, I am VERY happy that a set of Caran d'Ache crayons are on my Christmas list. (That link is for my hubby!! lol) 

 Manon's sweet little creations are so stinkin' cute. Adorable. It was so fun to watch her create (It was taped too! Find it here.). My girl turned out a little wonky...but I like her - and her big bug eyes! :)

 

Thank you to Manon for sharing her art and all the other generous artists 
who are so open with their skills. 
I have learned so much from you!

I am sharing my inspired painting at Paint Party Friday and In the Studio.

XO,

    Love her Jen!! I watched the video last night--I want to try one :)
    I read on the FB group that you get a great effect when you mix the chalk pastels with the gesso like Manon did--I REALLY want to try this too!
