Took a quick 3 weeks (9 days) class at the local collage BUT truthfully did NOT learn nothing new.
I was disappointed because I wanted to learn new techniques. All the teacher told us to do was to find a picture online and paint it onto the canvas with acrylic paints.
This is what I did.
This picture was a photograph of a bird. The background and quote were my ideas to put it all together.
What better thing than to leave the mundane world behind by getting lost in brushes and swirls!! Being CREATIVE is my passion. I love ART. My goal is to share my expressions thru mixed media. Art journaling, Artist Trading Cards (ATC), greeting cards and crafts are a few of my styles.

Charcoal Drawing: Crayons
Took a quick 2 weeks (6 days) class at the local collage BUT truthfully did NOT learn nothing new.
I was disappointed because I wanted to learn new techniques. I did get to experiment with charcoal pencils which I had never done before.
All the teacher told us to do was to find a picture and sketch it using charcoal pencil.
I used tortillions which I had done before. This is what I did.
