"One of a Kind Works of Art Created with Inspiration, Hope, and Heart!"
MY "HAPPY" PLACE
My studio space is only 12'x14' wide and things can get crazy and messy. I have to be organized so I do not waste time looking for things.
First things first-coffee, music and sketchbook.
I start painting small works and sketches just to warm up. This keeps me free and spontaneous. I have a blast painting what I love, and so should you. Keep it fun and energetic. If you run into trouble and don't know what to do, just put it aside for a while or a few days, and come back to it. Don't keep working-it will look over-worked and you don't want that. I sometimes let it "sit in the oven" and when I come back to look at it, I can see exactly what it needs. Paintings have a wonderful way of talking to us, so listen.
PAINTING TIPS!
Experiment and Explore with Color!
The more color I use, the better my work! Color is where it is at! I am painting more in acrylics simply because of the intensity of color over watercolors. I am also using both watercolor and acylics in the same painting. I have area's that I tone down and area's that need that extra burst of color-that is where I use my acylic paints. Try using different things in your work. Not only does it keep you from becoming bored, but it will enhance your future work. Experimenting is challenging and fun! Plan out what you want first, then experiment and explore new options and avenues in your work!
Have fun & Happy painting!
