My flower painting, which I have been working on off & on for a while now, is not so much about flowers anymore (see how it started here.)  Here are a couple more in progress pictures…
And where it is now…
I don’t know.  I’m not sure how I feel about it right now, I’m just kind [...]

Hello hello =)
This weekend I have been hard at work painting, and have (mostly) enjoyed every minute of it.  Here is a little peek at an in-progress painting I have been working on…
And here is what it looked like a couple months ago when I first started working on it..

Haha.  I have ideas in mind [...]

Have any of you ever painted with shaving cream before?!  It’s a really interesting (and EASY) technique that I heard of recently, and last week I decided to try out.  Within just a few minutes (seriously, like, 5 minutes tops) I made these:
Cool, right??  I thought it would be a fun activity for my art [...]

I want this on my wall.  It’s so pretty… maybe somedaayyy ♥

One of my assignments for class is to make a reflective teaching journal to record my experiences teaching in a high school.  I FINALLY got started on it, and modeled it off the heart book that I made a couple weeks ago.

Those second ones are so cute and tiny.  They are from this [...]

Just a few pictures of a book I made:
It measures about 4.75 x 3.5 inches, so it’s little and cute, and has 32 pages.  One day when I open my Etsy shop (it’s going to happen, I promise… hopefully soon) I think I might sell something like this.  I love how small it is and [...]

When I first saw this I thought it would be the BEST ROOM EVER.  And then I realized that no, it really wouldn’t, at all.  My stuff would probably always fall in the pool, it would be a huge pain to keep clean, and everything I own would smell like chlorine.  No thanks, but, it [...]

Alright party people, it’s skyline tutorial time.  As I promised in my last post, here are the step-by-step instructions for creating this painting.

Okay first of all, here are the things you will need:
Watercolor paper (or any paper thick enough so it won’t rip when wet), watercolors, paint brush, water container with water, black paint, yellow [...]
