Hi! Shelly here....So, if you know anything about me, you probably know I LOVE creating just about anything, but particularly, mixed media. Though in all my years of creating and designing mixed media mini albums, I have never actually painted my own sketched drawing...I've never sketched! I have been an admirer of those whimsical painting styles for years and Christy Tomlinson is one of my fav's. SOOOOOOOO - when I saw that she was offering a new class called
Whimsy Winter I jumped at the chance! So here is the step-by-step process of my first painting. Don't hold your breath - mine is nothing to write home about, but the entire learning process has been very satisfying and freeing...
This first painting happens to be of a reindeer, which I painted onto the back page (chipboard square) of the Rebel Sprout mini album. When I was practicing sketching these winter characters (owls, penguins, snowmen, etc.), the reindeer was definitely the most difficult for me. As it turns out - I love it! I have LOTS more to learn and skills to practice...hopefully this and the next several posts will show progress!
