Enjoyed creating this abstract in gouache paint. Thanks for the extra summer classes!

# data[].attributes.body
Such a fun, easy and clean session!

I used one of those rubber wedges by Catalyst and it skipped a little, adding texture with no effort on my part! Some of my paints were more translucent and irridescant - mainly Pebeo.

I added a few marks in the morning and I kinda wish I hadn't.

I confess that much as I REALLY love all the sessions (and community) provided throughout the year, I need the summer rest as there are so many things to do outside and I'd like time/headspace for my own explorations so I will not be joining Bettina's longer classes. However, my FOMO 🤣 means I've signed up for the summer specials from Jennifer, Bettina and Dylan.

Used watercolor, carbon paper to trace my image, and micron pen. Loved this class, thank you Bettina! -Rae

# data[].attributes.body
My watercolour background dried too pale so I added some interest later on with washi tape and embellishments instead.

# data[].attributes.body
Did the watercolor using quin rose and magenta and cobalt blue, cerulean blue and some french blue. Then randomly drew on some flowers and added the branch at the end. Used Sharpie pen for the 'ink'. 4"X6" bp

I didn't print any of Bettina's images because I fancied doing something in the style of Cuban artist and poet, Enrique Daussat. I think his simple, clean lines work well with this process.

Thanks so much for these brilliant classes. Another fun project this week. What I set out to create and what actually emerged were very different on this occasion but I enjoyed the process.

Suzanne - bookmark made from doodle strips

Used watercolour paints on thick card paper and then, the next day, decided to make a bookmark by cutting the doodle strips out and pasting them onto pink card, created a hole punch hole, threaded through a homemade pompom and then added some stickers I had in my art box over the painted areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Not a great photo but I enjoyed this simple, relaxing exercise. I started with watercolour but didn't like the density so I used some water soluble "Woodys". They are a bit too waxy to take gel pens, even 12 hours later when they had completely dried. I did my best with Poscas and Creative Markers but I don't think I did the nibs any favours 😂 I do like the outcome, though. I love the cool colours but I wonder what it would look like with one small area of red or orange.

PS. Couldn't find much when searching on "doodle sticks", however when I switched to "painted garden stakes" I found a bunch. Hope that is helpful.

The Nordic birds collage was made in another class. I used it for the vase here.

It's an odd shaped vase and the flowers are probably too small but I had fun doing it. The vase is from a Fornasetti style fish wallpaper.

I know a bad worker blames their tools but I really must stop using the awful sketchbook. The paper is thiner than copier paper and yet has a rough surface. I hate waste but it is terrible.

My t-shirt making days are long gone but I enjoyed painting the design and discovering that you don’t need Photoshop (of which I no longer have a working copy) to fill letters with images. It reminded me of a funny story.

Over 20 years ago, I worked for a small company and the owner always stumbled over my name..I just didn’t look like a Sue to him. I asked him what he would prefer to call me and he said Janet. That evening I went home and made a t-shirt using this method, that said “call me Janet”. The filler images were some of his works so it amused him and fed his not inconsiderable ego 😁

I’ve used a lot of these transfer pages in the past and I would say that in every case, I have had to flip the original image but I am in the U.K. so ours may be different and probably more significantly, it was a loooooong time ago!

I found this work through for Apple users who don't have the MS suite but it is much easier with Pages. You literally just type a word, change the font and font size them fill it with your image.

Glass jar, acrylic paint pens. It was hard to add a second layer with the paint markers as they wanted to scratch off the first layer!

This vase template is for an 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper. Note that the top half is for the strip to affix behind the "vase" with a glue stick or liquid glue. Don't forget to weigh down your strip with something heavy like a stapler or a full bottle of paint. You can also fold a scrap paper in half, draw a vase, then transfer it to your watercolor paper and cut it out. You do you!!

Not sure yet which side up I like best! And I wonder if it could do with a bit more white splatters 😊

I absolutely hated my baby poop painting, covered it with gesso the next day and repainted over it! Glass bead gel texture, acrylic paints. Totally forgot to do mark making the second time though!

Tons o'fun! Two have graphite, acrylic, metallic paint pen, light pattern stamping, and a bit of chalk scribble on top. The last one is waiting for something...

I'm very new to abstracts (and art in general) and still on a steep learning curve with composition and colours etc. Enjoyed the process of creating these two abstracts. One on black paper and one on regular white paper, using gouache paints and chalk. Thanks so much for these classes! They're brilliant! 

# data[].attributes.body
The first image is a bit of a mess. I tried too much, made a mess and kept trying to rescue it, making it even worse. The second image is using soft pastels and has a lighter touch but it still a bit scribbly. I don't find abstract work daunting. I find it liberating but these two pieces floored me. Must have been one of those days 😃

# data[].attributes.body
Couldn't resist making an abstract even though I was hungry and it was past time for breakfast. Love how this turned out. I never play with neutrals because I love color so much and start with them. Used a graphite pencil and a black watercolor pencil on copy paper first. Then added different colors of acrylic paints scraped around with an old credit card. Some of the scraping had a scrap piece of plexiglass used to diffuse light that I got at a plastic shop for $1 under the copy paper which created the texture. Very fun and super quick too. I got breakfast and lived to tell about it. :) bp

My attempt at a random 'swirl' drawing and also an abstract elephant, in watercolours. 

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't have acrylic paint so just used watercolours for these - 'drew' an abstract elephant and also tried random shape drawing and swirls. My first go at 'drawing without looking' and really enjoyed the process. Thank you so much for these classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I just had my Neocolour II crayons on the table so I used them.....all of them! I did a scribbly line over a rough outline of a fox but without the white markings, it looks more like a cat and that is OK by me!

Blind contour elephant in Sharpie with a few added things after painting. I love doing contour drawing but usually stop there. It was really fun and mind clearing to paint inside the shapes, never really thought about painting them before. Can't wait to try it again. Added bonus-i actually finished!!! I loved everything that was shared in class today too!
