Day 1, 2 & 3 The Coloring Challenge Road Trip On-Line Class with Kathy Racoosin

Days 1 & 2

Plucking Colors not in the same color family 

and using color pencils to enhance in the nooks and crannies.  I need a lot of work on this.  I used a red color pencil on the first flower and a brown one on the second one.  I have trouble getting thin lines.  Also struggle leaving a white (sweet) spot.

The second picture is adding some white dots.

Day 2

I tried using different color plucking and like this one better, but it still needs work.

Kathy Racoosin says to be fearless.  I tried some white lines trying to be fearless.  Ugh.

Days 2 & 3

We worked on the face on Day 2 and then went on to the dress. 

Finished on Day 3.

I like how this turned out better. 

Another Day 3 project using Critters and using Colorless Blender for texture by putting it on a small piece of  wash cloth.

I think he turned out pretty cute.

It was a fun class with lots of tips to enhance your coloring.  Kathy always wants you to color at least 10 minutes a day to help improve your coloring.

CAS Watercolour January 20 & Seize the Birthday #180

After struggling quite a bit trying to do some watercoloring, I finally was able to create this card for 

CAS Watercolour

I first tried watercoloring a floral bouquet and that just did not come together.  I just have so much trouble with water colors.  I tried the wet method and dropping in colors using Distress Inks, but it just didn't turn out.  So I decided to do some watercolor smooshing and finally after some struggle again came up with this background.  

I used Rubberneck Butterflies are Free stamp set and used my Ziggies. 

Cottage Cutz Nested Stitched Scallop Oval dies

I have had a happy week being in my craft room several days.

So much fun....

I am also entering into STB

Love how it turned out.
