I am a Stencil Winner. . . .my Yellow Cottage has a Rainbow - Updated with Addition

I was a winner of the Stencil Girl Blog Hop featuring Pam Carriker.  Maria sent it to me. I was so excited. . .it went into my Spam folder and I was late getting back to her.  . . Oh My Gosh gmail . . .what were you thinking???

I can think of many uses for this stencil, but the first thing I saw was a Rainbow. . . . and of course my yellow cottage.  The long-haired dascshund, the garden and flowers. . .

I used the pastels, Prismacolor pencils and pens. The picture is 6x8 inches.

Thanks so much Eva and Kristin for throwing a great Paint Party Friday. The artists are varied and exceptional. Their creativity that they share through video and instruction are fun and a learning experience.  The art varies from journaling to mixed media and explanation of art supplies.

I thought the rainbow should be mushed together more and darker in spots, it wasn't too realistic. I am so glad for the stencil that I originally used because it kept the lines for it. I notice I don't have trees, couldn't figure out if I wanted palms or Elms/Oaks.  We'll see. I just want to find the durn thing and move in.

It’s not what I have been through in my life that defines who I am. . .It’s how I got through it that has made me who I am today.

Clouds

On my daily walk in the mornings, I take a lot of pictures of clouds.  I have attempted to do something different here.  I put some water in some of them. . . not too sure what to do with them to make them look like clouds!!!  It is, yes, the yellow cottage I'm still trying to find. . . this time it's on a farm.  There's more corn beyond. . .

I used Prismacolor pencil and pens. It's 6x8 inches.

Be sure and take a look at what some of the other artists have come up with and what art supplies they are using on Paint Party Friday.

I am working on 4 more baby dolls. So I haven't had time to experiment this week.

3 New Babies

This week I made 3 new dolls. A gal at church requested one by Sunday.  I wanted to give her 3 choices.  I used Prismacolor pencils and pens and Acrylics.

See the Paint Party Friday artists for many other art creativity. Thank you Eva and Kristin.

Boo Kitty and Flying Witch

I used Prismacolor pens, glitter and glitter glue mixed with acrylics, and gel. I mixed acrylic orange with clear glitter glue. . which did not bring out the glitter, so I had to add powder glitter for BOO.

For the witch's hat I added gold glitter glue.

She was fun to make.   Paint Party Friday hosted by Eva and Kristin is an amazing  group of artists that show their work and many have instructions on 'how to' for most of them. There is quite a variety of art from Journaling, to painting, to mixed media.

There are Days like that. . . .

I wasn't satisfied with the face, therefore, I decided to change it.

That totally didn't work, so she ran into a cloud. . . .

there she goes through the cloud. . . .

There are days like that!!!

I used Prismacolor pencils and pens; acrylics; and modeling paste.  BTW, it is a full moon.

I enjoy the Paint Party Friday artists.  I learn so much and find out so many new supplies and ways of doing my art.  Thank you all my art friends and Kristin and Eva for hosting. Stop by these wonderful artists.

Last week's art and this week's WIP

 I took last week's art and added more Molding Paste and color.  Then started another work. . this time adding my infamous yellow cottage.

I am constantly trying new ways and retrying the old ways to see how each picture will turn out. I feel that I need to fill in the space in the middle.

These pictures are made using the following supplies: pastels, Faber Castell pitt pens, Prismacolor pencils, acrylics, and Golden Light Molding Paste.

Thanks to Eva and Kristin for the Paint Party Friday. The artists on these blogs are some of the best. They share what they have learned and continue to teach their ideas to us through video, detailed description in entertaining and refreshing ways of learning. There are new ideas and different art supplies and learning how to use them. Enjoy!

Pastels and a new technique

I have been learning about new art supplies and how they are used from Paint Party Friday artists.
This picture is made using pastels, Faber Castell pitt pens, Prismacolor pencils, acrylics, and Golden Light Molding Paste.

Thanks to Eva and Kristin for the party. These artists are some of the best and they give of their ideas and how to complete the art. It is most entertaining and refreshing to learn of some new idea and/or art supply and how to use it.

Blessings,
Janet
