Starting Over

OK...I've been absent for a very long time.  So, I'm starting over.  I'm taking two online art courses.  I feel full of energy and am having lots of fun.

One of the courses is "She Art".  The instructor is Christy Tomlinson.  Check out her art on her blog.  The class content is amazing.  You get soooo much instruction for the cost of the class.  It is definitely a real value.  Here are my assignments from week 1.




















The second class is a watercolor sketching class.  This one terrifies me.  I've always heard that watercolors are very unforgiving.  So, why did I sign-up?  The instructor is Jane LaFazio.  Here is the link to her blog, Janeville.  She does many types of art, but I especially love the watercolors.  I've been following her for some time, and this introductory class seemed like the right opportunity to take the plunge.  Our first week assignment was fruit.  Here are my first watercolor attempts.
