A few years ago, I took a She Art class from Christy Tomlinson. Several of my first canvases were just plain ugly but I kept playing. I found a creative niche in mixed media. I joined several on line groups and began art journaling and playing with the products in my stash. Watercolors were fun but I really could not seem to manipulate them. A few years ago, I took a class at the high school but the teacher did not really help us. This past month I signed up for another class. The teacher is very kind and helpful and has really been encouraging me. Yesterday in class I painted these flowers. My teacher looked at them and then gave me a big hug. She was just so delighted.
I am quite proud of my self. For years I said I was not artistic but maybe I am........
My thanks go to Sandee Setliff and the Mixing It Up and Embrace Your Art Daily Facebook Groups which I am a part of. I appreciate the feedback and support!!!
Visiting from djdardkreations for the first time, though she introduced you on April 19th so some time has gone by since then. I think your watercolors are beautiful and it's amazing what an encouraging teacher can do for a student, isn't it?! I have a very scribbly handwriting yet took up calligraphy. I was thrilled when I could get two lines to meet! Thanks to my instructor/mentor it became my artwork. I found stamping 18 years later and love making cards. Keep up the good work.
