Finding a...

 

way forward with these 2 canvases in the last week of the Flora Bowley's online course. I don't think either of them of finished but almost there!


 

this canvas had a girl with golden hair last week but she has gone and a landscape has appeared!

there is a third canvas which needs a bold move next week I think as I just can't find a direction as it is.

Paint Party!

I managed to grab a bit of sunshine yesterday evening by doing some work on one of my Bloom True canvases out on the veranda. My awkward teenager canvas looks like she might survive puberty after all and has turned into a young beauty with a golden mane of hair, though still a work in progress:



 

I am going to share this over at Paint Party Friday!

Letting Go

Here is a picture of 3 canvases I am working on as part of Flora's Bowley's Bloom True online course. Been adding more variation and focussed on letting go this week! If anyone has been thinking about taking this course I can say I am really enjoying it so far and you don't need endless hours to keep up with the course.

A deck

of affirmation cards. This was a little exercise Flora Bowley set us, she said use up any left over paint and write down words important to you. I decided to use go down the mixed media route and I am really pleased with how they turned out. I coated them in gloss gel medium again and stamped into them, it is so hard to pick it up on camera but the effect is really great.

Starting to Bloom

 

I have signed up to Flora Bowley's Bloom True course and so far I am having lots of fun, with some really thought provoking exercises. Here are the fruits of my week one labours which are all works in progress until the 5 weeks of the course are done:

My intuition told me to add some paint to a third canvas and start with the cool colours!
