Share your work, get noticed and make new friends!

You don't have to share your work, but I grew so much more when I started sharing. For help, you can refer to my project in the Project Gallery and the My Project video for details right after the Intro Video.

Here are the basic steps for your project:

1) Gather your Tools and Materials.

2) Get Inspired on Pinterest, Google, or your favorite search engine. Here's a link to my Abstract Art Board and a link to my Color Palettes Board to give you an inspiration jump start.

3) Set up your Workspace so all your tools and materials are easy to reach when you need them.

4) Dive in to Layer 1 of your painting with a few of the colors in your palette. Set the boundaries for your composition.

5) Continue with Layer 2 to add the rest of your colors and fill in your composition completely. Start to add deeper tones to all your colors.

6) Layer 3 will bring more detailed and interesting strokes to the work.

7) Then Step Back and contemplate your painting to see if you want to add or subdue anything. Add unique touches like pops of color or more unique stokes to add interest.

8) Use the Overview as a quick reference

9) You're done! Congrats on a great job! Pat yourself on the back and take a breather. : )

10) Next steps? Try this process again using the same color palette to start creating a series of work you can hang on your wall, give as gifts, sell in your shop, and post on social media. I have about 6 paintings in my new series because I'm hooked!!

I can't wait to see what you create!!
