Défi du carnet de croquis à l'acrylique : cinq jours d'automne

I'm so happy you shared your paintings with me! I am going to comment on each separately. If you enjoyed the class, please consider leaving a review. It really helps me as a teacher. 1. The shadows and motion are great! I really get the sense of the wind whirling the leaves and the skirt. 2. Trick or treating...woohoo! I think this is a fun composition and I like how you painted it from BEHIND the characters. 3. Excellent burning leaf pile. Look at those flames! I can almost smell that delicious leaf smoke. 4. Those orange pumpkins stand out so well against that blue. And The Great Pumpkin Peanuts cartoon is one of my all time favorites...I watch it every single year at Halloween. 5. The pie looks scrumptious, and I like how you made the golden mustard background an ombre shade that gets darker around the edges. Thanks again...I LOVE seeing these paintings!

Your welcome. Thank you for the class. I had other paintings but those were my favorites. I watch The Great Pumpkin each year too. I really enjoyed the class!

It's such a classic. I'm so glad you liked it! I am considering making one for other seasons. But you could also just take these ideas and apply them to winter, spring, summer.

It really helped me get out of my slump. I have a brain injury so I sometimes forget shadows and mess up on paintings.  Your class reminded me it's okay to do that and not get discouraged all the time. Thank you for this class. I  will  be doing your other classes that I saw and any new ones you do. Thank you.

Oh my goodness...thank you for sharing that with me, Angelina. I actually had a massive head injury almost a year ago.  It took me a while to get back into the swing of things, too. I was having a hard time organizing my thoughts and concentrating. I think it is SO important to let your art time be a place where you can do ANYTHING without judgement. I try to think of it like when I was a child and lying on the floor playing with crayons. It's a time just for ME, and just for joy and exploration. When I go into a project with expectations or ideas of how it "should look", I get frustrated. And that is seriously something I love about acrylics...make a mistake? Just paint OVER IT. It's so forgiving. I look forward to seeing you in future classes. If there is any topic you'd like to see me cover, please let me know. My next class will be on creating a card that is 8 pages long...like a Mega Card, or a Mini-Zine. It will use mixed media, including acrylic and marker and collage. I think you'll like it!
 Say hello any time.

That sounds fun. I will definitely will say Hello again!
