Playing in Misty's class

My favorite holiday of the year is over. The food and company were amazing, and we all feel even closer after acknowledging aloud what we are thankful for. So many things... big and small, deep and silly.
I didn't spend much time on art (wouldn't it be nice if I now had 4 days off work just to do art? asking for too much, I know).  I thought I can share what I've been doing for the last several weeks in Misty Mawn's class. Just as I knew it would be, the class is amazing. Watching Misty use art supplies and create beautiful pieces in matter of minutes is a treat. I've been painting backgrounds;

adding transfers;
starting a painting with one piece of collage (two, actually);

building on it;

then starting with a finished background, adding collage to it (not finished - more paint to come later);
sketching;

sketching some more...

There is so much to do, so many things to try and practice. I plan (expect, as Sharon would say) to paint every afternoon next week. Right now it's time to enjoy the extra hot weather and grill something nice... turkey days are over.

  5. Hi Zorana,
    I just love your luscious colours and backgrounds, and your style shows through it all as well.
    I especially love the two birds and the cups. Thank you for sharing, I always enjoy visiting your blog, you are a really great talent, let it shine. And I know what you mean when you say you would like more art time, I have the same feelings......xxx
