This week I will share the results of my efforts in creating a wonky portrait, a UFO (unfinished object), and a duck! In addition to taking the Kaleidoscope 2023 course starting in August, I decided to sign up for Milan Art Institute’s Mastery Program. It claims to be able to turn someone (me) into a…
I Invite you in the studio this week to see the results of my efforts. I had a mixed bag of art-making this week. I didn’t really know what to do since I had finished the primary lessons for Kaleidoscope’s August lessons. I had shared my previous week’s paintings with a group of women artists,…
Being an overachiever (hah!), I finished the August lessons from Kaleidoscope 2023 ahead of schedule. I did two mixed media paintings following the triadic color scheme.
