Here's a bit of fun for us to do.

I've started this little 4X6" painting and the object of the game is for you to finish the painting creating your own weird animals or monsters

I started out by masking off some areas with masking fluid (using my thumb and a stick) and added watercolour and salt.

Now it's over to you!!

Print this image onto, preferably hot press watercolour paper and see…

I found this particularly intriguing! And thought of all of you LMMers that recycle everyday stuff into your art!  Enjoy!

"Équinoxe de l'Automne" is finished with watercolour and graphite pencil.



She and I have had several long conversations over the last few weeks, and it seems she finds my questions impertinent, and always replies with "None of your business." So, that being that, the contents of her little box are…

Gonna get messy up in here!

Now that I have an idea of what the insurance company is going to give me for my art supplies, I've tried to take stock of myself as an artist. I had, of course, over the years accumulated an enormous amount of art and craft supplies as I moved from medium to medium. My journey eventually led me to the world of mixed media and assemblage. Once there, however, I have found myself gravitating to more specific types of assemblages and collage. I now have a unique opportunity to…
