This one is the first chosen to get..."Tha' treatment"! So excited:) 

Check in on us to see her progress.

Lighting isn't the best but you still get an idea of what I'm working on.  I'll post better pics. tomorrow.  I can hardly wait to paint and collage these pieces!

...adding to my group of faces.  What will you become?

Last year I was inspired by the beautiful collages of Anne Bagley and purchased a couple of her DVD's to see her technique.  I've created theses faces, and still working on more, utilizing the oil painting technique I learned in a class two weeks ago.  I'm going to combine the techniques and see where they lead me! 

Okay...I'm really done now.  I will not add anything else to this..promise.

I'm playing around with this 'wet-on-wet' oil painting technique I was introduced to on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  I had no idea you could get so much completed in such a short period of time using oils.  I've used this technique with watercolors but had no idea of its possibilities with oils.  Lovin' the practice and have a couple of pieces I want combine "Me" on with this new technique. Totally excited!

Oh, and did I mention..no drawing?  I have never painted anything without drawing it first...NEVER!

Who is this by the way?

I and other county art teachers have had the opportunity to participate in a two-day workshop with Ms. Carla Sanchez.  I'm excited about what I've learned and look forward to incorporating those techniques into my own work and also giving my kids a watered-down taste also!  Everyone's work was phenomenal and she's an awesome instructor!  She offers classes at the PFAA Courthouse Gallery.  Call them at 770-445-9008 for more info.

My, two-day painting!
