For all of you who say “I can’t draw” – REMEMBER! This is an EXPERIMENT!
Cheap Supplies
Here’s the link to the 8 minute demo videohttp://carlasonheim.wordpress.com/2014/03/19/new-tutorial-guest-teacher-diane-culhane/ It’s a quick and EASY way to “make” a picture . . . and learn a bit about positive and negative shapes in the process.
(Diane Culhane, the video teacher, is using expensive acrylic paint. Don’t let that stop you. Cheap craft paint, crayons, oil pastels, chalk, watercolor – anything works.)
2. FAST sketch (no thinking) of flowers in a vase. Color negative space around outline. Torn paper ended up on middle flower
TIPS:
Thanks Carla and Diane for taking the time to share!
Everyone approaches creativity in unique ways – remember! There’s no right or wrong.
Therese Lydia Josef is an artist I “tripped over” (literally and figuratively) in the blog-o-sphere. I love her use of strong color. Take a look at how she layers color, collages right on the canvas and creates wonderfully vibrant paintings.
DARE TO LIVE is the title of Therese Lydia Josef’s new body of figurative abstract work. In this video she shows her entire mixed media process of 4 paintings: from drawing to collage to painting. The paintings feature 4 ladies each unique in personality and expression.
Check out her blog http://therese-joseph.blogspot.com/and her list of 30 reasons to celebrate her 30’th anniversary!
Here’s a sample!
“If I ask him to cook – he takes me out for dinner”
“I still beat him in most card games and I like it because he hates it.”
A teeny sample of how my mind sees the world as exhibited by an eclectic output of Puppets, a Gourd Lion, Paintings, Journal pages and stuff.
Can you believe that these were done with a credit card as their “paint brush”?

Not one drop of acrylic pain on the floor but there was some on the wall!
