Painting Ceramics
Today we went to a pottery place and painted our own ceramics. They’ll bake them and gloss them and give them back to us on Friday. I made my very own tea set (because I don’t actually own one). First I was just going to make these two cups… But as we went along, the…

iPhone art (#14)
Decided to paint on/with my iphone today after lunch, and tomorrow we’ll be painting pottery. I’m trying to decide on a cup or a plate and if I should make a movie reference or just play with it. But that’s besides the point – today I tried something different with the brushes app instead of…

Reflection (#13)

Art on the West Coast (#6)
Today we went to the slopes and some of the people in our group skied, and Alex and I went tubing. Needless to say, I didn’t do any watercolors, but I did manage to get my daily dose of art in while I was warming up and watching the snowboarders come down the mountain. Turns…

Watercolor on the West Coast #5
I just did 3 more cards this morning, but I had fun. I did them on the desk in my room instead of the kitchen because I thought a change of scenery would be interesting.
