Beyond the Cellar

Another lesson finished. I took my time with this one as it was very involved with lots and lots of layers. I am very happy with the way it turned out. I learned a lot with this lesson too. Now I am ready to tackle something less stressful. I ended up with a stiff neck today from stressing too much while working on this. I must learn to relax while painting.....just breathe!!! LOL!! I think I will work on some watercolor lessons that I am taking from Michelle Brown. One class is learning to loosen up while painting.....I definitely need to study this one MORE!! The other class is Spring Flowers. I've got a link to her blog on the left and you have got to go and check her out. On her blog, she has several videos of her painting that you can watch. The first time I saw her painting I knew I had to take her classes!!

I've spent several days last week cleaning out my studio. What a mess it was and so disorganized. I sorted, and sorted and threw piles of old junk away. It really felt good. I've got my cupboards organized...paints stowed away on shelves and my table cleaned off. Now I'm really ready to do some serious ART!!! It feels good to have it done!!
