Yesterday was my birthday! Now I have to change the "about me" section to make it 41 instead of 40.
Spent yesterday playing with paint and playing with photoshop. Mom got me a tutorial for my birthday. Thanks Mom! Going to play with watercolors today, I think. That's what the sketch is for. Not sure how to make it look "Van Gogh-y" with watercolors. Thinking about maybe using crayons or oil pastels first. Don't know, we'll see what happens. Also thinking of trying to do "Starry Night" with paper as a collage. I think that's my assignment for awhile..."Starry Night" in as many mediums as I can think of. Just to learn and play and experiment and learn and have fun without any pressure. How many mediums can I think of? Acrylic (I used oil pastels and a sharpie on that one but don't tell), watercolor, paper, crayons, oils, fabric, ummmm, painting on glass, jewelry (??? how? I don't know), clay, print block- either carved or clay-sculpted, yarn (I'm not saying I know how to do starry night with yarn, I'm just brain storming), diorama-oooh, that'd be fun, markers, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, oil-pencils, oil pastels, scratch art whatever the arsty-fartsy technical name for that is...scrafito?, whatever., beads...really? how time consuming would that be?-flowers, food-frosting on a cake... food coloring on bread..., ooh, Starry Night using only things found in my kitchen, Macaroni art! I'm amusing the hell out of myself. Photoshop...that would kill two birds with one stone. Just thinking on the page. Time to go play now...
