Day 14-15: Back to Business




Soooo, Christmas time was not the best time to decide to paint everyday :( although I thought about it every day I was WAY too busy entertaining family and friends to sit and paint.  I did paint some so I will count these pictures as days 14 and 15.  Hopefully I am back on track now and will start painting everyday again :)  75 days to go!!!

Day 13, Something Fishy


Today I planned on painting fish on two of my kids but they had “better” things to do.  Kristin was the only one willing to be painted so I had to paint myself.  I am getting much better at loading my brush properly.  The next two days I will be in New York so I will just have a Wolfe Essential Palette and maybe a Tag rainbow cake with me but I will still be painting :) Wish me luck.

Days 9-12



Sooooo, Thursday I painted myself as a winter princess, Saturday I painted children at my parties and tonight I played around with small tear drops.  I also painted Kristin as a zombie doll.  After, I took her to the store so she could have some fun staring at folks.  I am having a lot of fun painting everyday and I can already see a difference.   Please sign up and follow me :) Good night!

Day 8, More Lisa Young :)



Today I watched a few more YouTube tutorials by Lisa Young. She is amazing! On the gingerbread man face I made my first stars...I really like them :) Tomorrow I think I am going to work more on fast lines and tear drops. I will also try to take some time and watch another class on FABATV.  One day soon I am going to paint my DH :)

Day 7, Snowman Eyes



Today I watched a YouTube tutorial by Lisa Young www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DM31EWyQbA I love this design so I tried it on Hannah (my 19 month old) first.  Later Amber (my 6 year old) wanted one too so I got to paint it again.  I didn’t have the same metallic colors Lisa used but I still love the idea and I hope to paint it again.   

Day 6, Check the Box


Tonight was one of those check the book kind of nights.  I used a Tag rainbow cake for the sponging and then painted a bunch of random lines.  I wish I would have used a lighter color for the lines.  I have no clue what I am going to paint tomorrow.

Day 5

Long day!  I was hoping to paint more tonight but I think I have painted enough for one day.  This week I want to continue to practice my sponging and work more on my lines.  I also want to start working on my book of designs I offer.   Good night :)
