Artful Prompting, 7

(16 March 2024)

This "week's" challenge was Birds! (Weeks in quotation marks because we are doing a "painting birds" class together as a family and it is taking us longer to find days when everyone can paint and learn together.  We still have one more segment, but we have finished the bulk of the lessons now.)

Enjoy a sampling of family fun exploring feathered friends.

Lots of playing with mixed media happening.😊 One of the most freeing things about this process is learning that I do not have to be married to a decision I make and can always paint over it and try something else.

For example, I painted a bird out of my composition because I wasn't happy with it.  I don't like the resulting colors on the background.  And that is OK because I can either move on or paint over the background again and then draw or paint another bird.  

My daughter is loving the theme and even got bold enough to paint in a background!
