Week 45 - Brave Courageous You with Tamara Laporte

This is another paint over technique lesson, one celebrating the fact that we, well I, am a courageous person.

And while I was painting this one, I was thinking of the things that make me courageous.

Things such as my hope that everything will work out or being open to love and the grace I have for me when I am feeling a little nasty + mean about myself...

I really enjoyed this and the way that this painting turned out.

Have you thought lately about how courageous you are? About how brave you are? Spend five minutes today + I promise you will be amazed!

Have an awesome week.

☆ Paint over Technique [Lifebook week 9]

Tweet

This was a very quick lesson this week for Lifebook - a bonus lesson from Danita.

It's a paint over technique, where you pull out a picture from a magazine, newspaper etc, gesso it + paint over it.

And its a fun little thing to do when your stumped creatively or when you only have a short amount of time when you can be creative.

I would imagine it would be a really cool techniques to use in journal pages or as background for collages.

In my image you can see there are places where the original image is poking through. Which I think adds to the depth + layers on the page.

I think I will keep it in my tool box of ideas to jump start those weeks where the painting is stilted + the ideas are not fresh.

Do you have those weeks? Weeks where nothing works? How would you jump start your creativity? I would love it if you shared with us.

P.S I hope you all had a fabulous Easter + are you experiencing a huge sugar crash today? I am suffering from an over stuffing of food in general - no more food for me this week, I am sure I ate my weekly caloric allowance in the last three days! x
