On-Line Art Workshop Overload

I know it is misguided but I’ve signed up for 3 online art workshops at the same time and I haven’t totally completed the one I started a couple of weeks ago. The good news is that two of them will come with  DVD’s in the off chance I get really far behind. Here is a list of the classes. How could I choose just one?

Color Drop Flowers

by Martha Lever.

Class is offered through Shabby Cottage Studio. No expiration date.  Video class with a couple of handouts.

Medium:

  • Watercolor
  • Pen & Ink
  • Sharpie Fine White Poster Paint

Uses some interesting brushes. I already had collection of chinese brushes. I’ve ordered a cats tounge brush which I think is really cool. When this is all over, I’d like to take Whimsical Landscape Painting also offered by Shabby Cottage Studio.

Gave it a go yesterday. Watched the remaining videos and created these three. I need to work on my stamping ability. Need to try out her two splatter techniques (tooth brush and sand paper) as well as the use of borders.
