I have painted many a journal page in the past couple of years. I've painted dozens of walls in various homes throughout my life time. I even drew and painted a small mermaid on wood at Suzi Blu's "Mermaids by the Sea" workshop last month.....
But I have NEVER painted a canvas. Not one. AND I'll soon be a student of Shiloh Sophia McCloud. I will apparently be guided to paint a 3'X4' painting of my "legendary self"! I really should figure out how this painting thing works.
I frantically dug through my art supplies. Out came a humungous roll of my kid's craft paper, every acrylic paint I own and some never used oil pastels. I'll just teach myself how to work on a larger surface. Well....I'll just "play around" on this big sheet of paper.
15 or 20 feet later and I'm hooked!
I don't care if it ever "turns into something" (like art)....I'm having a blast and that's what it's all about!
Who knew that I liked geometric shapes so much.....I sure didn't! Uh oh. Can I actually paint my "legendary self" using geometric shapes?? Oh I have so much to learn.....
It's sure not realism, but it surely is fun!
