This weekend I had an art date with a friend. It was fun to share all my supplies and to create with someone else. I don't get a chance to have art play dates very often. Most of the time I have to convince my sister and niece that they want to come over and play with me. I love having a day of fellowship with other women. It feeds my soul and reminds me that I am not alone in this world. We spent the day creating one painting a piece. Here is what I came up with:
This piece was inspired by Effy Wild from the Book of Days Project
bookofdays.org. I used techniques that I have learned in a variety of places.
Yesterday I watched a live stream by Effy Wild,
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wild-soul-art-stream who was doing a lesson on drawing faces and different styles of girls. I drew a whimsy girl during the stream. I colored her in with Prisma colored pencils and then painted her with pearlescent watercolors. I also added a bit of stamping. Here is my little whimsy girl:
I hope that you have fun seeing my art and keep creating.

I LOVE your girl!!!!
You don't have to convince me to come over. I like doing the art, it's just finding the time. Any time I'm home you can bring stuff over here too. I love your new girl, and the flowers.
So pretty and light. I always find visiting your page very inspirational. x Julie
Yay, an art date! What a perfect way to spend a day - and with such beautiful results! Your girl and your flowers are so pretty - sounds like a fun class with Effy! xoxo
Art dates are fun!! my dream is to have a big studio and have all my friends drop by and paint :))
your art is so happy, Janelle!!

Hi Janelle! An art date - oooh lucky you! Love your flowers in the garden of life. Great concept. I might have to copy your idea (I won't put it on my blog, ha). I'm so glad you like my girlies. I do wish I had more time to take doing them so I wouldn't keep making those mistakes that always bug me later, lol. I love your book of days too. The cover is delicious! I will be having my first art date in years when I go CA next week! Wished we lived close, you wouldn't have to try and convince me to play art, ha, ha, ha!
