Blog Topics

October 4, 2013

The 30 day challenge is over and I am having withdrawal symptoms.  Maybe that little pressure was a good thing. 

On the last day I posted this collage on facebook and pinterest so I will put it here, too. 

Also, I would welcome ideas for blog topics, I am in a slump there, too.  When I started my blog a few years ago I wanted it to have a purpose which was to provide enough info for someone to learn to paint and to save others time by learning from my mistakes.  I was thinking about including the lesson plans I use for teaching students the basics.  So far my sister is interested in that.  Please leave some feedback under comments.  (I removed the robot step so it is easy to do)  I've received a few comments that demos are helpful. 



I used "ipiccy" for this.  It's fun  and easy to use.  Don't forget about my other favorite "animoto".  I did one for the challenge, but my husband said it was "over the top".

  1. I am feeling the same way, withdrawal symptoms.... Maybe we just need to set some kind of new goal for ourselves and accomplish that?
    I like any kind of topic that has to do with tips on how you do things, from your set up to your process, and of course tutorials of any kind. Special A Ha moments in your day, when you find that things work better this way or that way? There is always something to learn from other people!

    1. Thank you for the comments. I've only done two small paintings and one big one since the challenge and am trying to get back into some larger ones. Today i did a blog about "value". I'm not sure if that is useful to anyone. My sister wants to start painting.

  2. I love seeing step by steps and how tos. When I was in art school we all did large abstracts with very little paint like Helen frankenthauler. I like seeing other artists approach to realistic subjects. I too am missing the challenge. Right now I am down with a virus and so is my computer and I had to give back the borrowed camera!

    1. Hi Sandra, sorry to hear about your virus and your computer's virus. I like to see how other people approach art, too.
