25.01.2022 Just before Christmas my bestie and I went to the peonies farm in Red Hill ,Victoria. Only open a couple of weeks a year but well worth the wait. These gorgeous layered blooms are the inspiration for my next painting. I will keep you updated. New years motto paint something new every week.
25.01.2022 Welcome to Week 3 of our Arting from afar series. We start with a recap of last weeks prompts and then began with taping our paper into 6 equal parts. This week the chosen palette was Magenta, Light Turquoise/Aqua and Yellow and I used Art Spectrum 400gsm acrylic paper, A3. You don't need to commit to a full series, just grab your paints and join in when you can. As per usual, we will each pick a prompt for the day. Any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments below. Chroma Australia

22.01.2022 Happy new year painting friends. Let’s make this year a year for learning something new. Attend an art class. Support local talent in an area you wouldn’t normally venture. Multi media, print making or even life drawing . Try new products, we often get stuck using one medium, let’s try colour pencils on your watercolour or oil glazing on your acrylics. Some times change can boost your confidence and remember make mistakes the best things can be created . We would love to see what you have created. This piece is for the Melbourne garden show art exhibition. Acrylic, gold leaf and pen work . No plan when I started but finished with a piece I love .
20.01.2022 Watercolours off to the framers for the art show .
20.01.2022 Welcome to the second week of our Arting from afar series. This video begins with a catch up about last weeks art challenge. We discuss what we liked and what took us out of our comfort zone, how the paper held up and how we generally felt about the whole series. Then we move on to this weeks series, the supplies we are using with a paint along video of how we create our background for the coming week As usual, please feel free to join in at any time and post your photos in ...the comments below. And if you have a prompt that you would like us to use please add to the comments and we will make sure we use it this week. Art is medicine, it is a moving meditation and it is nourishment for your soul. If this is your first time with us, we will be picking a prompt each day to use for our art blocks that have been created from todays background. We will both be using the same prompt so it will be fun to see what we both come up with. The idea here is to have a daily art practice, regardless of the time that is available. It can be as little as 5 minutes or an hour but regardless, it is a practice that is an essential part of my wellbeing toolkit. Why not make it yours?
