Hand painted fabric

I went to a hand painted fabric class at French General. The instructor was the artist Cathy Callahan. Above are a few of my experiments with paint and fabric. Fun.

A new adventure

I'm embarking on a new journey to learn how to paint with water colors. I'm going to practice by myself by drawing and painting using water colors, gouache, pens and what ever makes me happy. The next step will be to take an actual class.

My voice

I'm trying to find my own voice in this medium, water colors are new to me. Sure I painted with water colors before, but I never got to where I wanted to be, just wasn't crazy about the result, until now. I love the transparent quality of the colors when they mix with each other. After watching a few videos on Youtube I tried to paint myself. My graphic esthetics took over and I added pens and colored pencils. I wonder where it will take me and how I'll make it my own. Other than getting the proper paper and brushes, I'm planning to take a class at Otis, my favorite art school in the area. This is my first attempt to find myself in water colors (It's probably not a good idea to post my first attempts after the amazing art of Kiana Mosley, I guess we all have to start somewhere).
