Rainy days painting, painting cards - any/every occasion cards for anyone... just to let them know, I'm thinking of them.
This is what I paint when I don't feel like painting. I keep them simple and all the same pallet, usually 4 colours for ease and simplicity. Bears are always enjoyable & keeps me reminded: Love Bears All! I'll probably send out two and add the rest to the collection -to mail on another rainy day.
I've watched a few lessons on painting on YouTube -search Gouache tutorials. The ones using HIMI are cool as I have a box set (the same as the artist is using) and I love Studio Ghibli -here is a list of films (some on Netflix) the colours are incredible as is the style, they are usually the lessons I enjoy most. How wonderful people load them up there to help others become better artists, thank you Universe & Yourtube. Below is a lesson I took and tried to keep up with the video, really tho - it turned out quite well as I din't have time for paint to dry in-between.. I was live painting and the lesson was time lapse. lol. Made for some rushing. I'm not taking lessons to paint it 'exactly' anyway, I'm painting it to learn different techniques & tricks, which I do every lesson. It helps my art become better'.

What a difference a day makes I the forest! Yesterday the girls and I ventured out and found an early bright red mushroom the fun name is 'scarlet elf ears' I forget the technical name Storm told me & am amazed he knows them all. Trout Lillies are starting to bloom all over the forest! Yellow and blue, they are easy to distinguish. Apparently, they are edible & known to prevent conception & emetic (make you vomit)... so beware if you dare, I don't think I'll bother nibbling on them any time soon. Same with mushrooms - DO not eat unless you know.
Ontario schools have banned cellphones in the classroom - yay! I think kids will have a better chance now that they are not as distracted. I do think it's a move in the right direction & vaping - good on that too.
Anyhow -it's a lovely day to finish my card creations & think of something for May the 4th. & Global Marijuana March in Toronto - we sure had some fun when we went. Enjoy your day - perfect if you're a duck!
