Sooooooo Sewn....

I have enrolled in the Mary Ann Moss online class SEWN.
We make our own patterned papers then sew them into various projects.
First... big loose painting.
I have learned that no matter how much I admire those that can use lots of colors at once,
I can use only one or two at a time and feel its authentic to my hands.
And I need to indulge a color combination over and over.
More, more, more...
 
My first project is this pattern journal...
 
into which patterns are painted.
I am in a creative growth spurt.
Learning and growing and yet back very much to Crayola watercolors...

  1. I use one color at a time, adding more as I go along. Unless you really know your colors, you can end up with a muddy mess. You may be learning Missy, but you are still accomplished. LOVE!

    1. I took a class with Dawn Sokol that helped with that so much. I am not a painter for sure and don't even really love paint, but I like to use some. So good to let myself play!
