<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I succumb to the temptation of glitter....left here by my SIL, Melody!</div>
<p> It gives me a shimmer on the orbs...not totally like a shiny bubble, but still fun! ( my friend Gayle says she read that "glitter is the Ebola if the art world!) LOL!</p>

<p> Time to work on her face for awhile! The weather was so dry yesterday, that the paint was almost dry as soon as it hit the canvas! Sort of a challenge!</p>
<p>I had to use several steps to get this close up of her face printed out... </p>

<p> Now I am <strike>struggling </strike> working on getting her to emerge! </p>
<p>I can see that she is looking older than she is, and that I may not want to make her frown as deep as in the photo...or is that the real charm here???</p>

<p> By looking at these side-by-side on the computer screen, I am able to find what is needed...usually!</p>
<p> Several short painting sessions later, I am getting there!</p>

<p> Better,.... now to fix the color and shadows on her and finalize the garden......fun!</p>
<p>Below is the final painting. I am not going for realism so much as the charm and joy of the moment!</p>
<p>Brush stokes of unexpected color ad movement and energy!</p>

I started with a white canvas textured with red paint from a brayer and stencil.<br />
<br />
<br />
After painting thick black and white paint with palette knife...and highlighting with turquoise, yellow, purple.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Adding some houndstooth black and white fabric for fun! While painting this, it seemed to call for a midcentury retro look....so the check was a good idea.....<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Finally, a bit more collage on the canvas and paint on the chicken! and the red and white paper is reminiscent of a kitchen towel or table cloth....<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">

One more photo, showing how the edges of canvas are finished using the last of the houndstooth and more red acrylic.<br />

<p> She grew, the chair shrank and straightened up. A plant appeared beside her , shadows were blue violet.</p>
<p>I collaged papers above her and under the window. I worked on her face, hands and feet (only one foot shows!). I took her back to class for more input.</p>
<p>It was decided that red/ coral is the dominate color, that blue violet and orange were fighting for second place, followed by green then white....so more orange less blue violet! Also more light around her as the center of interest...</p>

<p> This is a sketch I did from a magazine photo (National Geographic?) last summer. I am "on" a theme of women with a landscape....so I decided that she is Afghani. I found images of landscapes in Afghanistan, and chose this one to print out and add to my idea page.</p>
<p>Took this to painting class, Thursday, along with a blank canvas. I purchased cadmium orange on sale (!) and lightly covered the canvas. Then I took this stencil from Stencil Girl (she designs and sells lazer cut stencils)'</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-erWlSnBuSpU/U-eO8b6q-WI/AAAAAAAAK5E/aqZuzbX-ZzU/s1834/Photo%252520Aug%25252010%25252C%2525202014%25252C%2525207%25253A51%252520AM.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-erWlSnBuSpU/U-eO8b6q-WI/AAAAAAAAK5E/aqZuzbX-ZzU/s500/Photo%252520Aug%25252010%25252C%2525202014%25252C%2525207%25253A51%252520AM.jpg" id="blogsy-1407703551227.045" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="665" alt=""></a></div>
<p> With the stencil, I added deep rose colored lines in the background. Much will be covered as I paint, but I hope to keep some where appropriate! I venture on....block in, using BIG brushes only the head and shoulders. The rose stencil will make a great drape on her shoulders! (Afghani infinity scarf, LOL?), so I allow some of it to show, and fill in the blue just a bit.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-QMI8s-f5PX8/U-eO92LZOWI/AAAAAAAAK5M/hmDjD8Vf--g/s640/Photo%252520Sep%2525207%25252C%2525202011%25252C%25252011%25253A09%252520PM.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-QMI8s-f5PX8/U-eO92LZOWI/AAAAAAAAK5M/hmDjD8Vf--g/s500/Photo%252520Sep%2525207%25252C%2525202011%25252C%25252011%25253A09%252520PM.jpg" id="blogsy-1407703551277.7954" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="334" alt=""></a></div>
<p>At this point, I had checked the Internet for images of Afghani women, only to find that many had been mutilated by Taliban justice, their noses and ears cut off! But they were strong images for sure, my heroine will still have her nose! I wanted to see the colors and textiles they wear. Here is one image I like(above), but she was facing the wrong way for this painting.</p>
<p> Still, how the light hits her face and the skin tones are good information.</p>
<p>I choose indigo violet/blue for her head scarf....and decide that I will try to work from my sketch, but since I feel a little blocked here, it is time to work on the landscape!</p>
<p>Blue violet mountains. Paint quickly with a big brush, leave the orange sky and half roses....good atmosphere feeling for strong war torn emotions....</p>
<p>There is large bag of collage materials available. I decide that this will help me break up the endless desert-like foreground. So I pull out those papers, and fibers which I like....there is even flat cork for a hill....</p>

<p> I realize that the cork "hill" is also shaped like a heliocopter. OK, that is evocative of wartime...... I guess everything down with GOLDEN gel medium.</p>
<p>Thinking more of the colors I am using, I decide I need more reds...WOW! Artistically, it is very fortunate that poppy fields are beautiful. Though opium trade is the dark side!</p>

<p> I study the images of Afghanistan's poppy fields and paint my landscape, even the heliocopter hill is covered I waving poppies. The woman's face is emerging, sunlight hitting her. I'm still blocked and not ready for the struggle of who she is.</p>
<p>I find this photo. Appropriately somber and pensive. </p>

<p> It would take a lot of change....tilt of head, lift of chin....so I try to skip all that re-doing....after all I like to paint quickly and keep it fresh.....in the meantime, I found red rice paper with golden strands imbedded, and made the foreground poppies more dimensional....unable to make her less pretty and more troubled, this is where I leave her now.</p>

<p> Hmmm, just seeing this on the screen, I notice I could make stronger shadows by her nose which could add character to her face. What troubles me is that it is lacking....so much for fast quick paintings! LOL!</p>
<p>Off to work on that now! </p>
<p>I jumped right in with some shadows...and think it made her more "real", living in a dark world....</p>

<em>My sister gave me a fabulous birthday present! Three days at a watercolor workshop with artist <a href="http://www.raswatercolors.com/">Richard Stephens</a> . We played and learned!</em><br />
<em>Above is the last exercise....we painted the same subject (of our choice) twice. Once for a full hour, and then again for just 30 minutes. The painting on the left was the first painting, and the one on the right was the second. I like them both and both will soon be for sale.</em><br />
<br />
Richard works with lots of pigment and often very wet paper. He is not timid or tenative. He says that the fewer strokes and the fewer times you touch the paper , the better! AND he uses his biggest brushes as long as possible! His demonstrations are great!<br />
<br />
So...here are my exercises from the 3 days......<br />
<br />
