I just finished this parrot painting for the Online School, and plan to unveil the tutorial in mid-May. If it looks familiar, you are correct – it’s featured on my website, and many subscribers requested a tutorial. It it was fun to create for a second time!
I found an artist on Youtube – Ross Barbera – he creates jewelry out of watercolor paper, and his videos are my new favorites to watch. His tutorials are captivating and easy to understand, and look! I created this necklace today! Thanks Ross!
Pig (Guinea Pig, that is)
A a lovely former student requested this commission- my first Guinea Pig! Do we need a tutorial for the school? This one sure was fun!
Portrait
It was an honor to create this portrait for a friend and fellow teacher. I had promised it in 2016, and just couldn’t get it right. I put it away for a year, practiced painting portraits, and gave it another go – so glad it worked out! She got a double dose for her birthday this week – this portrait, and her husband surprised her with one of my favorite sheet music paintings!
Coming next, I’ll be working on a mother’s day commission and editing the Parrot video for the school. I love what I’m doing, and dream about it at night. Weird.
