first class!

Now here is Em’s. I liked painting this a lot. I was thinking about how I have been avoiding this watercolory-washy look, because for me its easy. Its what happens when I paint with watercolor. Its fast, bright and immediate. And its kind of a one-trick pony after a while. So I have been avoiding it, and trying other things, and getting different affects. But sometimes, when the paint just isn’t doing what I want, its so nice to come back to something familiar.

In other news my art school had its first class last night!!! EEEE! Can you sense my excitement? I am so thrilled to have started this, and it was just so fun to be painting with others. We stretched canvases and did some washes on raw canvas, a little paint mixing, a little meditation. Oh, I tell you, fun times. I have changed the program to allow people to join at any time, and to be able to miss classes. I think we all need that sort of flexibility. That way it can be a constant rotation of people and art. If you can make it I’d love to see you! email me at angie@lilacwindow.com

have a good weekend!
