Hi there

Thanks for popping in! Did you join us in the SHAC today? The old bus driver was pretty worn out ! Did you notice how the bus kept veering off track, and going in different directions ?!? The end result was pretty though.

I had a little moment of Clarity after we’d already finished the session, too. I realised that you can use the white and pink erasers to remove that ink stain within the design, and even create highlights. Look:

I haven’t had time to finish the picture completely, but am hoping I will get to it later. Main thing is that you see how you can remove colour with the eraser pencils.

I really enjoyed doing this one! I liked being able to brush ink colour into the circle, and blend the two colours to get that fabulous grey-blue-teal which is so reminiscent of Japanese woodblock art. I mentioned Hiroshige this morning. See this woodblock colour I mean? Ours would look beautiful in pink and peach too.

I think you’ll enjoy this brand new, hot off the press next week, SHAC Stamp and Stencil Collection we have created, based on the drawings we have done together in the SHAC. I have drawn a third one too – it’s the secret one – it’s my favourite.

This week, I shall have to slow down though. The TV shows have really been fun and successful, but they do take it out of me. We need to pace ourselves if we are going to make it to the finishing line.

I’ve scheduled a Moment of Clarity Demo/Craftalong a Barbie for this Friday evening at 7pm too. Using the Treescape designs. Arty tricks n tips. Completely free of course. I hope you can join me on Facebook Live or Youtube. If you sign up to our newsletter, you’ll be in the loop, and will never miss a date with my best buddy, ART. Just CLICK HERE and fill in the form.

Quote for the day.
