Hello Everyone,
Week two of making Christmas tags for our bags is a really cute candy cane design using watercolor, stickles, embossing powder, and a gel pen. I think they turned out so cute! I love the look of candy canes.
Use whatever materials you have in the craft room and have fun!
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, What a happy time we had with our son and his family this past week. Today I am painting a wagon that they use to gather pumpkins and flowers after they choose them in the field. The wagon is my daughter-in-laws and she has had it for a very long time.
I love painting Fall pictures. So much to be thankful for.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, Gathering leaves, acorns, and finding pretty pumpkins in Fall, does it get any better than that!
I love color and getting out my color chart was so much fun. This painting is loaded with rich warm colors. If you want to simplify this project, just eliminate some of the colors I used.
Happy Painting,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, Today we will paint a pen and watercolor picture. I had so much fun painting the corn and the look of the door.
I am really getting into the Fall mood today, as it is turning cooler and I just saw some trees on my morning trip to the Fitness Center that have turned color here in the great state of Michigan.
Happy Fall & Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone,
Today I am going to paint an Althea flower on a Watercolor card and compare it to the one I painted on my Sept. 5, 2019 painting of the same flower on the Watercolor paper. They are both Strathmore 140 lb. cold press.
This video also has many painting tips. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone,
This basket design was so much fun to do! I love doing baskets, hearts, wreaths, floral arrangements; all with my pressed flowers I press in books. I’ve been pressing flowers since 1995.
89 “Basket of Beauty”
I remember so vividly standing in the middle of my garden, putting a pansy on a queen anne’s lace and thinking, this is nature at it’s best, thus, Nature’s Best Art was born August 1995. I thank God for all he has given me to do and taught me.
I’ve made six basket designs. Just for fun take a look at my Pressed Floral Art on our website and let me know which basket design is your favorite and please comment.
