Stop saying you can't paint you can its just the medium your using.

One of the things I have found with being with people and sharing my learning's of painting up a doll its all about the medium you choose to use. So many people get stuck and they think they can't paint and they are the problem. I see that so differently its not the person it's the medium. Everyone is different and we are not all made up to be the same. We must find what works and feels comfortable. I have tried so many different mediums until I found just one that felt comfortable. Then I just played with it and really I had to get to know it. Yes I mean get to know it. Hi my name is Barbara and I want to get to know you. How do you mix and how do you flow. What if I add this and that. What if I change my paint brush. Write down what you like and don't. Sit with a piece of tile and feel that paint flow off your brush. Then look at your stroke. Is there to much paint maybe yes ok I will keep trying with the amount of paint. Second is the stroke to hard, ok let up on the pressure. The biggest part is feeling confident and comfortable and last practice.

My next video is more informative on the mediums I did use and what I use today. All the whys and what I was looking for. Also I will share with you the medium I use on all and I mean all commissions. Never shared it with anyone only because I didn't want any outside influence saying I couldn't. I have found over the years when you are trying something its not always a good thing to share. Sometimes but not always. It can stop your creative flow with yourself and you won't expand on your idea. Do it for yourself and experiment research, practice and take notes. Don't reach out until you feel your in alignment with yourself. If your not then you feel not sure of yourself, giving up on your idea or just give up or here's the big one I'm not good because I didn't go to school to learn it. Don't let that thought in your doorway LOL..

See ya soon.... hugs

So So excited over these wings with pebeo paints

Did this short video of the wings I experimented with. Remember I was testing the pebeo paints and the leaves were torn. The paint did not have anything to do with the tearing. Wanted to share the flexibility you have but the paint gives them support.

Painted eyes next setting them in Stay tuned

Good morning everyone! Well it's Friday and what a great week I have had. I hope all of you here can say the same. I know everyday doesn't just flow so beautiful but those little bumps along the way can help us when we know how to allow and just move on. Everything always turns out. We got our cold front and it's very windy here. I haven't even been out to my studio and turn on some heat LOL. It looks like its going to be another late start for me today and its okay and all things are flowing easy.
Well after dinner last night I did another layer of paint on the eyes. Today I will be setting the eyes in. So, there are some of you that wanted to see pic so I will have them posted today.
Well Im go and I want to say everyone have a wonderful day. Be safe and warm. Hope many of you are planning on creating and just have some fun. For those of you that are still just thinking and haven't taken action. Here's what I could say to you. I have been there didn't touch the clay for 2years had a death in family this happened many years ago. A beautiful friend I have at that time just told me to hold the clay in my hands. Don't think your going to make anything. Well I did just that and that same day I started to sculpt. I came out of that bump who hit me so hard and I started to move along with life in such a blissful and fun loving flow. Things can come our way but its our choice to take action. Talk yourself through it and always say wonderful things that make you feel good. You will be out of your slump in no time. See all later with pictures of setting the eyes in. Please feel free to share with friends lets spread the joy around with art. Hugs

Since the rain has come and the lighting isn't so good where Im at and class is right around the corner. I thought to share with all here what I did with the paint. I did a sponge look and I need to let this dry so I can maybe blend in some shine. So we shall see. Shaking head don't know don't know LOL. Maybe we will see how many times I can change this LOL..
