Cinnamon uses a light pencil line and writes out thoughts, prayers and wishes on her canvas before she starts her painting. This is amazing! I wish I had thought of this years ago. Most of us artists already pour so much love into a painting, that this is such a wonderful inclusion into our work. I know I will be doing this on my next work. I love this idea! Thanks Cinnamon Cooney, Art Sherpa, for sharing this beautiful thing with the world. And thanks for sharing your love of art with us.<br />ChristyChristyLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06297040621608486395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523920543668166018.post-58329887491992856182016-07-17T11:02:00.003-04:002016-07-17T18:25:23.960-04:00Prismacolor Fairy Speedpaint VideoThis weeks video is about a tiny fairy done up in Prismacolor pencils. I used a baby oil to blend the colors. I love the end cut out! The baby oil made the colors soft and muted, very different look from using a blender pencil or paint thinner.<br />
I am hoping to start doing subscription boxes, art tutorials and product trials. Right now I am just getting my Youtube feet wet with these speed paints. I hope to bring lots more content every Sunday. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.<br />

I even used a few old quilt tops. I added embroidered pieces to many of them. Take a look.<br />

I have also begun to turn several of my sketches and paintings into embroidery patterns. You can find the first of these on Etsy. The Rose from my blue/green embroidered rose above is in the store now as a pattern. All of these collages are in my Etsy store as well.<br />
