| One Stroke Painting |
In June 2005, I decided to really try and learn One Stroke Painting by
going to some classes held at our local craft store. I had been trying
to learn for years, but just couldn't sit down long enough to really
teach myself. Though I really have a long way to go, I am happy with
what I have done so far.

| This piece was made during my first class. You can tell that I am very bad at leaves and getting the shading right. In fact, I think the instructor painted about 1/4 of this showing me how. |
During my second class, I started painting a birdhouse using the same flowers as
above, but have since painted over it. Someday I will start that one over. But during
my third class we were told to paint on canvas, which scared me for some
reason....only artists paint on canvas. The subject was to be sunflowers and I think it's
pretty good. I still need to work on my placement and symmetry.

I decided to paint some shaker
boxes that were to hold the note
cards I made using the Iris Folding
Technique. I was not happy with
my shading, and I'm not quite sure
what to do about the paint from the
bottom image showing through to
the top image. I think if the paint on
the bottom had not dried first, that
wouldn't be a problem, but since I
was making these in sort of an
assembly line fashion, the first layer
dried before I could paint the
second layer and so on.
