I am experimenting with white Gouache, watercolour and hot pressed paper, I decided to paint the girl playing ukelele from my series that I did duirng my workshop with Donna Zagotta. I like the effect very much, I am also using the end of the brush to push the paint sometimes, and because of the hot press paper it makes of a beautiful technique.

This is Friday's challenge, a contour drawing using photshop but posterizing the image. I think it is really cool, I know the people that I drew are not exact, but it was fun to do.

My october challenge

This was October's challenge from Myrna's website ( I added her blog address for people to check it out), Myna is an inspiring artist that is constantly engaging people into working on improving their art.
This challenge involved painting according to our favorite artist/ artists style. As you may have noticed some styles are obvious like Matisse and Van Gogh, also Picasso (doesn't take a genius to figure that out). But I added artists from different parts of the world.
Working on this project was great and enjoyable, it also was very educating because it forced me to read and search different artists that I knew and some I just heard about, it also pushed me to work in different styles and techniques. I loved it especially Yafa is my subject matter. now my husband asked me to do the same for our younger daughter , Zahra, and that is my next project. I am getting busy.
