Camp Sunset

It’s finally Friday! It’s been kind of a crazy week full of projects and helping out with my son’s fun fair at school tonight. This painting is very fitting with the fun fair theme this year of camp. It should be a fun night of games, crafts, prizes and good food. This painting was created with watercolor and black pen. I used my silhouette to cut a circular shape out of vinyl and placed it on my watercolor paper before I started to paint. After I finished, I just peeled off the vinyl to reveal a perfect circle. So easy and effective! I think I will keep using the technique on future projects.

Greatest Adventure

Hello everybody! Here is a new sketch that I did recently. This sketch was drawn out and created digitally using Procreate. Our family likes to be outdoors! We especially like to go hiking and camping. We haven’t been able to go recently because it has been so hectic, but hopefully we can try to go soon. Our favorite spot to go to is The Porcupine Mountains in Michigan. It is absolutely beautiful! My husband has been going there with his grandparents since he was little. So it was pretty cool to take our son camping when he was old enough a couple years ago to see Dad’s old stomping grounds. Hopefully soon, we will be able to take both our boys! Until then, enjoy this mountain piece.
