More frosty Winter Nights

Hello :)
Yup ,I'm one day late posting...sorry. I came off nightshift yesterday morning , had a bout 3 hours sleep, caught up with housework and some other things, cooked dinner and sat down on the sofa in front of the TV. Big mistake ! I got sleepy and instead of posting ,I forgot and went straight to bed. This morning I had the "oops" moment when I remembered. Ah well, I'm human , and not a machine.

Okay, let's start with art news. Did you ever want to learn about colors? About mixing ?
Over at https://learn.blackchalkco.com/p/palettiquette you can do a free month long class (weekly tasks) in your own time. It started beginning of January, but better late than never. I just did week 1. All you need is the 3 primary colors (yellow, red ,blue ) and from these you will learn how to mix lots and lots of different colors and shades.
I just did my first color wheel and i's so much fun creating your own watercolor palette.

All these and more from just 3 colors.

Inkstruckstudio's 2018 Watercolor challenge continues with Food items for week 5 -theme Donut.
I get hungry looking at them :)

Week 4 theme was Squares.
I used metallic fluorescent paints and filled them with gold floral doodles.

 And the grey weather made me buy some daffodils. I wanted some color inside for a little spring feeling. I will take some close ups and try to paint them.

It's my weekend and I have lots of plans. How much of them I will actually get done remains to be seen.
I'll let you know next post ;)

For now it's Frosty Winter Nights time....

You have one more part coming next week and then ....well, I don't know about you, but I have the desire for some more colorful designs now. We have Valentines Day coming up and it's not long until Spring. So enough of winter and let's start a new season.

For those interested in knitting that patchwork blanket, I will also try to do some updates on that page soon.
Stay creative

Frosty Winter Nights

Yeah...we really have those here in the moment. But I don't mind the cold as long as it stays dry and sunny..... Hello :)
It's rather late already , so I try to make this another quick post. But I have pics to show this time. I finished another Skillshare class over the weekend and also a challenge.
Week 3 of the Watercolor Challenge was Shapes- Diamonds

I decided to create a star shape and fill them with galaxy style and add a kind of web to the white space.

The Skillshare class was 5 projects/lessons. I'm showing 3 of them here. The task was Autum/Winter illustrations in leaf form.

The final project and definitely my favorite ;)




And now to Frosty Winter Nights....

Here come the previews...

Here the links for this week, one with backgrounds and one with elements

The next parts of Frosty Mornings

Hello,
hope you all had a lovely weekend . I, myself , just came home from work , at 11.20 pm . So  will make this a quick post and then get my beauty sleep :)
And I really don't have anything to show this week.
It's not that I have been lazy, but I concentrated my energy onto other areas the past week.
I did my "New Year's de-clutter" . So far I have managed 2 rooms. The kitchen and my bedroom ,including all clothing, have been done. I got rid of at least 1/4 of my wardrobe contents. I'm down another clothing size , so these too large tops and jeans had to go. Same as a few old sheets which just didn't look nice anymore and the elastic was practically gone.
Sorting through the kitchen I got rid of old baking trays and forms, and replaced them with some new ones I found in the sale.
It's not a quick job to get everything out of the cupboards , but it's satisfying in the end when everything is sorted and in order.
So no pictures of artwork this week, but straight to the freebie parts.

Detailed previews in my next post .

Until then

I'm back with new freebie

Hello everybody and happy new year :)
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas as well.
For us it was an early one on the 21st , the Pagan way on Winter Solstice day , because I had to work Christmas and New Years eve as well.
And I turned 50. Fifty years old...can you bloody believe it,lol ? I'm never going to be a dignified old Lady. I like my metal concerts too much.
Creativity wise I have been busy again. Not busy enough enough.There never seem to be enough hours in a day for all the things I want to do.
But I'm taking part in a watercolor challenge which will run all year by Inkstruck Studios.
https://www.inkstruck.com/
January theme is shapes, and week 1 circles. The perfect opportunity for some planets .

I love painting galaxies !

Week 2 is already done as well. Theme is triangles and I had that "aha" moment when it came to my mind that cut gems are made out of a lot of triangles.

And then I finished another new kit. It's a planner/journal kit and will have add-ons throughout the year.

But now to the freebie. It's still Winter ....

...and there will still be a few "Frosty Mornings"
This kit has a selection of snowmen, the Ice Queen and lots of wintery backgrounds and elements.

Here is a simple layout I made with it, showing my son and the snow angel he made.

As always 2 parts today.
