Those of you who read my homeschool blog, know that I am learning to paint, using the one stroke method. Since I really want to paint jewelry, I am going to share my progress here. The first paper is the teacher's, my mom. The second is mine. You can clearly see the difference, lol. She has been painting for quite some time, so I guess it really is not a good comparison. I have decided that I will practice for a little bit each night, that I can. The leaves are especially hard. I got a new brush called the Filbert brush, and I really love this brush. I would love to get good enough, where I can paint jewelry, candle holders, and whatever suits my fancy. Do you paint? What method do you use?
Those of you who read this blog know that I want to paint on jewelry. This is attempt number one at painting on glass cabochons. I will let them set for a few days, then seal them, and list for a few dollars to see if there is interest. I have a lot of improvements to make before I am ready to list them at retail prices. You can see the Sand Dollar I painted on as well. Not yet sure what I will do with it, but have considered adding a wire wrapped bail and making it a large and in charge pendant. What do you think?
