Sunday Sketches

The hubby and I headed down to Pocatello a town an hour from here to have a Valentine lunch. We headed to McKenzie River Pizza Co.  They are building one in Idaho Falls but it taking forever to open.  So we headed south to go to the one that has just been built there. We became fans when our daughter was going to school in Montana. You can't get a good pizza around here so I was so excited when I heard they were going to build a location here.

While waiting for our food.  I drew this woman in a small notebook I carry in my purse.

Then I put some watercolor on her.

Here is the pizza I had. Alfredo sauce, spinach, fresh tomato and chicken, it was so good.

They gave us a free dessert, that is red velvet cake with creame inside.  Its too bad I had to share.

Afterwards I spent the night with an old favorite.  That's Humphrey Bogart with the Maltese Falcon.  Actually my cinema group met at my house for a showing of the 1941 classic. I love vintage films and this is one of the best. I watched this so many times as a kid with my parents, it reminded me of them so much. Good memories and fun times.

Monoprinting with Glass

I've been doing my exercises for my painting class with Pauline Agnew today.  We are working on monoprinting with a glass plate and then adding ink on top of the print.

It was an interesting exercise that I need tons more practice to master. We painted with watercolor paints, pulled off the print and then used india ink and other inks on top.  This class is making me grow artistically in ways I could not imagine. I haven't shared everything, but its all been great. We have 2 more weeks so I wonder what I'll be doing next.

Then we did monoprints with shapes and different inks and so forth. I pulled the following prints.

 

This is quite a bit fun. Like working with a gelli print but a little different. I am linking to Art Everyday Month and Paint Party Friday
