Colorful Tiger


I think I've finally discovered the secret to painting without making mud: Use your fingers. Also use very little water. I normally wouldn't consider this "my style" (part of me dislikes cuteness), if I even have a style. I haven't figured out what that is yet. But I do know that I'm incredibly drawn to art with a lot of messy, accidental color. If what you're drawn to is any indication of what you're capable of, or what your style might be, then I want to figure out how to put a lot more messy, grungy color in my artwork. I had a lot of fun creating this, and very little self-criticism, which often comes up pretty strongly when I use paint.

Thanks to Juliette Crane, creator of this week's Life Book lesson.

(Can I use the ground for the summer of color challenge? Heh. It looks a little like mint chocolate chip.)

  1. I love your amimal totem. Have you ever done a Suzi Blu course? Sounds as if you might like her style, she loves loose and drippy. I have taken a few of her classes and enjoyed them all.
