Alix does She Art

It's time to take another look at Alix's little bit of She Art...

Hi everyone, its Alix here!

Just for fun i thought i'd share a few paintings i've done following on from Christy Tomlinson's She Art painting class which i took last year.  If you haven't taken this class i highly recommend it...you can see all the info on it here :0)

Now, i am no painter...and i can't draw for toffee...mmmm toffee...but i can do this style of mixed media artwork...and so can you!!  Christy is so sweet and takes you through baby steps with lots of video tutorials...its as easy as painting by numbers when you know how.  i'm slowly working through my friends immortalising them one at a time...

here is my friend Pippa...who is a real painter :0)

notice how the background is painted and then the girl is paper pieced over the background using scrapping scraps...and then painted over to help her meld into the artwork...

  

notice how there are lots of details...some are doodling...and some are rubons...both are super cute :0)

and notice how there are dimensional elements too...like these pearls...all in all the idea is to use all sorts of media...can you spot the stamping on this girl's legs?  

...and don't forget you can have *he* art too...this one is me and his Nibs ;0)

you can even have religious icons if you're so inclined!!  please forgive me...this is my first ever *face*...i know its far, far from perfect...but i sort of like her! :0)

so what are you waiting for...get out your scraps and some paints...you've got nothing to lose...if you don't like it...you can just paint over it!!  *genius*
