My Color is Beautiful - Blog Hop Day - Amanda Trought

I would like to thank Tiare Smith for kicking off the blog hop for My Color is Beautiful Art 2015 Workshop. Tiare has brought together a team of inspiring creatives of which I have been asked to contribute - no pressure then!  I can't tell you how excited I am to be taking part, this is my first online teaching session, and I have a lot of exciting things to share with you as part of my lesson. 

What you will cover in my lesson!

I am excited to get you working with paints, ephemera, stencils, stamps, and we will be working on canvas using mixed media techniques to celebrate who we are, you will select your favorite colours, do bit of journalling and play with stamps and stencils as the foundation and create an image. We will be then pull out of the foundation an image and build on it using color and finish off by embellishing with beads, jewelry, and stitching,  We will be creating many layers of beautiful color that dances off the page.

Blessings

I have been in quite a reflective mood and thought it would be a good idea to think about blessings, recognising and appreciating those things that have been a blessing to me.  I think it is probably something we should do on a regular basis, just to remind ourselves....

5 things I feel blessed about...

1. Relationships with family and friends, the support, laughter, and inspiration...
2. My mother - whilst she has dementia, she is still holding on to life, she has a sense of humour and a youthful quality about her life...
3. Discovering my passion was art, stepping out of my comfort zone and pursuing my passion, and being able to take the steps to being a mixed media artist....
4. New found friends...my journey as an artist has brought me into contact with so many talented artists and creative individuals, it has been a blessing and every day there is something of themselves shared that is inspiring and motivating....

5. My faith and relationship with God...I am reminded that we are here but for his grace.  My faith enables me to continually step out of the box and even the boat on occasion...If you get a chance check out some of the other participants on the A-Z Challenge, be inspired!...be blessed!
