Unicorn Watercolor Picture

OK,I admit it ... I think I am obsessed with the unicorn digital image from my Kit And Clowder class.   Today I decided I had to try it with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens.   I am beyond pleased with the results.  

The horn was done with a gold gel pen.   Then I took Silver Sparkle Silk and put it over the mane and the horn to add some sparkle and shine.  

This one I believe I will frame and keep along with the color pencil one I did using the Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils.

Each one has its own unique look.

Hope you find time to do some creating today.

Unicorn Card

I've taken a few coloring classes on-line the last few months.   One of the classes (Kit And Clowder) was to to color in a unicorn or horse using their digital stamped image.   The mane was done in rainbow colors.   I actually finished the mane a few weeks ago and then set it aside.   Not sure why.

On Sunday morning, I just couldn't sleep so got up and started working on finishing my unicorn using my Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils.   I am pleased with the results.   The horn of the unicorn is actually gold/bronze with FSJ Sparkle Silk over the top.  It doesn't show up in the photo though.

Not sure if I will make this into a card or frame it as is.   Undecided at this point.   Almost all of my creations are given to others.   Not very often do I kept something I have made.   

Finishing this image sparked additional motivation to create more so I spent many hours on Sunday creating other images/cards.   It was a fun and creative day.

More Marble Swirl Creations/Cards

I worked some more with the Marble Swirl Stamp set from Catherine Pooler.   There is still a lingering odor to it (it's photopolymer), but not as bad as when it was brand new.

At Last - The Fairy is Completed - Kit And Clowder Class

Oh my gosh, I am so excited.   I finished coloring the fairy from the December class of Kit and Clowder.  Pleased with the results, but going to try a different type of coloring paper for my next project.   Alyce gives many suggestions on her website, I used a pencil paper I had here.    Just a reminder that Kit and Clowder has both classes for markers and pencils and offers conversion sheets for many of the brands. 

The fairy is a digital stamp image from Connie Fong
I did the coloring myself.

Happy New Year - Progress on my Fairy - Kit And Clowder On-line Class

Happy New Year!!!   May your new year be filled with many blessings.

I've been working on my on-line class with Kit And Clowder (they offer free ones too).   The December class is a fairy.   Here's my progress on her so far.   Almost done.   Truly enjoying the classes. 

This is the first time I have worked with skin and hair coloring.   Very pleased too with how her eyes turned out.

Seems impossible that I am almost completed with this class.   Just have the crystals left.   I need to work more with the background blending, but I am happy with my first try here.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Learning to Use Color Pencils Using a Kit And Clowder On-lIne Class

I enjoy coloring with pencils, markers, crayons etc.   It is soothing and fun.   However, I have never taken any classes UNTIL NOW!   I wanted to learn more about blending, shading, and so much more.

First I want to share with you my class project so far, and then I will give you the link for the classes in case you want to sign up too.   Kit and Clowder has classes for both pencils and markers.   They have a conversion sheet so you can determine which color is needed for your project using the ones you have.   My pencils are Faber-Castell Polychromos brand, but there are many other options.

    If you sign up, please say that I (Mary Director) referred you.   It will give me a $5 AUD refund to my PayPal Account which converts today to about $3.50 USD.
   UPDATE:   12/23/2018   I just got my first referral.   Kit & Clowder refunded the $5 AUD not only to me but to the person who gave me as the referral!!!
   
Classes run about $15 USD a month with the digital image/digital stamp costing about $3 to $5 USD per month.    This month we also received a free class mid-month for being a member of class.    They have individual classes and monthly subscription.   The fairy above is the monthly subscription class.

There are also some free classes you can sign up for.   Don't miss out on those either.  

There are written directions and videos for the monthly classes.   The videos are easy to understand and loaded with wonderful directions and tips.    I play mine through my iPad so that I can watch it in my craft area and pause/go back/replay if needed.

I highly recommend this website and the classes.
