Summer of Color

So I am new to blogging but I have found some great artists who blog so I have decided to join in so I can participate in their pages and possibly expand my own.  Please excuse any mistakes or changes throughout this blog as I work on learning all the ins and outs.

So starting right now an amazing woman named Kristin (not me, a different amazing Kristin ;) ) is doing a 10-week program called Summer of Color! Each week she provides a prompt and participants can work their magic with that. I am so excited to start.  She asked what mediums we would be using and I have a love of so many I'm not sure what to choose.  I love to paint with watercolors and acrylics, those two will definitely be used. I also just learned to sew so maybe that will be incorporated somewhere. Plus my wonderful boyfriend bought me a bamboo tablet for our 5 year anniversary, so this may be my chance to break it in :-D I have so many ideas!

I think for the first project I will start with watercolors.  I have recently learned some new techniques I am eager to try out.  Should be interesting!

For anyone who would like to participate in the Summer of Color, visit the link and check it out. The more the merrier! :)  Summer of Color
