got paint?

I‘m loving my new class with Emily Falconbridge at BPS.  Our homework for the first week of class was a variety of techniques we applied to a 6×6 sized art journal.  I lifted my cover right from Emily’s art journal.  It’s super easy & a cool technique.  glue tissue paper on chipboard & gesso.  With title in place & gesso dry, apply acrylic paint.  Viola!  the acrylic finish is a matte gray, the sheen in the picture is not there irl.  I wanted to get my pictures shot before getting dinner going so paint still had some wetter spots.  I’m excited to be in this class, ‘cuz I think it will open a totally new horizon for me, but the funniest thing is that none of it is really foreign to me.  It’s things I know in concept or could have discovered by trial & error, but I need a class like this to formalize it & give me the push to do it.  Anyway I’m totally motivated and inspired.  Here is my homework for the week:

Besides learning that this is totally fun & doable, I also learned I need more brushes and acrylic paint in the yellow/orange and tourquoise/aqua families.  guess where I’m going tomorrow?
