The portion we were working on this month was to add tissue paper to an illustration board or canvas and then paint it. The workshop leader was so smart and decided to break this into three weekly parts to… Continue reading Canvas with Tissue Paper
While I am working my way through several art books for the Triple Eight Challenge for 2008, I have taken a month off most of these workings. I spent most of March honing my photography skills.

First, I was annoyed that the debate was set to start at 9 pm. I had not slept well the night before and was really hoping to be asleep by 10 pm.
