Things like that are so scary, but also so worth it. <br /><br />I love your motto! :)Anne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-90101772088891755382016-08-22T12:57:33.861-05:002016-08-22T12:57:33.861-05:00Thank you, Simone.

I brought a book of mushrooms from around the world home from the library and have been studying it for ideas of different colors and shapes.<br /><br />I'm not used to the texture of gouache and the way it reacts with water and the paper. The consistency takes some getting used to, at least for me.<br /><br />I hope you find some fun things to do to challenge yourself, Simone and I hope your weekend was filled with creative joys. Have a great week!Anne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-9658923121064627302016-08-20T14:52:18.607-05:002016-08-20T14:52:18.607-05:00Another great post :-)
Deciding to try to sell my ...Another great post :-)<br />Deciding to try to sell my flowers at the market was my step out of my comfort zone. I did not know anyone, or did I know how the market would work. I took that step, so glad I did. I remember how afraid I was that first Friday market. Wondering if anyone would like my flowers. Wondering if the other vendors would like me, would we be friends?<br />Counting $ back ... I stink at it ... but I am getting better.<br /><br />Be Brave! My motto :-) <br />Carla from The Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107829617899979937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-84424425526083830152016-08-19T12:58:14.293-05:002016-08-19T12:58:14.293-05:00You work very well out of your comfort zone Anne a...You work very well out of your comfort zone Anne and produce some wonderful work! Your penciled mushrooms are so interesting in their shapes and choice of colours! I have never used gouache - what do you find challenging about using it? I would like to try it one day but have enough unused art items to open a small shop at the moment! I think it is good to venture out of your comfort zone from time to time and don't think I challenge myself nearly enough. Have a lovely weekend Anne. :)Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.com
