Nope, just Monday. But Monday nights are fun around here. Dad plays in a weekly basketball game, and we girls get busy with the art supplies. And tonight we were inspired by the new weekly art projects posted on one of my favorite blogs, Bloesem Kids. Each week there will be new projects posted, and so far the first one was a wild success. So we figured out what a landscape was, talked a little about foreground, middle ground and background, and then dug into this book to “hunt” for examples…
Landscapes abound in these pages, many with tiny castles in the background and boistrous equine activity in the foreground. It was kind of hard to woo her away from the book and to the table but we got there.
Tearing of tissue insued, and the layering began, one sheet of acetate on another. Good times at the girls’ night.
E – That is some beautiful tissue work! Very nice layering 🙂
