A Smudgy Post....

Well first off, thanks to Chris for her recent post reminding me that I had this thing.... Not that I really forgot about it, but it's not really a high priority I suppose.. anyway, I thought that I'd do a quick post on what I've been doing for the last 4 weeks..

SMUDGE PAINTING! And I LOVE it!!! so, sending some big thanks to Jude for putting me onto the class over at http://www.digitalartacademy.com/

The class is fantastic and the teacher Scott Deardorff is also fantastic, check out some of his brilliant work here: http://pbase.com/sdfp

Ok so here is what I've done so far.. one more to go as the course finishes on Sunday, and I'm a little upset about that!

This one was my first attempt before actually gettting any instruction..

This was my next attempt of our dog Tigger (she loves picking her own fruit off the trees ;) )

And this is one of our assignments. We also have to do a little girl, but as of yet I haven't finished that one ;)

Ok, my work is no where near the best of the class, but I think they look ok, so hopefully have tempted you into checking out the class. Even if they haven't check it out anyway, oh and definitely check out Scotts pbase gallery http://pbase.com/sdfp.. you will be blown away!

Angela, as usual these are of course fabulous, and yes it was a great class too.

Lee showed me some examples of smudge painting last week whilst camping. Looks like something else I'll have to obsess about at some stage (I have a long list of stuff I plan to become obsessed with before I give up and start just lying about in a coffin).

Tigger has come up really well!
