Getting our paint on!

This last Thursday I was able to join in on some fun down at this art studio in Sellwood.  The Loaded Brush!
The theme for the night was Monet's Water Lillies. Yes, we got to paint them!

 The first step was to cover the whole canvas with white blues and purple... this will be the water....

 then you add in the lilly pads.... mine kind of started out looking like eyes...

but after some highlights and shading it started to take shape....

 And here we are sharing our masterpieces!!!

here are some more... that I would love to try painting!

until the next time.... PAINT on everyone!!!
