I was thinking of the quote below during this class.

Agatha Christie (The Orient Express), describing passenger Princess Dragomiroff: Her small toad-like face looked even yellower than the day before. She was certainly ugly, and yet, like the toad, she had eyes like jewels, dark and imperious …

This is spectacular. Great choice of image to play with! How fun!

I love the colors on this one! Blue and orange/yellow is a favorite combo of mine!

[Shelby Abrahamsen (Foxsy)]

Oooh, this is quite a transformation! I love what you have done with this to add color and texture. Lovely lovely!

Here are mine! My acrylic black and white paint were Artist’s Loft, my paint pens are Betem (would not recommend), and outlines in a Micron fineliner. The ‘sky’ on the top one is a mix of Crayola, RoseArt and Caliber washable markers smudged with a cloth.

The top on is newsprint from a German newpaper according to the back, no idea where I got it. The sailboat is from an old greeting card, the lighthouse is glossy and from a travel advertisement, the bridge is from an old Nat Geo magazine I think, and the very dapper cat is on printer paper from a newsletter from my local animal shelter. It was fun to work with the different paper textures!

I like all of them except the bridge one. That creature suffered from poor planning from the first stroke! But that’s how we learn 😀

These are great. And so much more tidy than mine!

YESSS I love how you’ve experimented and had fun with this! So many great images, and so many interpretations. You nailed it!

Glenda and Wjgravity, wow! You both did amazing! Loved the class by Rob, I just don’t seem to have the imagination for it.
