MargaretParticipantI tried to draw an orchid in a pot using the markings to create some three-dimensionality. It was not a roaring success, but that was before I listened to the chiaroscuro lesson, which made sense of the marks for me. Now I can see how to work with the hatchings, scribbles, etc. to create depth. BTW, can anyone tell me how to get my photos from my google phone transferred here? I'm android, not Mac.in reply to: Illustrating the 3D World #871321

MargaretParticipantI'm taking this journaling course to reconnect with my writing life and to create more vivid, personal memories when my husband and I travel. I want color incorporated in my journal, which is now computer/word oriented, and though I have had little training in drawing and was frustrated with a watercolor course I took years ago, this course seemed perfect for trying out mixed media in a private space, with pinpointed drawing and painting techniques. I'm hopeful this will become a spark for creative growth, and already I'm excited by the course content. Things that spoke to me in this first lesson are Holly's two-sided explorations with nature and with art techniques, and her discussions and drawing/memories of her "encounters" with mushrooms, pine cones, birds, etc. I also loved Liz's journal overall--it's looseness in form but kind of chatty quality which is very personable--and I especially responded to her reminder that even unfinished sketches have memories associated with them. I can see that if I catch the habit, it will be for all seasons, and not just the special circumstance of travel.in reply to: Style Your Journal Your Way #870134
