The kids created these AWESOME paper collage cats in class over the past two weeks. It was a big project and they did GREAT!!! But Lincoln refused to be seen with so many “cats”! LOL

Creating with paper is fun! Here is the Sunflower that I started at the Capon Springs retreat. I love the many different papers that make up the petals.

A few weeks ago we experimented with multi-media collage work at The Studio. Boy was it fun. We used burlap panels, paint, Sharpies and beautiful scrapbook papers along with ModPodge to create these simple but lovely animal works of art. The kids did great in their class with these and I enjoyed the ones I did too! Super fun.(We did some cute dogs a few weeks ago with Sophia’s private lesson too and you can see that here.) I see a Paint Party for adults doing something like this coming soon.

Painting like Cezanne
Yesterday we studied Cezanne at Art Camp and painted Apples & Pear, a still life, just like Cezanne’s. And these kids are AMAZING! Look at what a great job they all did.

Collage Bird
And when we had a few extra minutes at the end of Monday and Tuesdays sessions we put it to good use and created a collage painting of this little bird. Beautiful!

Relay for Life Sample Painting
Last night I was invited by the organizers of the “Relay for Life” committee to do a demonstration painting for their kick-off meeting. Their theme this year is “Paint Your World Purple”. So I did a demo of what our mountains would look like purple. Here is the sample painting I did for them. After the demo we invited people to paint with paper and create an inspirational piece to take with them. Here are some of the wonderful collages they created.

Initials are very popular now. So the last two days I worked up these canvas with initials. The K has torn paper over a 12×12 canvas. The N has a sheet of paper untorn over a 6×6 canvas. They are both fun to do. We will be having a class soon at The Studio for anyone who wants to give it a try. (Watch for the date coming soon.) These would make really nice Christmas gifts! UPDATE: We now have dates for the class to make these. Join us on Friday, Dec 5th at 11 am or Tuesday Dec 9th at 6:30 pm. Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to register.

Thursday evenings Adult Art Class was so much fun. Joy finished up a beautiful painting of a tree that she had been working on for a few weeks and Linda was game to try a “Painting with Paper” piece. The beach scene with an elephant, yes elephant, turned out GREAT!
Good job ladies! ANd thanks for the laughs.
