So I know today is monday and I am supposed to have a monday moodboard, BUT I just had to share with you this new series I am starting here on the blog!
It's called:
"Behind the Art with christy"
it's a "behind the camera" scene... at how I create my art.. there are no words.. no talking.. and it's all in "fast forward" mode.. but just something fun to show you a little peak into my process!
So without further debut.. here is my first Behind the Art project..
Fly Birdie Fly
it's just a fun small spring canvas.. I kinda messed around with this past weekend. Nothing fancy! kinda messy actually
the sun got kinda messy! lol
just used my own handwriting for the words.. didn't want to mess with my computer..
and really these two papers (the orange and the pink) were the whole reason for the canvas! Just saw them and wanted to use them! the orange is from my dear friend, Margie's new line! The pink is an old paper from 7 Gypsies!
So.. want to see the process? Here is a fun video.. behind the scenes looks!
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for letting me share!
Oh p.s! Week 2 of the She Art Workshopis posted in the classroom if you have signed up for the first workshop! If you haven't signed up.. you can learn more about the She Art Workshop at the top of the page! A new class starts April 11th with FULL Access! YOu can also see some of the work the current she art students have posted in the She Art Flickr Gallery HERE!

thank you so much for posting this! I learned a tremendous amount in those 10 minutes! Especially that it is fine to make a mistake!! I loved how you changed it over and over. I get stuck in fear and tend not to move ahead because I am so afraid to wreck it. I am signing up for your class, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved seeing you cover stuff up....re-paint etc...sort of gives me permission to do the same and expect it still to be beautiful! Thanks!

The video was GREAT!! I just settled back in my comfy chair with a cuppa Chai tea... and got totally relaxed watching your creative "process". The product is adorable!!
Thanks, Christy!!
Loving your workshop!! Sad to see only one week left.

That's great Christy! What was the red pen you used to outline the fence? Thanks for the inspiration today!

What fun to watch your process! That is amazing. You seriously rock :)

J'adore ce que vous faites! Timidement, j'ai fait une petite tentative; Je suis loin d'avoir votre matériel, et encore moins votre doigté, mais je réessaierai; je me suis bien amusée et le résultat me plait, c'est l'essentiel! Merci pour ce partage!

Christy...you crack me up!!!! I just finished reading your "ten things about me" and watched your video...you are an amazing artist and person! I'm taking your class right now..haven't made anything yet...time and fear (saw work from some of the classmates and it is amazing). But...I noticed on your video you changed things too when you weren't happy with them. Hopefully tomorrow I can start a canvas. Thank you for your inspiration.

These are just soooo beautiful!

Yeah - another video into how you create!! This is so tough for me. I am the math and science girl - straight lines, symmetry, etc. I just love your work and am happy with the two girls I have created so far. This is such a learning experience for me! I want to thank you for leaving a comment on the flicker gallery! That means the world to me.
