Oh my… what a busy time… new projects to paint, commissions to finish, deadlines for magazines… and a new Decorative Painting Zoom Class: “Mr. Chilly Mittens” for Artful Webinars<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the past few months have been a kind of rollercoaster, I didn\u2019t want to leave my teaching behind! I had to \u201csqueeze\u201d myself here and there, but I eventually made it through \ud83d\ude0a
Teaching for Artful Webinars is always a pleasure and knowing that some students are coming back to my classes makes me really happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zoom<\/figure>
\n

As usual, I must tell you the truth\u2026 I was struggling a bit with Mr. Chilly Mittens\u2026
I really liked how it turned out, but I spent over a week thinking about the name of the project and… nothing… no ideas. And I had to hurry up because the Decorative Painting Zoom class was close!
Then I told to myself: \u201cwhy not asking for some help?\u201d I asked and, thanks to all the comments I received on Facebook, I had many suggestions. So, with a Mr. Mittens and a Chilly Mittens, I had a Mr. Chilly Mittens<\/strong> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day of the class I was a bit nervous because students had to prep the canvas on their own and creating a textured background<\/a> and laying down the color<\/a> could be a little challenging the first time, but they turned out to be all wonderful!
Teaching this Decorative Painting Zoom Class has been really interesting, mainly because it was a new thing for everybody!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The textured background technique<\/a> is something I actually came up with by chance. I bought a fan brush some years ago, but I never found the right way to use it. I tried a couple of times, but no good results, so I had this nice fan brush that was staying in my brush carrier… looking at me like \u201cwell… you still haven\u2019t found a way to use me, have you?\u201d
I have always been fascinated by textured and the contrast between shades and highlights that can be created just by having an irregular surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it takes a lot of work before coming up with something I like, but not that day. I had some gesso, I looked at my fan brush and I combined the two things. (See the tutorial here<\/a>)
And many new projects came out from that attempt: Summer Memories,<\/a> Purple Beauty,<\/a> Welcome Spring,<\/a> Winter Wonder,<\/a> Fall in Love,<\/a> Mr. Chilly Mittens. Oh yes, there are also 2 Free Patterns: My Flower of Hope<\/a> and Snowmen are Kisses from Heaven.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well??? Are you ready to paint your own Mr. Chilly Mittens???
The pattern with step-by-step instructions is available on the SHOP<\/a> section!
Have fun painting!
