Fearless Friday, Painting Camp
CC is my painter, she absolutely loves it…
“Can I paint?”
“I wanna paint!”
“Come on Daddy, come paint with us!”
She often attracts a crowd, and before long, she has a painting class in full swing
I haven’t gotten to paint much this week, just a few quick watercolor sketches
But I have been playing with the Waterlogue app on my iPhone
It’s fast and fun
HHjr whipped up these onion rings the other night, yummmmmm
It’s fun to experiment with the different effects the filters produce
I usually use vibrant
But I do love the lines with streamlined and the cool effects with illustration
I often use Waterlogue for photos I am going to paint, it emphasizes the shapes and contrasts
Above is the reference page I used to paint Peach Pie, the top photo on the sheet is the original photo and the lower larger photo is the Waterlogue version
PicMonkey has great effects for photos too, below is the paint effect
Edge sketch
And posterize
Playing with different filters and effects for photos is great fun, non artists can paint away and artists can use the filters to help them simplify complex subjects, break down colors and tones, and experiment with different techniques
Have fun and Be Fearless!

OMG your CC is adorable! Budding talent for sure. Photo apps are something I need to explore. Thanks for the tutorial!

beware, it’s addicting! Have fun Johanne!
What a beautiful group of little artists! Jenna, when Waterlogue first came out I played with it a lot, I wasn’t blogging then. I need to play around with it again, it really is fun! Happy weekend!
It’s really fun to explore when you have some time, and you can “paint” anywhere!
CC is a living doll! She has several who joined in to paint with her. So cute! You have mad skills, my friend. Shelley’s hardest class last semester was photoshop and illustrator. Honestly she spent more time in the art department than she did on her equine science class!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
xo,
RJ
Thanks RJ, I am so thrilled they all love to paint! I still learn and discover things every time I am editing photos, a whole new world for sure, and just about as far from equine science as you can get!
I love seeing all the future talent enjoying themselves doing something creative!! I may have to play around with some of these features you showed – the effects are fabulous!!
Have fun Ann! It makes my heart sing to see them all enjoying art…
Love the kiddos and daddy painting!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My SIL really enjoys it!!
Fun for the kiddos while, and fun for Nana (or whatever their pet name is they call you) with Waterlogue!
Yes, I really can’t do any serious painting when they’re around, but I can play with Waterlogue while I’m watching them if my fingers get antsy 🙂
When I was in graduate school for early childhood education, our instructor told us if we didn’t have paint and blocks in our classroom every day, we’d be fired! Paint is so important in the development of motor/social/language and art skills!!! Good for you!!! – And the onion rings look like they’d help my hunger development!!!
I can’t believe how the boys drop their fishing poles and pick up paint brushes when we get the paint out, and talk about fearless and imaginations…so fabulous! I’m sure all the kids wanted to be in Miss Leslie Anne’s class!
Are your creations for purchase? I saw your black,grey & gold paisley placemats, just what I’ve been looking for!!
I don’t have any placemats for sale Rebecca, but I do have a ton of things in my designs available on Society 6, and on line artists store were you can order a large variety of decor and accessories. You can access my Society 6 shop with this link, http://society6.com/paintedapron
Thank you!
I hope when our little Baby Grand is old enough to hold a paint brush we can have the experience you have shared. It’s wonderful! Love the waterlogues!
I’m sure you will have a budding artist too Jeanie!
Glad you are enjoying summer!!
I love that CC’s holding her own painting class,Jenna! Too cute 😉
it melts my heart…
Such cute and busy grands! I like the paint effect that PicMonkey has. I’ll have to try that.
