Fearless Friday, with Fearless Guest Artist CC
These abstract watercolors were painted by my granddaughter CC
when she was 3 years old
She was definitely fearless!
These paintings then inspired me to create Fearless Friday
with an art tutorial as a regular weekly feature
CC is now 10 and she is still loving art
and fearlessly drawing and painting
She spent a couple of days with me this week
so I thought it would be fun to “interview” her
and share her process with you
“CC, when you sit down to paint
how do you decide what you want to paint?” I asked
“Well,” she said, “I think about what I like
The other day I was thinking about my dog Ben so I painted him
Today I’m thinking about cookies
so I am going to paint this snack bag of Chips Ahoy!”
She used my mini fan to dry her layers of paint
These hand held personal fans are great for using with watercolors
you can pick one up from Amazon here
She also has an online Art shop with items printed with her artwork,
very similar to my Society 6 Shop
The website is Artsonia
It is affiliated with her school to promote children’s artwork
Whenever an item is sold 20% of the profits
are donated back to her school
I have a sketchbook {above} and a mug {below}
If you look very closely at the mug,
the abstract design has a hidden message!
Her whole class was assigned to design their name this way,
it is not her original idea~
I still think it’s super creative!
The center diamond has a circle of “C”s,
the next larger diamond has a border of “H”s
followed by a circle of “A”s
Then a large diamond of “R”s, then slightly smaller “L”s
Then a diagonal of smaller hot pink “O”s
Then tiny “T”s and very small “E”s
which spells out her name, Charlotte!
I love this colorful abstract too~
I hope she continues to love to create!
Have fun with your art like CC does and
Be Fearless!

This is just adorable and I’m so glad you are able to do art with her — and that she is loving it. Fabulous!
We had so much fun, she loved being “the teacher!”
Jenna, this warms my heart so much. I just love that Charlotte has been so influenced by your talents and creativity that she is at the age of ten an artist! Her abstract name design is amazing. Please convey to CC that I am impressed with her art work and her talent! Have fun with your family at the beach, Jenna 🇺🇸♥️🤍💙🇺🇸
Thanks Pam, it’s been so much fun to paint with her and see her enjoy it so much.
I think the ability to do art is definitely an inherited trait. It is wonderful that her school encourages the arts.
Yes, I agree and so many schools aren’t supporting the arts these days. Thanks Karen~
Awww Miss CC is just adorable and so talented like her grandmother. I’m impressed that she has her own online shop. Great job, CC ❤️

Ha Jenna, you have passed on your passion for art to CC and that is absolutely wonderful to see. Her artwork is amazing and I hope she continues with it. Love the “Charlotte” abstract drawing. It sounds like you had a lot of fun together!
Thank you Kim, it makes my heart sing that she is an art lover! I adore the Charlotte mug she gave me ❤️
I love this interview showing her thought process as she creates. Kudos to her school for encouraging creativity!
