loving qualities of your significant other.................

make a piece of art or drawing that represents all the loving qualities of your significant other was the challenge this week from Laura McHugh West.....I must say I really wasn't loving it......what to do??? how to do it....and do I want to share this info with others....?

well its late on Sunday night and I had a very busy and long week...I knew I had to come up with something....and didn't want to disappoint Laura....So I put my mind to it and got to work on  my challenge...
.



I am taking a lettering class called Letter Love with Joanne Sharpe and I am truly loving it and thought that this would be the perfect project to put my new lettering skills to use.....


Joanne is an excellent teacher and has so many videos for you to follow.....she makes what looks hard very easy...


because this months challenge is all about  LOVE I  decided to incorporate hearts in my design instead of flowers....I am following along as Joanne is demonstrating her fabulous technique.....


I made a mistake and didn't like some of the lettering so I started again..... I started to doodle along the side and make my lines....for which the type would later sit....


I was enjoying the process....I had jotted down my words to describe my husbands loving qualities....
and started filling in the words on the lines.....


using a black sharpie marker I filled the page with words and doodles.....
now to add some color...I took out my favorite supplies
love these water color crayons.....
and my water pens......
and my new copic pens........so I filled in the page with watercolor crayons and markers.....
I realized that I wrote Caring twice......but my hubby is very caring so its fine.....I loved how it came out and want to recommend Joanne's class...check it out here.....  


I must say I learned a few things completing this challenge...First that I have a very caring and kind Husband and I am so lucky.....and I appreciate all the things he does to let me keep learning, playing and creating art....he is always helping around the house so that I can create and I truly appreciate that.....Love Him!!!!

I also learned that the things you may dread may turn out to be not as bad as you thought, and if you put your mind to it you may enjoy the process.....so thanks to My Hubby, Laura McHugh West, and  Joanne Sharpe... 

Happy Valentines Day... xoxox
