I designed the insect from the seed at the bottom right on the left page

Insect done in 2 pencil crayon colours, and then the flower was developed from the insect

India ink drawings showing graphic symbols for a TREE

India ink drawings of ANIMALS - using the ink in different strokes

Insects cut out of painted paper. In the right one I overlaid the red over the dark blue

Static vs Dynamic - showing the difference between straight and curved shapes (using cut paper)

Design for a garden, showing insects and a flower and a fountain (cut paper stuck on painted old book page)

Flowers - acrylic paint on non-soluble wax crayon covered with thin white acrylic

Forest - same technique. But I left a lot of background showing through

Forest - same technique. But started with abstract shapes and built the forest from them

Transfer technique - using oil pastel on face down sheet and drawing on it with pencil, and then adding colour

Transfer technique - acrylic is applied one line at a time on left, and paper is then folded over with each line

I cut a stencil, then painted the body using it. I then added the head with ink and crayons

I cut a silhouette of a body (dark purple), then cut it in half, and made 2 creatures with crayons and ink

I joined 2 different drawings to make a new image with a new meaning

Dear Jesus. I want to thank you very much for a fantastic course. You taught us so many wonderful techniques. I don't have oils so I substituted with acrylics. I also never really do plant imagery, so that was a real challenge for me. I enjoyed the cut out exercises enormously, and I really liked making the forest. And the Cut in Half figure exercise was huge fun. I am definitely going to keep working in my notebook. So thank you for introducing me to all these new things. Looking forward to another course with you! Best wishes, Sandi
