I’ve always liked painting and drawing, but it’s been long time since I’ve had the chance to paint anything. So, I was very excited to participate in this event!
I was debating between painting on a picture frame or a small canvass when I remembered my sculpture from the clay event at the Johnson Museum. I had wanted to paint it, and this was the perfect opportunity. I quickly returned with my whale-shaped mug and picked out a bunch of blue paint.
I painted the outside dark blue, and on the inside, I painted swirls in different shades of blue and purple. It was very fun and very relaxing! I didn’t want to finish, so I just kept painting a new design over each previous one.
After the mug dried, I filled it with seashells and put it on the windowsill.
Wow! That looks so good. I also attended the Johson mug-making event, but unfortunately, I had to throw mine out as it fell apart as soon as I got home. I would have loved to paint it the way you did. Your piece is so unique. Good job!
It looks so great! I wish I could have attended both of those events just because of how connected they could have been.
