What would Earth Day be without a little Eric Carle.
This artwork is inspired by The Hungry Caterpillar and us.
Earth Day!
Tag: Eric Carle
Work In Progress is Golden
I’ve never been a big fan of sunflowers, but I like big flowers. You can see more of the color and details. The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle is a wonderful read. As I finish up the magic of color, I want to pay tribute to all the color that makes me smile, laugh and carry on.
The pink and yellow makes this bloom feel like friendship. Collage you definitely hold a place in my portfolio. I always go back to Eric Carle’s work. The way he picks up a brush and paints. It’s so simple, colorful and reminds me that we are all artists. That is the goal of my work. I’m so glad the first version of The Magic of Color got deleted.
It’s a colorful world collage bloom
Not bad for a few scraps of collage paper. It’s how you put scraps together, that’s how you bloom.
In case you’re wondering, yes I added this bloom to the shop.
Pink Collage Blooms in Progress
Collage is another fun way to make art. You paint textures on paper. You let your eyes create color balance. You don’t know what it’s going to look like until it’s done. You have to trust the process. Sometimes we want to control every single detail. It’s more like all the time. That’s why I stopped sketching with pencil because if I do I start thinking perfection. This design is one of my favorites. I just made it. It was all play.
Yes that is why I started Creatively Hue. Creatively Hue is my cacoon where I can bloom. When you’re ready you just come forth open up your wings like the hungray caterpillar and flutter. Every day there are more of you and I can’t thank you enough. If you aren’t a subscriber then please subscribe. There’s poetry. Fun blooms,always. Books and so much more. Your best work is waiting!
My Happy Place
Today I painted for the first tme in days! It has been a week, a certain vaccinne is to blame. I got out my paint. I painted some more tulips, heart shapes and orange tones. It felt so free. It felt so good. I know to the non- painter or creative it may seem weird but painitng, creating and flying through ideas is what I do. Oh and being able to form a career is my dream come true!
Still prefer the beauties I painted last week.
With the leftover paint, I painted tissue paper. Yes in honor of Eric Carle. My fun tool box is because of him. After watching the Mr. Rogers video I had to paint some. How could I not?
Do you collage?
Eric Carle’s Collage
He’s why I got this idea to build a fun tool box. The idea of a piece of rug creating texture that sparks my curiosity is happiness. I should buy some tissue paper. I could do mosaics like this and…
One of my favorites. I worked on this Peacock for a few days. I painted the texture with a small flat tree gumball. My inspriation was Eric Carle. I wanted to use color and texture to show the wonderful pattern and color in this world. I painted several texture papers. Then let my eyes choose the color scheme. Good job Thank you for subscribing.
Eric Carle best days ever!
I am writing a list of wants. I have a page. I will never forget my RSP class. EVER! We created and it was amazing. I know they are not going to read this. I still have to share my memories. It is always good to release good vibes of gratitude. Maybe others are looking for a fun creative project too. One of my wants is to do this again. I will.
Textures + Thanks a Bunch
These are just a few of my textures. I’m going to go watch some videos on Eric Carle inspired textures. I believe I will be illustrating the book collage style. I’m not sure how I got started with all of this but I did. I’ve been doing some collage lettering and it has been fun. Which brings me to a huge thanks. I’m thankful for my upcoming assignment. I’m thankful for all of the posts that have inspired ideas and provide me with the creative environment that I need. Especially the kiddos at Lee. Bless them all! I’m thankfoul for my tribe. (You) Thanks for reading and hopefully creating with me. In a few weeks I’ll be emailing a teaser for the book. Are you a subscriber?
Eric Carle Collage Art
It’s amazing what a group of students can do with a little water, paper, watercolor paint and a paint brush.
First step is to create awesome textures…
Mission accomplished!
I ‘ll never forget the lessons I learned. The biggest is that painting, creating and encouraging others to embrace their masterpiece is… my world.
Live your story is all about embracing your style, tapping into that artist within. AND that’s what painting with these kids has been about.
I sure do feel like anything is possible…
