A trip down memory lane


A trip back in time to when I painted almost nothing but roses! I just wanted to try something a little quicker tonight and see if I retained any of my movie editing skills. I did.....somewhat! I do have to add that I've gotten a little rusty in my rose designs! Good grief......but it was quick and it was a piece of cardboard so I guess it's close enough for now.

It still took me awhile and I have NOTHING fancy on my videos, but here it is :)

  2. OMG--this is how I started too!! These are great--roses were always the toughies. Actually, I started with D. Dewberry's one stroke--is that still as popular as it use to be?

  3. Thanks Micki and Diane!
    Diane, yes.....I was into One Stroke too. I actually became certified and taught for 4-5 years :) Were you an OSCI too???????

  6. How do you mount your camera? It looks like its right over your shoulder. I'm impressed. Lovely artwork, too.

  7. Thanks everyone....Diana, the camera is on a tripod actually to my side and more in front of my work space but when editing I just select the option to rotate so it's not actually an upside down view as it's shot:)
    I didn't know I could do that and that's partly what kept me from ever setting something up and trying to record. It's actually fun!

  8. Darla this is beautiful! And I had wondered if it was the one stroke technique! You make it look so easy! I have never tried flowers.

    Love the pale pretty colors you used in this one!

    Great job with the video! :)

    Thanks for your comment on my sketch! :)

  10. WOW ... those roses take me back to the OS days on e-circles (now defunct) and the OS Mamma list on Yahoo (now defunct). If it wasn't for OS, I doubt I'd be painting!!!
