Children's Summer Art Camp/ Creativity

It is official...the first Art Camp of the summer is underway!
I love having time with creative little persons! They get so excited and truely are fearless.
It's also a great reason to get some painting done if I make it in early. This summer's theme is creativity...let's try something different! We will be glazing and doing palette knife paintings. I just started my first painting ( not practise) and lovng the results. If anything can loosen us up it will be painting with a knife! I'm mixing gel medium and molding paste together, then adding color. I'm collecting a basket full of utentsils to use to spread this super fast drying goop. Do you know of any really good palette knife painters???
I am also trying out a new camera- a Lumix from Panasonic...so far so good. NOW I have to go read the manual. It's online so my head may be nodding soon. I think I'm gonna love the 14x zoom......

KIDS ART MURAL!

.We had a hot sunny day, with lots of mosquitoes! BUT......what talented  young artists! We prepared a canvas for the kids to paint on and were one of five activities for Kidsday at Art in the Garden.
Ava and Sydney were our young volunteers and they were fantastic. Many thanks to Marg, Jeannette and Debbie for all the help.
