Week 5- Airbrushed fish bowl

Although I love living in Wisconsin, I sometimes think I am living in the wrong part of the country. Since I learned to scuba dive in 1992, I have had fish running through my mind. I dream about diving, talk about diving and my paintings are usually of the underwater persuasion.

When told to buy a piece of glass for a project in airbrush class, I unconsciously bought a fish bowl !! This is what I ended up doing with it :

It glows beautifully with a small candle placed inside.

Airbrush class....week 5

Well, I would really have liked for you to see my project from this week's class, but I wasn't finished with it yet. We have now graduated to working on glass. I have a round shaped clear fishbowl........and you guessed it ! I'm airbrushing an underwater scene !! Fishes swimming in an aqua ocean, shaded in ultramarine blue and yellow seaweed.
I hope to have it posted by next week.

We have decided to extend the 6 week schedule for 2 more weeks.......8 classes in all.

Airbrush Class....Week 4 projects

And here are today's projects.

The one on the right is a t-shirt, but I couldnt get the whole thing on my scanner, so just use your imagination. I'm not quite ready to take over the airbrush booth at Great America just yet, but I have definitely improved since week 1 !!

Airbrushing is great fun !

There are now 6 of us in the airbrush class. We are taking this through Antioch Fine Arts Foundation, a neighboring town's art organization that I am a member of.

I forgot to post last weeks projects: (Sept22, ...week 3 of airbrush class). So here they are:

Air Brushing.....how fun !!!

As I mentioned before, I started an airbrush class. I want to try to add some different elements to my paintings, just for the fun of it, so I thought airbrushing might be what I'm looking for.

Here is what I did on my first class.........Just trying to get a feel for the airbrush

Now here is what I did this week........I'm improving !!!
