Painting Birds on Maidstone Beach

Thank you to everyone who joined me for my spontaneous live today! While my husband and younger son are working on a project outside, I’m keeping busy with some creative projects of my own indoors. I’ve set up at the old barn table with my paints and all the supplies I have out here. It’s sunny and windy on Long Island—beautiful, but not exactly ideal for painting outside.

They are building a rack for my son, Theo's clothes. We have open studios this weekend, and he needed something to display his work. I hope some of you can visit us! (link below)

Come visit me and Theo next weekend at DUMBO Open Studios!

Yesterdays project: I made my boys into small paper dolls, along with some basic “starter pack” accessories. Here is a video that shares the process:

And today I am painting in my sketchbook. Here is the finished painting I worked on in the live video above:

Supplies used:

• Derwent Inktense Paints, 24 set palette
• Caran D’Ache NeoArt wax oil pastels (resistant to water) and Neocolor II pastels (watersoluble)
• Forest Black Platinum ink (that is not as waterproof as I thought it would be)
Note that I referred to this as “carbon” ink but I meant to say the brand “Platinum”.
• Faber Castell Pitt graphite pencil in 14B

Happy end of Passover and Easter to all those who celebrate.

Thank you
