Scavenger Hunt Sunday

For this week's SHS challenge, I decided to share what's inside my demo sketchpad:

Blank Space
. . . a blank page of a notebook or sketchpad excites me because this is my diary in visual form! I started drawing since I was 3 years old and sharing my techniques with others! I did not expect that years after, in whatever I do, I am always requested to design and facilitate workshops for kids and adults which is now my passion!

Complementary/Triadic
I try to spike up the boring color wheel routine by making students do a mandala type of design and integrating the primary colors and blending them to create other colors! A fun way to learn and understand how colors work . . . and discovering another person's creative circle!

Black and White
I love the strength of monochromes. And some of the best works I've seen are those in neutral shades which was the reason I mounted annual exhibitions of works in black and white from sculptural pieces, paintings, prints, photographs, ceramics, objects and installations.

Landscape
I designed this easy one-hour session on landscape painting which was everybody's favorite. A dot in the middle situates the distance and where all the elements find their balance. A great easy and fun way to understand perspective, tonal values, and the harmonies in the cool tones.

Food
The best way to teach primary colors using acrylic paints in less than 2 hours. All the colors here were blended using red, yellow and blue and white!
