Sister Cahoon & Sister Ferrin

This was Sister Ferrin's first time to paint, and she did a great job.

Some day I'll actually remember what this is called, but it's a great technique for a first-time painter. You can paint wet into dry or wet-on-wet. You just start with three primaries; paint small amount of one color, then let another color bleed into it. It's a good way to teach about charging color, learn to control the amount of water you use, and decide which you like best. Sister Cahoon went for the bold look, and Sister Ferrin opted for a more subtle look, but they both looked great. Recognize the Young Women's symbol? It's a nice project for the YW program.

Missionary Christmas Cards

Here are some of our favorite missionaries, Sister Holbrook (now a civilian), and Sister Cahoon right before Sister H. left to go home. They wanted to have a last art fling. Sister H. did one of a sister missionary preaching to the birds; Sis.C's was of a snowman teacher, because both her parents are teachers.

It's great fun to paint with the missionaries, something I've done off and on for about two years.
