Hello Black Outline!

A productive week...the 'classroom studio' model is still working.  I progressed through my three canvasses, slowly, bit by bit.  The students are still responsive to the idea of my rounds and working independently. 

One thing that I started adding on Friday was some black outlines, borrowed from my Zora series that I finished up last Spring.  (right)

Side note....I love black outline.  Makes me think of when I was a little kid, carrying around my coloring books and a Sheds Spread tub of crayons.  I would color the pages, sequentially, page by page.  I liked to leave the pages in the book so that when I was finished I had a book of color that I created.  When I speak with other artists I am usually in the minority, sitting by listening to stories of rebellious coloring outside the lines and preferring white paper...I just sit by quietly and remember how much I love the black lines...

So, the black outline has arrived to my classroom studio.  It is slowly creeping over my largest canvas from the left and I really like the way it makes the colors 'pop'.  (shown below)  We will see where this goes...
