I enjoyed Christy Tomlinson‘s Behind the Art workshop so much and I’m excited to share some of my canvases with you. The class was chock full of videos about what supplies Christy uses and, even better, how she uses them in her art. She talked about markers and pens, stamps and rub ons, adhesives, paints, stencils, and so so so much more. Over 5 weeks, Christy guided us in starting several canvases with different types of backgrounds. You’ll see as I share more soon, but do check out the link above if you are in any way as in love with all these supply goodies as I am.
For this canvas, we divided it into grass and sky colors with a background of tissue paper and washi tapes.
Then we added the house and fun details, finishing it off with rub ons and doodles.
And here’s the final result:
This is my favorite canvas from the class and I put it in our living room so I can see it often and feel good looking at it. 🙂

Love how this turned out Naomi! The colors and textures are perfect. I really enjoyed Christy’s LB lesson. Would love to do a whole class with her.
Thanks, Stacie! Christy is a very fun teacher. She talks about everything under the sun and is very funny.
It’s wonderful, Naomi. I just love Christy’s work and love seeing her influence in others!

Oh, yes, and Love is the key, isn’t it?
This is so beautiful!

I placed that key there before I had such a profound connection with that thought. Hmm. Must have been there all along and ready for uncovering. Love when that happens!
I love seeing your creations! They are always so amazing – the colors and the messages in them!
Thank you, Robyn! Now I feel motivated to make another. 🙂
Wow, that is so gorgeous. It brings me feelings of joy and happiness. The words playful and whimsical come to mind when looking at it too. Love it!
Thanks, Nicole. I’m so glad you feel those emotions when looking at it. Makes me happy!
