Paint Party Friday... CareFREE Fridays! (and Playing with Papers) Wrap-Up


For the past 9 Fridays I have offered FREE downloadable collage papers on my blog (no strings attached).  In total I painted 48 (yep, 4 dozen!) papers for you to use in your art!  If you missed any of the papers you can find them here.


In addition to the papers I created tutorials to go with each set of papers...


*You can see what I did with last weeks FREE collage papers here.*

(You can find the full list of past projects here.)

I have had lots of fun painting and playing with papers this summer, but now it's time to get back to my regular drawing and painting (I am ready, ready, ready)!

I already have an old cupboard door sanded and gessoed just waiting for a mixed media painting using the scraps from the papers I printed for my projects this summer... Stay tuned to see the results!

Please don't forget to stop by Paint Party Friday to see what sorts of painting goodness my friends have going on this week!
