Here I have created a beautiful set of pastel hearts, decorated them with pencil swirls and designs and added it to a wonderful quote written about Art by Helen Keller. This I included in one of my calligraphy pieces that I had received grant funding awarded from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

There is always more that you can do with a "Smudge!"
Take a peak at my primary website varyCarol.com to read more about this exciting project.

In my classes I provide the template, and an idea on how to create the composition. Everyone has a difference preference in color choices and it is exciting to see what colors my students pick. Everyone has a different touch and way of smudging, some harder and others softer, more gentle, that is also exciting to see. All things are fun with a Smudge!
