I am currently taking an online class from Cat Bennett called, Making Art A Practice: In and Out of the Sketchbook. (Click on the highlight to see a video preview of her class). This is the second online class I’ve taken from Cat and I really enjoy her teaching style. She is a gentle soul and I always learn so much from her.
Cat recently shared Andy Warhol’s shoe art so I had to give it a try with my own imaginary shoe:
I drew a shape of a shoe on computer paper and then cut out the interior shape. Next, I applied rubber cement around the stencil edges and temporarily glued it to hot press watercolor paper. I then applied watercolor to the paper and removed the stencil before it was completely dry.
After the paint was totally dry, I added highlights to the shoe. I cut a flower from a previous gelli-print and attached it to the shoe with a glue stick. I found the quote on the internet.
I can’t wear shoes like this anymore… but it doesn’t mean I can’t draw them! 🙂
Happy Creating! 🙂
Cool shoe and process!

Oh this shoe is fabulous and the flower color,Wow! I love the quote. I’ll check out Cats class.
I met Giuseppe Zanoti. When I worked for Catholic Charities as the communication/development director, we had a fund raiser with GZ. He had a private shoe sale, by invitation only, at his store at The Forum shops in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. I could only look, the shoes were not in my budget hehe!

Wow! That is do cool, Sharon! 😃 I imagine you saw some amazing shoes! 🌟🎨💕 This is a fun technique, I hope you try it. I made a rose one in my turquoise art journal but I found it works best on hot press paper. I plan on doing more shoes – check out Andy Warhol’s images of shoes too – they are quite fun! 😍

Your shoe is so good. I also looked at the class it looks like a lot of fun. Something to free up an artist. I signed up for her newsletter. Perhaps she will run the class again. Look forward to seeing more of your work from the class!

Thanks Carmel! I like her classes because it helps me see things differently and Cat introduces other artist’s styles each week. I especially like this class because we have an assignment in the sketchbook on Tuesday and then we take those ideas and apply them in a different way outside of our sketchbook on Thursday. I know she will be teaching more classes this year and I will let you know about it before the next one starts if you’d like. Are you on Facebook? Or could you give me your email? Thanks! 😄🎨
