Life drawing madness – I’m back in! I used to run a local life drawing session for two years and I was at the art centre every week, drawing away. But it got to be too much with work and I gave it up. Now I barely go which is a shame because it’s always great …
Hope everyone had a great holiday time! 🙂 I have absolutely tons of art to post seeing as it’s been over two months since my last post. I’ve been very busy creating art for work and for presents but haven’t posted any of it. I’ve also been taking a new course over at Concept Art …
I went to life drawing for the first time in many months yesterday and it was rough! I felt out of figure drawing practice for the first couple of poses but then I found my groove and things became more comfortable. Sort of like riding a bike I suppose. I haven’t done much art at …
Day 30 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge and I have one more painting left to go. It’s been a hard slog I think! Last night, I went back to my markers (it felt so good!) and made a set of pretty forest ladies for a trading partner who is sending me three pretty antlered …
Happy paint party Friday! I’m busy working away on coloring books along with a set of ATCs for yet another trade with fellow artists. Right now I’m working on portraits of my fellow traders in the style of Mucha. Ok, so they’re not a great Mucha style but some elements are there! These portraits are done in …
Here’s an illustration that I’m working on over the next few days, a pretty nature goddess. I’m still working out the composition and colors so things are likely to change. It’s a WIP. I still have no idea what she’s going to be holding in her hands! Flower maybe? An earth? At left is a …
It feels good to be back posting again! And even better–it’s almost time for school! My favorite TV commercial is for Stapes office supply stores. They have an ad with parents dancing in the store aisles picking up school supplies with, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” playing in the background. That’s totally …
I took along some watercolor pencils to a life drawing session last night but I only brought Kraft paper – DOH! If you’ve ever worked on kraft paper before, you know it’s super thin and very prone to air wrinkles. It doesn’t take much to ruin the stuff, it’s maybe half a step up from …
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post and I have a lot of art to share but I can’t share any of it yet! Blarg! Everything I’ve created this week, with the exception of the life drawing, is for a Secret Solstice swap on an art trading site I belong to. I’ve …
I’ve been missing in action for a couple of weeks with good intentions. I had been trying to aim for an art heavy schedule to get new items in my store and lots of fresh new art to sell and then BAM! Flu! Today is day six of a really evil virus. In honour of …
