Roses

This week i have been drawing and painting roses alot. I dont know why I all of a sudden want to roses but i do. Follow the muse.

Painting -Maggie -Inspired by Richard Salcido

I love the moody look Richard Salcido gives his girls.  This is my attempt at that look.

I have a long way to go before I reach his level of talent I think! :)

New speed video!

I made a video of one of my pages. The face I panted over is just a photo copy (on copy paper) of a sketch I did, self portrait. I am  really happy with how the page went.   

Art journal flip.

My very first video is now up for you to enjoy. Its my first 'completed' art journal.

And a quick page from my new altered book art journal. 

I'm back!!!

 I have been away for such a long time I started to feel like I can’t come back. I now to my own blog how messed up is that?

I started making deals with myself when I have made something that is really really really good then I can come back, but that’s just silly so I'm back now.

My baby boy was born on the 19/8/13 a little early and he was not very well for a little bit but now I have a happy healthy bundle of joy and I couldn’t love him more. I can never describe how much I love my son. 

I worked really hard copying a photo , I think it looks like him I'm so pleased with it. But then again who could draw/paint my baby boy and not make him super cute!

Yep that’s a sketch I did while he was breastfeeding sorry. 

I'm thinking of doing a art journal flip soon. have a full catch up on most things i have been doing art wise (not that much). Its not all baby related mush i promise.....

An unexpected, unwanted brake.

I haven’t been up too much art lately, can’t really talk about why yet but hopefully I’ll be able to tell you more in 2 weeks’ time. Exited!

 

Any way this means that I'm really far behind in my art classes and projects.

 

This is week 2 from lifebook. I don’t like it at all but at least its pushing me to try new things.

Week 3 life book the tin foil flowers  again I'm not found of this page but it’s something new to try.

 

 

And this is some homework for a ‘class’ called angles in Architecture. This class feels a lot more like a project then a class but so far I'm enjoying it.  

Now if you will excuse me I have a lot of neglected art blogs to catch up on. Will make more of an effort to post soon.

 

Holiday Art

So I have been away on a holiday, it was a very last minute thing we (me and my husband) booked a flight and went to find winter sun. Very much needed. Very relaxing.  I took some pens and some water soluble crayons and this some of the art I made while on holiday.

The sunsets from are balcony were beautiful this was on are first night. I got lots of photos and I’m going to paint some more.  

 

This is a portrait of my husband I’m really proud of it as it actually looks like him! I think that means I’m improving.

Still under the weather….

I have am still not very well this week but I have finally submitted and gone to see a doctor (I hate going to the doctors). Hopefully the medication will fix me.

Spent a lot of time with a hot water bottle snuggled and feeling sorry for myself.  

I’m not very good at drawings hands.

Dose not scan very well either.
