I {heart} {Art}

Hello my fellow artists!  I have some new drawings, and my very first EVER painting!  Yep!  I painted a portrait!  And, I think I did okay for my first time!  I learned a lot about acrylic paint, watercolor crayons, watersoluble oil pastels, and graphite pencils and crayons!  What a fun experiment it was!  This was the result of the second class of Willowing’s Fabulous Faces workshop.

First, here are a couple of drawings that I did last week. I was totally inspired by the style of the fabulous Tam’s (Willowing) drawing here.

And now….*drum roll*….

I just LOVE her purple hair!  Here’s Tam’s feedback and suggestions:

Subtle changes – make such a huge difference!  She just lowered her lips, and lengthened her chin, and deepened the shading.  WHOA!  So much fun.

Thank you SO MUCH for taking a peek at my blog today.  Feel free to leave me a comment – it makes me smile.

Willowing ROCKS!

Hello my friends.   Well, I have two more pretty ladies to show you today.  I’ve been practing the graphite drawing skills I’m learning from Willowing (Tam).  I started her “Fabulous Faces” online workshop this past week.  This first week’s instruction was how to draw a front-facing woman with graphite pencil.  I’ve been drawing every day, after I go to bed.  I’m not sure that I’m getting the best possible result when I’m drawing in a horizontal position, with my sketchbook on my lap!  😉  I should try drawing from an upright/sitting position lol.  That’s my goal for today.  In the meantime, here’s a couple of sketches from last night.  I still have a long way to go, but the practicing is SO MUCH FUN!  🙂
