The 35th piece of art entitled “Flowers and an Orange” is a unique piece of art. the background for the still life was created using chalk shaved onto the surface of a pan of water. Then a piece of watercolor paper is held over the surface of the water and lightly padded creating the background. The rest of the painting is once again done digitally.
Today’s offering is lovingly entitled “Cat 22” not because it is my 22nd cat drawing but only because it sounded like a neat title for a picture. The picture was created entirely with the Art Studio app on an iPad.
While “A Man and His Dog,” is not one of my favorite creations it is still a piece of art I created during this long journey of my yearlong art challenge. This one started out as a line drawing, enhanced with blue ink and them colored digitally. I hope to one day revisit this drawing and redo it maybe with colored pencil or another medium.
“A Woman by the Sea,” is a simple #2 pencil drawing done on tan card stock. I love the look of pencil on paper. I hope to offer some more of these simple drawings in the future. As an artist it is always good to get back to the basics and just drawing.
Today’s art entitled “Flowers in Yellow Pot” is done in entirely colored pencil. I must admit while I like the final result using the blue paper did not give the pop of color I was looking for.
I went back to my roots for this one. I picked up a pencil and a picture and drew with a simple #2 a picture of a girl. The piece is entitled “Fairy lovely girl” because the girl kind of reminds me of a fantasy drawing of a fairy or a female elf.
Today’s offering entitled the “Sunflower” is a mixed media affair. The original sketch was done on an old book page and then enhanced digitally using “Art Studio.” As always any art work on my blog is for sale simply email me.
I have just started experimenting with colored pencil this year. I have used pastels before and thought the colored pencils would blend in a similar manner to the colored pencils but boy was I wrong. Colored pencils I have found have a temperament all their own but I am having fun learning what I can and can’t do with pencils. In that light today’s drawing entitled “Flowers in Boot” I had started last year but finished for this challenge. Please forgive me for bending the rules just a little.
Today I decided to offer up a simple picture entitled The Butterfly. The picture is a simple pencil outline filled in with colored pencil. While the piece is very subtle in nature I like the way it turned out. I have learned over the years that sometimes the less fuss which goes into a piece of art the better the piece turns out.
