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.
Daily Timeout for Art #26
Another doodle presented to you entitled “Blue Flower Pot and Buds.” I love these sim0listic looking doodles and I plan to offer up some more as the year goes on. Maybe I will improve my digital art skills.
Daily Timeout For Art #25
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.

Daily Timeout for Art #24
Recently I saw some blue pen drawings on Pinterest which fascinated my artistic stirrings. While today’s offering “Blue Vase/Red Flowers” has some aspects of what I saw on Pinterest I added some colored pencil to give it a little contrast.

Today I decided to offer up a simple picture entitled The Butterfly. The picture is a simple pencil outline filled in with colored pencil.

The Red Flower – My First Digital Art
A piece of art work I created when playing with a program called Art Studio. While it is a rough picture it is a new beginning for me.

I must say the finished product is not what I envisioned before I created this piece. The picture as you can see is a simple outline of a cat on black entitle The Cat. I guess what I don’t care about are the colors in the background and the way it appears to me as unrefined. I have done another version done in acrylics on Pinterest. Neither of these pictures I am enamored with and I know sometime in the future I will revisit them and redo them.
Back to the Drawing Board
A good article on the need to see values (the artistic kind} in all the art work we create. Unless you’re creating a monochrome painting values help a painting pop.
A month ago I posted a drawing of an enormous hornet’s nest that took both a considerable amount of time to draw, as well as space on my kitchen table while doing so. Shortly thereafter a friend suggested that I had drawn it upside down! The opening on a hornet’s nest is typically at the bottom which, apparently, helps keep rain out, and I had drawn it at the top. Solving the problem wasn’t a simple matter of turning the drawing around— the shading and composition simply didn’t hold up when the drawing was flipped. So, with reluctance, I went back to the drawing board, as they say, for another go.
Although this piece took just about as long as the first one—15+ hours over the course of two weeks— I was able to take what I learned the last time and push the drawing further. The best part of…
