Art Journal In Progress

I wanted to show some progress of a page I have been working on in my art journal. I have to say I am excited for the kids to get back to school next week (as much as I hate the idea too)  so that I have more artistic time during the day.  I have really missed working on some art this summer. Though I have gotten several projects done so I have been productive.

I sketched out my face and then started to color in with my favorite medium, water color crayons. Then I moved into adding some acrylic paints and graphite pencils.




I played with adding some highlights to her hair and then colored in the background and side page.





      And here is what I have so far. I am going to add some quotes to the other side to complete the page. I liked the way it turned out so much that I have used it as my blog button that you can grab on your right. Thanks for stopping by.

Such A Bad Bloger And A New Sketch

When I found out that a friend's birthday is Sunday I had to get the canvas out and start sketching. She loves quotes so I put one of my favorite Picasso ones on it. I am so loving how it turned out that I am going to have to make one for myself LOL. In fact I think I might make myself a little mini series of them to hang in my area. I so love the way the quote looks on it. I have to say since getting to know her I have started really paying attention to all the awesome quotes out there.

I am so sorry I have not been blogging you guys. My hubby's had to have his 3rd surgery on his knee and things have just been crazy around here. Well I also have to admit that I have been a little lazy too LOL. I promise that I will be updated at least twice a week until I get back into full swing. I have so many projects that I need to take pictures of and show you guys.

Thanks to my followers and I will keep them coming.

New Blog and Art Work

Hi everyone not sure why but I felt like starting up a new blog. Really I guess I did it in hopes that it would get me motivated to get back into my blogging.

So to start off, I was asked to draw and paint some artwork for a friends daughter for Christmas. I had so much fun doing this one. I used water colors with this one. I just love doing multimedia artwork, there are so many different things out there to play with. I used a sharpie for the lettering and scrapbook paper for her dress. Then I used diamond dust on the wings to give them that sparkle. To top it all off I used music note brads scatter around. Tara loved the painting and said I made it fit her personality perfectly so I was thrilled. I have a couple of ideas floating around in my head for couple more paintings so let the sketching begin.

XOXO
