Mixed work
Sunday, June 21, 2009
A busy day in the painting world for me last night and today. So last night I did some more work on my engagement card design as I wasn't happy with it.
I also did some work on my tiger landscape. I added in a shadow above the eye and a extra strip of to the side of his head near the ear.
I also painted another painting last night of a snow scape but may be doing some extra work to this one.
Today my niece gave birth to a baby girl which I will be going to see real so. But I wanted so much to give her something special so I decided to paint her my own card to go with her present.
I am also working on a big cat which is being painted on MDF Boards size 61 x 92 cm. The first step was just to outline it.
The second step is to begin putting in the underlying colours.
Design for engagement card & Tiger Landscape
Friday, June 19, 2009
Just completed this one in soft pastel on blue Colourfix paper 30 x 40cm in size. Once I sort the photos I will have this one done as a stop motion video, thanks to Julz taking all my photos as I worked. Thanks Julz . It's the first time I have attempted tigers in pastel, but was reasonable happy with the outcome. Painted mostly from my imagination although I used a reference for the tigers.

Todays work - Fathers Day Cartoons
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Ok so today I have been creating cartoons with fathers day in mind. These will have sayings to go with them on my store later on. But this is just the art work behind it. I first did these in graphite as sketches and then took a photo and uploaded them to the PC. Once I did that I then printed them of on watercolour paper which of course did the inking for me. Then using watercolours I painted them and took photos again once they were dry. I then uploaded them cropped the edges and then put them into paint where I edited them a little to get the end result.

Last night was playing around with the pastels while looking at one of the photos I took on my road trip not long back. Now I didn't wish to give this the exact look of the original photo as I wanted to have a rough type of a look too, but sticking with the original concept of the photo. Now I used soft Pastel to do this one with the added use of water to help provide texture.

Soft Pastel Experiment
Thursday, May 14, 2009
Today I decided to do a little experiment with soft pastel using water on a brush to blend it just to see how it would come out. I also used watercolor paper to see how it would like the texture. What I found was it loved the texture of the paper and adding water helped to get a much better texture on the page but also meant that the pastel didn't lift as easy of the page. I did two trials and this was the outcome.
