Photos from my studio

Just some things I've been working on in my studio.

Snapshots

Just some snapshot peeks at what I've been doodling and enjoying lately when I get one of those rare moments of free time.

Mixed Media - doodles

I've got a bit of a cold, so my art is being pushed to the side in favor of kleenexes and sleep at the moment, but I thought I'd share a page or two I managed to doodle on this past week. I'm still feeling my way around with the whole mixed media idea, but I think I like where its taking me. :)

February 14th

Just some random things to share. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day! :)

Painting Practice

I felt like trying out some painting techniques, and since I don't have that many photos of real life items to paint, or was just too lazy to go find/take pictures of them, I just picked one from some of the photos that inspire me. This one on the left by popoks is beautiful. I can't find the direct link, but her gallery is full of amazingly colorful pictures, so be sure to check them out. This one was simple and full of vibrant stuff so I tried my hand at it. Not sure I like the outcome, but it was fun to push myself to try something I don't normally do.

More random doodled stuff.

More digital flower paintings

Just some more digital painting practice fun. I think the winter weather is inspiring a sudden dark, magical feel for me. :p

Honey Bears and Flowers

A little picture from one of my previous sketches. Also available on DeviantArt and Society6.

And just a little doodling of digital painted flowers (Note that I use the term flowers very loosely.). :) Happy Wednesday! :D

Girl with the flowers in her hair - polkadot

Another silhouette, this time of a girl with some polkadots and flowers in her hair. :)

More vector work

Some new pieces inspired by these awesome cards.

The blue version of the circle flowers is available on my Society6 page. I think I may revamp the Peter Pan piece. I like it, but it feels too bland. I think it needs some more 'stuff'. LoL!

Happy Friday!

Back to blogging

I'm so excited! I finally got my paint programs running and here's what I've come up with so far. This first picture is by far the easiest and cleanest oil painting I've ever done. In case you can't tell, it's a picture of flowers.

This second picture was actually the first one I did. It's definately alot easier to do some things on a computer, yet there are things that are easier, and more fun, to do with real paints and brushes. Still, painting on a computer is really fun, too. :)

Plus, I still have the other project I mentioned the other day that I need to post. But it may be a couple of days before I can get to it. It's done with real paint and paper, too, so you can decide if you like my computer work better, or my real artwork. Or neither. :) (Or both!)

Either way, I'll try to post my other work soon. Until then, I'm going to see what I can come up with using my tablet. ;)
