So, this week our Sketchbook Skool teacher is one of my all time favorite artists. I discovered Andrea Joseph’s blog a several years ago and have been enthralled with her art ever since. I couldn’t wait for this week to start so I could watch her videos over and over. Having done that throughout this…

AEDM Day Fifteen
I found some photographs of old rusty scissors and they so reminded me of the scissors that my mom used to have for sewing. It was under pain of death that anyone dared touch the sewing scissors. Now that I’m older I know that cutting paper with sewing scissors that are used to cut expensive…
AEDM Day Fourteen
It’s late in the day and I’m totally behind in my art. But at least I GOT IT DONE for AEDM. I’ll have to wake up tomorrow and do a bunch of art to get ahead again (oh the horror!), doesn’t that sound like a terrible thing to be faced with? ;o) Ya, terrible. Right…
Anybody Need A Goat? (AEDM Day Thirteen)
Christmas is just around the corner. Do you know how I know that? My very favorite commercial of all time is back, once again, to make me smile and yell, “SHOP TODAY!“. The Plan Canada goat commercial begins every year around this time and my mom and I absolutely look forward to it, for serious….
AEDM Day Twelve
Today I decided to use a very cool website called All About Birds. There you can look up any bird and get information all about it. I Googled British Columbian bird species and then looked them up on the website. I decided to draw up a Swallow and a red-breasted Nuthatch. Don’t you just love…
AEDM Day Eleven
Tomorrow is Remembrance Day and I decided this would be a good time to paint up the poppies that I’ve wanted to do for ages and ages. I did an amalgam of four poppy photographs and used the background from the full blown poppy. I know that this year, here in Canada, Tuesday will be…
AEDM Day Ten
Wow, ten days in a row doing art for Art EveryDay Month. I do love Novembers full of creating. Today I really did a lot of homework, although calling it homework feels weird because it was pure joy painting up these pages. My plan in the next twenty days is to finish my watercolor Moleskine (5.5″x8.5″)….
AEDM Day Nine
So, I realized as I went through my homework videos on SBS (this week’s class is with Cathy Johnson) that my pinecone study fits exactly into what Cathy is teaching. Hmmm, serendipity I guess. So the art for Art EveryDay Month is also my homework. Gotta love it when you’re already half done something…
AEDM Day Eight
This was such a fun drawing for me. I’m really trying to loosen up my style and I think I’ve hit on something I love. I can’t believe I can finally say that I think I’m finding my own style, FINALLY!!! YAY! It’s been a long road of not knowing what my art should look…
AEDM Day Seven
So I didn’t post day five or six of Art Everyday month as I wanted to give the “Accidental Alchemist” book review due time for everyone to read it. I feel like when an author lets me read one of their books grata, I owe them a little up time on my blog. Anyway, I…
