Holy Cow, so much art, so many days, lol. We’re all making it through though. Today I did my final piece (for now) in Andrea Joseph’s style. It’s in my new sketchbook Moleskine that I’ll be using for my Art Challenge that I’m starting December first. By the way, if you are shopping for an…

AEDM Day Twenty
Quick post. I’ll be doing a version of Brenda Swenson’s seventy-five day Challenge starting the beginning of December. Yep, I’ll be doing art everyday through Christmas for at least three months. I know that seventy-five days is less than three months but my new Moleskine sketchbook has 104 pages, soooo… You see where I’m going….
AEDM Day Ninteen
This is my final homework for Andrea Joseph’s class in SBS. I absolutely loved the process of doing this drawing. I used a Faber-Castell Pit pen in sepia for the shading. Much of the other small details were done using Pentel Slicci micro point pens. I had all these gel-type pens that I’d really never…
AEDM Day Sixteen
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″)….
