Unfortunately I didn’t get to participate as much as I’d like to have this year in #World Watercolor Month. But I’m happy to have gotten one last drawing in before it was over yesterday. I’ve been working on this page (i.e.. I sketched it out and promptly forgot about it) for a whole month. I…
SBS
A Little This & That
B&W ways to add water Moleskine page So I’ve been aimlessly playing in my sketchbook. I should have taken the time to explore crosshatching a week ago as I’m taking SBS’s “Stretching” course, their fourth installment of Sketchbook Skool. I guess this time I’m not feeling as inspired as several of the teachers are into…
Just A Little Note…
I thought I’d tell all of you about the free introductory class from Sketchbook Skool. Anyone who has thought of signing up but has been reluctant can try it out first and get your feet wet, so to speak. This allows all of you who just don’t know what it would be like to take…
My Last Page
I can’t believe I’ve finished my Moleskine sketchbook. It’s a real milestone for me. I had only done about a dozen or so pages in my Watercolor Moleskine in 2012 and 2013. Then I signed up for Sketchbook Skool earlier this year. In doing two courses with them (“Beginnings” and “Seeing”), each course being six…
AEDM Day Twenty-Seven
Today I finished my homework for the last class of “Seeing” Sketchbook Skool. I’m a little sad to see it finished. I’ll have to wait until January to possibly take another course, they haven’t even announced what the next installment will be. I don’t think I’m going to take “Storytelling” as I’m not any kind…
AEDM Day Twenty-Six
I painted my teacup. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. Doing the detailed pattern study yesterday made me realize just how fiddly teacups are and I knew that the pattern on the actual teacup I’d be drawing was much smaller than the larger version I did yesterday. But, I…
AEDM Day Twenty-Two
I had a really productive day today making art. In fact, I haven’t even started watching the Liz Steel videos in my last class of SBS. My first page that I completed was the page beside my magnets page so I wanted whatever I drew to go with that. I decided to finally draw…
AEDM Day Twenty-One
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 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…
