Shadows

I have been adding low lights and shadows and shading to the Red Head. To photograph my journal page the day light was fading so I just went with it. It is a bit soft but I prefer the natural light to the flash. Does she look much different from the previous post? Hmmm . . . . yes I think so.

Watercolour Portraits

The Studio construction is moving along and I also got in some art time over the last few days. I took a workshop last Sunday, Watercolour Portraits with Aleesha Davis Fowlie at Island Blue Print in Victoria and had a great time. I learned quite a few things.
1. Don't be in a hurry to get it done, build your layers up.
2. Use transparent pigments.
3. Use a light a mark maker possible to start off with so you don't see any lines.
4. Mix enough colour
5. My colour mixing is not too bad
I didn't like the image I choose in class. It was too small. I did the one above to try and practice all the things we learned in class I still have some work to do on it. I want to do a series of portraits to learn more, after all its all about the process!

Art Studio in progress!

I may not be posting much art for a little while as my new Art Studio is currently under construction. I am so excited. I have ordered my new door and window. This is what my new door will look like. More or less anyway. I took pictures in the store of the window and then the door and Photoshoped them together. This is my big splurg for my studio and I am so happy I spent the big bucks on this baby. Well I better get out there and get back to work. Insert big grin here!!!
