More of my Work In Progress/Completion

It's really hard to get the colors to look correct. The red on the side of the painting isn't so bright.

Commission Work In Progress

I decided to post a work in progress for a commission I am working on. The first picture is the paper I used and then I put a light wash on the sky. The second picture shows the clouds I made out of pages from a French book and a light wash on the grass. The third picture is just the priming I did on the figures (that takes the longest). I will post more pictures as I go.

New Sketches!!

Here are some more sketches from my Suzi workshop. This time we sketched on watercolor paper and practiced shading with watercolor pencils. I also received another commission request through my Etsy shop and am working on that right now. I will show you the WIP on that starting tomorrow! Busy, Busy, Busy...

New Sketches

Here are some new sketches I have been working on for the class I am taking with Suzi Blu. Part of our homework was to practice simple head tilts, gestures and shading. I am having fun and am chomping at the bit to start painting. Have a great weekend!!

Suzi Blu "Party Girl" Kit Complete!

I actually have had this finished for awhile, but I have been taking an online class with Suzi and have been busy completing her assignments. I will post my assignments soon, but in the meantime, I hope you like the painting. It was a lot of fun to create.

Blog Award...YAY!

Yesterday I received the "I Love your Blog" award by the very lovely and talented Stacy of My Artful Life. I feel very honored to receive this award; it is always nice to be recognized. Thanks Stacy!

Carmen at Distracted by Design

Kim at Kim Hardt Originals

Finished Jessi & Skylar

Here is the completed commissioned piece I mentioned in the last post. The pictures do not do the piece justice. The colors are really vibrant and there is some glitter added to her collar, headband and the chandelier. Jessi, if you see this I really hope you like it. I will be putting it in the mail tomorrow.
