Giveaway

For my 30th blog post I thought I would do a little giveaway. 

I created this blog so that I have somewhere to display my constantly developing art, to receive constructive feedback and as a way of keeping track of my art.

To go in the running to win the following framed, small-scale drawing you need to be following my blog and have given me some form of feedback.

Goodluck!! I will post the winner this Friday 27^th July.

A little Peek...

"A little Peek", 2012, Pencil and Ink on Canaletto

My own teacher..

Sometimes, to push myself with my art I will take myself out of my comfort zone.Normally my art is controlled and i focus on proportion, light, shading and colour. In these latest experiements I instead let the artwork control me. To be able to develop and see things in a new light i believe its important to do this occasionally. (Although i do have Paul Higgs to thank for making me do things like this to begin with.)

I created these works using a range of different materials including pencil, watercolour, acrylic, oil and enamel paint.

Something Different

I thought i would try a little still life....I used graphite pencil, watercolour, and coloured pencil. Pretty Happy with the result..

Good things come in..packages...

Look what finally came in the mail this week. You cannot believe how excited i was when i saw the little slip from the post office in my letter box telling me i had a package...

Art Day

Art day today!!! Finally the sun is back out so i got a chance to soak up some vitamin D, and some inspiration, before heading back inside to my easel and drawing materials. Today i will be working on some watercolours and for a change i'm going to be playing with some clay. I haven't played around with sculpture since my first year at tafe so it should be interesting, and fun!

Gift

To say thank you to a lovely friend for allowing me to come along for a once in a lifetime opportunity I drew this:

 

It didnt take me very long but it did occupy a couple of my lunch breaks at my normal job, although i'm sure i looked like an idiot lugging around my large sketchbook through the shopping center. I can't help it, but i always have to have some sort of drawing material on me, "just incase!".
