These are a bunch of images I am touching up to part of a bigger project I am working on. These when finished will be a few of the pages of my book. I loved being able to take the sketches I drew in my journal and transfer them into something more “important” or official. Just a quick reminder, HULL OPEN STUDIOS this Sunday from 10-5. Stop by and say hello I would love the chance to get to talk to people in person about the works. Anyway, enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!
Another doodle today… I am always amazed how happy I am with the result of images drawn with office materials, Sharpies, pens and highlighters. I’ve been obsessed with the shape combinations in these small little drawings. The image is bold and highly contrasted which I love! Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!
Another simple doodle as most people would probably call it. I’m loving this combination though. I think it is probably the contrast I am so excited and attracted too not to mention I always have loved a bright pop of color. Right now the pink happens to be that color, obviously. So just a quick reminder Open Studios in Hull are happening soon. It is the weekend of July 7th and 8th. I will only be participating on the 8th since one of my besties is getting married on the 6th and it is going to be an amazing time! Which ultimately means Saturday = Recoup time. Anyway enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
Another experiment with everyday materials that you find in your desk. I forgot to post before I left the house so now that I am back here it is. Hope everyone had a nice fathers day, we got to enjoy a wonderful family dinner from The Corrib in West Roxbury with the family. It’s one of my favorite comfort kind of restaurants. So back to this image I was really enjoying yesterdays image so I tried it again… It’s kind of fun to see the contrast of the line quality of a pen verse a sharpie verse a highlighter. Anyway onto the next image. Enjoy, see you tomorrow!
Today was all about sketching with everyday materials. A pen, a highlighter and a sharpie. Oddly enough I kind of loved it! Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
Today was a bit of an experiment with layering. I went to the Cohasset Art Fair today which opened at 2pm and went through the tent to look at all the artwork. This was the show I had tried to get into. I actually think that my pricing may have been too high for a lot of the show, seems like if you don’t have a name for yourself you works should not cost over $600 and all of mine did. Oh well you live and learn. I did see one really interesting mixed media piece which inspired me to cut up the paper (which has absolutely no significance to me, it was a Citibank credit card brochure). Also, while I was there I ran into an old friend, Mr. Rodger Tirrell, who most of my friends know as our art teacher from High School. It is always such a pleasure to chat with him. Anyway, as I said before this was just an experiment and far from a completed piece. Anyway, Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Well even though today was Wednesday and typically Wednesday means my day off for rest and relaxation, I was completely busy all day long. This also means that although I plan for Wednesdays to be a good drawing day today kind of failed. I managed to sketch a tiny bit today in a small it of down time. I actually have nothing against the drawing itself other than it is quite simple and very incomplete, but I guess some days are just like that. Hoping tomorrow brings a bit more rest, working in the evening but theoretically that’s my only true obligation. HA! Anyway, Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
I had a chance to sit at a park today and just sketch, it was progressing very slowly and thus never was really finished but this is it so far. I really enjoyed drawing away from my drawing table. Oddly enough even with the horrible rainy weather outside I found it more inspiring then the basement. Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Was able to pull this one off, a quick fix and I’m off for the day. Ready to take on the bridal craziness at work that is going to occur and then to town to put on my dance shoes! Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!
Just a quickie after work! Not too crazy about this image but it will do for today. I loved how it looked before I added the pen and once I added the pen I just kept adding… it is kind of like word vomit but in painting/drawing terms. Well enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!
