Happy 2nd Annaversary

| Anna Cull

My little blog turned two today. Wow ― has it really been two years since I started blogging? I thought I’d mark the occasion by making a list of my top ten arty milestones (my personal favourites) from the last year. Click on the images to view the original posts…

Realising that thick paint and black outlines can make a subject look more realistic (it still seems counterintuitive to me... but it reallly does work)
Discovering the magic of bold outlines

So there you are… all in all, I’d call that a very productive year. Thanks for reading.

  1. Congrats on two years! This is a fantastic list of artworks that you’ve created in the past year. A variety of different styles, too — you’re certainly stretching with different approaches.

    Many Congratulations 🙂
    You really have extended and challenged yourself much to the delight of myself and others as can be seen from comments and visits you have throughout each and every one of your lovely blog posts .
    Thank you for the mention ..I hesitate to say but thanks to another generous blogger I have a reference image too I hope to tackle in some way in the future .. I hope they will be as thrilled with the result as I was when you felt inspired to create a completely new piece of art of your own from my photo .
