Shoot it, Sketch it: Encore
The snowflakes are back. This is my second study of a photograph I took in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens last spring. It’s looser and more dramatic than the original sketch (below). I really went to town adding watercolour pencil over the top of an ink and watercolour sketch. Using the pencils wet (by dipping them in water) and then drawing on the wet sketch not only produced some wonderfully intense colours, it also added a rather nice texture. It’s a technique that definitely warrants further investigation… My thanks again to everyone who voted in the poll and asked me to draw this one again.
All around us
“I found art walking along the water at sunrise, on the street… [and at the] Art Museum. I found it in conversation with peers, in sessions learning something new and in being in a different place if but for a short time to break the monotony and familiarity we build into our daily lives to keep us “safe.” It’s all around us ready to open our mind but more importantly our heart. To feel, to be jolted, to be thankful, to see light.” Kathie Pugaczewski blogging at Cast Light.
Wearable art and a confession
Hello. My name is Anna and I am addicted to creating Etsy treasuries.
Since my first treasury (i.e. a gallery of items for sale on Etsy) six weeks ago, I’ve put together more than a dozen of them. Why is it so addictive? I get to design mini galleries based on any theme I choose, I’m getting to know other sellers on Etsy, I’m finding lots of inspiration AND I get to go shopping. Naturally, my treasuries feature a lot of art and photography, but they are full of other stuff too ― things that catch my eye that I think are beautiful, interesting, well designed or just a lot of fun.
The one below is from a few days ago. Check out those Versace boots!
