Art Class!

 More drawings to come

I signed up for a drawing class this semester so I'll be busy drawing - unless we have to model clay? Nope, probably just drawing.

In the first week we already had three drawings due. The first one is of a mug.

My second drawing is a still life done in colored pencils. At first I could not think of anything ... No, I couldn't think of what to draw that would look appealing. 

But then my glance shifted over to the cabinet full of games and ... That's how this next drawing came to be - Still Life of Blurble.

This piece captures all sorts of movement throughout, from the grain in the table to the angled boxes of the game and the lain out cards. It moves the eye that captures the attention!

And my last drawing is a landscape done using a mixture of different mediums, ("art medium" refers to the art materials or artist supplies used to create a work of art).  I used Charcoal, colored pencils, crayons, and pastels to create this landscape.

I only had a limited time to finish these so I didn't have a whole lot of time to go into great detail as I did on the previous piece, but sometimes simplicity beats complexity. 

If you perceive this image correctly it should look like a road - more specifically; a gravel road going far and beyond the horizon from a hill with trees and grass and plopped alongside that road appears to be a telephone wire taking you diagonally through the piece.

Thank You for reading this post and viewing my art!

Come Again Now!

SAINT PHILOMENA PAINTING

 I decided to do one more painting before school started back up, so I chose a canvas of the size, 9 X 12 and put some paint on it. I did a base layer of Acrylic paint and then splattered some oil paint on top - 

I decided to film the painting from start to finish so I could see the progress in a time lapse. The phone kept shutting off on me, so the beginning with the acrylic paint has some pieces missing. The second part with the splattering of oil paint I used the camera, which worked better - but the lighting was bad so it is hard to see.

I have one finished picture of the painting - this time no progress pictures, but a progress video.

BAD LIGHTING - TOO REFLECTIVE

Saint Agnes & Saint Anthony

St. Agnes of Rome

Agnes means lamb in the Greek Language. So I am going to continue writing this section in Greek - hopefully you are caught up in your studies.

Αυτό το Prismacolor είναι του Αγίου Agnes, αποδείχθηκε πολύ καλά. Μου αρέσει πολύ πώς τα χρώματα συνδυάστηκαν με ένα ωραίο σκούρο και απαλό χρώμα. Ελπίζω να σας αρέσουν οι θεατές.

Αυτές οι επόμενες εικόνες είναι μερικές σε εξέλιξη φωτογραφίες.

Και για τον τελικό

And back to English - hopefully you could understand my Greek ... I'm a little rusty, it's been a while since I've studied Greek ... actually I've never studied Greek - Unless Google Translate counts?

And Finally for Saint Anthony

I'll keep this one in English. I just finished this picture today ... but if you're reading it on a different day than today, I didn't finish it that day, but this day - the day I typed it out, not the day you decide to read it, unless you are reading it today ... hopefully that makes sense.

For the in-progress pictures: 

Saint Anthony and Christ child are done in Prismacolor colored pencil and for the first time ever I used pastel for the background - it was way quicker than using Prismas.

I hope you like these portraits of these two saints,

If you do please comment which picture you like, if you don't comment why.

Thank you for reading this post

And viewing my art I have created

I have updated the gallery of Saints so you may view them all in one spot. Saints Gallery

"Life is a work of art. If you don't like what you see, paint over it." 

Maybe my favorite so far ...

This could well be my favorite 

This could be my favorite dog drawing so far. Why? - It was fun to draw! I turned out how I like it and it could also be that the picture ...

WASN'T BLURRY! 

And it was a nice full body dog that was clear ... enough ... here 

                                                               Is a glimpse of the head.

My favorite part are the eyes. and the right ear ... looking at it though it is the left ear.

Here are some more photos leading up to the final

This one used a filter to darken the values - look at the eyes.

And here it is with the background!

And her name is Ava - I'm sure you would know if you read the name.

And here Ava is doing all she can to stop the spread of Covid-19 ... I'm so proud of her - that's my good girl, Ava, come get a doggy num num.

I am almost finished with the last letter A prismacolor, Saint Anthony, so that will be next ... unless perhaps something else pops up?

Thank You for reading and viewing this dog!

Comment which dog food is your favorite! 

But if you haven't tried any, comment what kind of dog is best!

A little Behind.

More dogs and a Redo.

I haven't finished Saint Anthony yet so I haven't published the letter 'A' saints - because I had to redo some dogs and a rush order dog came in from a customer.

Here is the original dog: 

And here is what happened: 

Yes ... your eyes are correct if you see a hole.

And here is my replica of it:
