More Envelopes

Envelope Painting

Here are a few more envelopes

A smell this envelope with a lotus flower painted on. The flower didn't turn out how I liked so I added a message to cancel out the perfection.

A little chickadee watercolor.

A blue jay, this was my first envelope bird.

A cardinal.

This is my favorite in this series, a can of Bush's Original Baked Beans. I might have to do a larger version of this.

I hope you enjoyed these envelopes.

 

Saint Benedict with Video!

- Father of Western Monasticism

-Saint Benedict of Nursia-

I've finished letter B, next I will jump to letter D, with Saint Dymphna and Saint Dominic, as I have already done the C's. I like to jump around the alphabet, just to confuse people that like orderly fashions. Isn't it boring if everything is in line, perfect, and in an order that pleases you.  Never in real life is there perfect order and reason for things - same goes for this series, whatever letter I feel like doing next will be the one - F doesn't have to come after E.

-     Here is the finished drawing done in colored pencil on 7.25" X 9.75" paper. I have updated the page, "Saints on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper."

I have also recorded this drawing as I drew, the video is down below. I have had many requests to do another time lapse video from my many followers, so here it is, maybe I will record the rest of this series.

THANK YOU for Viewing this Art!

Finally back to my alphabet series

Saint Barbara

I like to call this series, 'Saints on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper', but, 'The Alphabet Series' works just as well. The last ones I did were all the way back in August! St. Agnes and St. Anthony. But I'm back with the series. I hope you enjoy following along with me as I draw the saints from A to Z.

My sister, Miss K is SUPPOSED to be doing biographies on all of these drawings in this series, but she is a little behind.

 So just a little information I found on St. Barbara,

-born mid-third century in Heliopolis, Phoenicia.

-after Barbara became Christian, denouncing her father's Pagan beliefs, her father got angry and she was tortured.

-She later was beheaded by her father and became a martyr.

The Next Saint will be St. Benedict

I will have the A's done, the B's done, and the C's done. But there is only one problem - there is only enough paper to do Saint Benedict and one of the D's. - It may be awhile until I finish this series!

It's My Blogirthday!

 Happy Blogirthday!

It has been exactly 1 year since I started this blog - Jan 10th two thousand and twenty! 1 year and I've got a ton of followers who love viewing my art, thanks to them that I can still be here showing my work and showing what my hand is capable of when you stick a pencil or pen into it, or a crayon.

Now for the Artwork

This is a drawing of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wanted to draw something with crayons because I liked how smooth they were and how nice the colors blend together. I decided to do a drawing of the Blessed Virgin Mary because I don't think I have drawn one in color - I have painted one and have done a little sketch, but not a big drawing - it is not super big, but it is bigger than regular paper - 14 inches wide by 17 inches tall. 

This is probably the video that inspired me to do this particular picture of Mary, they used colored pencil for the whole drawing.

My Finished Drawing

This drawing was done with Prismacolors and crayons. I used the Prismacolors for the face and hands and the rest was done with crayons.

A Bonus Sketch

This sketch is a Hungarian themed drawing done for some of my cousins. Included in this sketch is the Hungarian flag, a Forint (Money), and the Hungarian Parliament Building.

I hope you enjoyed this post, comment if you liked any of the drawings.
