Week 36: Printing

Raining cats and dogs. 

For this week's illustration I wanted to create something that could become elements for a stencil. Later I would like to explore reprinting this design in a variety of colours where the clouds, cats and dogs are in a monotone colour (like this one black on white) on coloured paper OR printed in a variety of colours.

52-Week Illustration Challenge: Week 26

Week 26: San Francisco

For me San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, information technology companies like Cisco and the iconic houses on the tv shows Full House and Charmed.

Harmonious Circles

Today I attended my second Sylvia Marris art class.

We painted circles in harmonious colours using acrylic paper and paints plus I added in some watered down ink. We used stencils, pens with stamps, brushes and q-tips to assist in the design creation.

I loved exploring the different ways that circles can be used.

Week 24: Multiculturalism

This week I wanted to show my Polish heritage. This illustration shows the national dress that my aunts, my little sister and I have all worn. My Polish grandparents arrived in Australia in 1950.

Week 23: Texture

This week's illustration comes from the art class I did with Sylvia Marris.

Once I completed the piece I felt wow that has great texture so here is my whimsical painting. This is a style I'd really like to explore again the parring back to shape and line to create images.

Catch-up Week 16: Experiment
My hair wasn't always blue.
The experiment was also using brown paper and acrylic paint (not used this medium for 20+ years)

New art supplies.

For me an art store is as deadly as a book store.
It is sometimes part of my preparation process for a new creation.
