Willowing Week 5

This week is about embellishments. If you click on the image you will see a much larger version.

Willowing Week 4

Week 4 is about backgrounds.

Willowing Week 3

I am also doing workshops with Tam at www.willowing.ning.com. Week 3 is about shading. I am very pleased with how the girl came out. Her dress is not finished yet. Week 4 is about backgrounds, so this picture will progress then.

Suzi Blu

I am currently doing an online workshop with Suzi Blu. I finally managed to put it all together and do an A3 picture on birch pine. It is not the best example but I am pleased with it. I have been trying to draw and paint for 15 or so years now and I feel with this one that I have made some progress. I may attack it tomorrow and add more "connecting" colours, e.g. some pink in the background. But this is what it looks like today.

Whimisical Characters with Willowing

I'm doing an online workshop with Tammy at www.willowing.ning.com. The first lesson was about composition. The images in the photo are hers, I just placed them.

I was ruler and maths challenged when drawing lines 1/3 across the page, so I folded it into thirds!

Willowing Girl

I have just painted this picture as a result of viewing Willowing's you tube video on face shading.
She is starting painting classes on feburary 28th 2009 and registration opens in mid January. Pop along to www.willowing.ning.com for more details if you are interested.
