Organizing my way

 

she is peeking out from the frame

I wish I remembered where I got these stock photos from

today I am cleaning out the den cupboards,

its amazing what stuff you find in there

I am kinda following  the Japanese way of

organizing, Letting go of stuff has never been

to hard for me, so I guess I don't have any

hoarder genes, except in my studio of course.

Gelli Plate Art

 

Gelli plate art, is my one of my favourite ways to create art.

I take a day or two, great a bunch of gelli plate papers

and then I have a bunch of papers ready to use in my art.

I love this paper so much I just decided to draw on it

with a stabile pence, and that was it.  I love the way it turned out.

Having fun today

 

oh what should I wear today

 

Just having fun today playing around with some

of my images, and some stock photography.  You

can do so much if you have photoshop or something

like it.

My take on Modigliani :Man with Hat

They sure came up with some snappy names back then

okay I know why you came, so lets get right to it

slim pickings this week, must be because its summer.

 

the first one is by Seal Lemon, I love this girl,
in this video she shows you how to make book cloth
for your books.  I have made some, so easy, and
sturdy.  It makes your books look more professional,
take a long at this video and tell me after you see it
you are not going to make it

Jane Davenport has these art lessons on youtube
short ones, where she uses all kinds of supplies,
I actually learned a lot watching them,

I took a course awhile back using muslin and painting
it to look like old world paintings, I have watched
these videos and they are just as good as the course
and they are free

A little of this and that

 

being drawing a lot lately just using markers

everyday I do some sort of drawing

It helps improve

today went with a friend to see Ricky and the Flash

with Meryl Streep and her daughter
not a bad movie, middle of the road.
the shopper and the husband have been sanding down the deck
getting ready to paint it
tomorrow is get my hair cut day
I know the excitement is over the top
I cant even stand to read what I have written
But one thing I did do I have wanted Posca markers forever
so I ordered them on Amazon.ca they come from
Japan, so a few weeks, I tried to get them all over but
cant find them anywhere else.



works in progress

These are all canvases in progress, just starting laying down the paint.

So no judgements.

1.  The map for the shopper and the boyfriend, once its all painted,

you will see my vision (lets hope so)

 

2.  that's on wood haven't quite decided the way I am going on that one.

 

3.  The lady looks a little full figured, well she is suppose to be,

that's my take on a woman on the beach, she will be wearing

a white swimming cap as well.

 

4.  The last one started with me laying down wall paper,

mistake number 1, then I added gesso, and then

started laying down the paint, now you see all those

bubbles, I don't know what I am going to do, I tried pin pricking,

not much happens, I might have to lay down some texture

so you don't see them, if you have any suggestions, let me know.

 

ok that's what I am working on now.
