New drawing

Tested out my new pencils! Im so happy to be drawing again, it took me so long to get back to the stage I comfortable with. Anyway this was done with Derwent Studio colours. It's a little off focus because I couldn't get a scanned copy on my computer.

Arwen from Lord Of The Rings.

Progress

Got to get myself an actual HD camera. This is a progress shot of the siren painting that I'm currently doing. I haven't thought of a name, but there's a high chance that I might consider selling it when its completed. It's currently about 1/10 finished so there's still a lot more work to be done on it. So far I haven't had any major problems that I have had to fix. I'm excited to see what It will look like when I have completed it.

Painting

 Haven't painted anything in watercolour for such a long time that I need to work on my skills again. Need more water colour paper so that I can practice different shapes and textures. I miss painting with this so I'm going to start up again. Painting two artworks for some people I know at the moment in watercolour, hopefully they turn out good. 

Drawings

Just some of my designs, trying to work on some more stuff and get my skills up o scratch.

Drawing makes me happy

This is a portrait done entirely in charcoal and white pastel. Its is of the lovely Z. You can find them on through the link tentaclesandteacups. I have to keep practicing on portraits of people since I haven't been doing any lately. So this is number one.

Portfolio

Some artworks I have chosen for my portfolio. I have two interviews at different Universities in 3 weeks, may as well get stuff ready before then.

Update on my BOW!!!!

 

SOOOO, I haven't exactly posted anything here in quite a while, I have been so damn busy with other stuff plus my internet working only when it wants to, but here is a small update on the major painitng for my BOW. All the peices are due in about 4 weeks and Im starting to get really nervous, hopefully I manage to be able to pull this all off and get decent marks for my HSC. I have another full painting to go. Plus the sculpture piece, which alone may take up at least 10 hours.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Wax flowers!

So there all painted and ready get a dose of silver added to them, first wax flowers I have ever made, pretty awesome though. I have another 10 to make and I'll be set.

Wax flowers!!

Posted this on facebook already, but its needs to be here too.
It took me 5 whole hours to make these two flowers made from wax. They are extremely brittle and delicate, so I don’t know how I’m going to go about making them safe on my artwork when they get sent off in August for marking. I have another 17 of these babies to make, then to spray paint them with black enamel and finish them off with silver leafing around the petals’ edges. It really is time consuming, but in the long run will be so worth it.

Body of work will consist of:

• 7-9 paintings
• 15 ‘melting’ wax clocks ( including motors so that they work)
• 17 of these flowers
• 1 carved/scratched/embossed aluminum sheet.

School, school and more school. This is really tiring. Tomorrow I have a meeting discussing about what Scholarships I can get. I need to apply before the end of this month, some require a Portfolio on a CD so I have to figure out how I'm going to go about that. School has a strike Friday 1st and 2nd period, so that means no school for me, and I miss out on two hours of art practical work that should be used toward my BOW, but nope they have to take away my lessons. Next Friday I have no school either 'cause of some carnival; this means 4 hours of practical time  have gone down the drain and I have to somehow figure a way to make that up. Tomorrow I have an update on the wax works + paintings as a whole, because I would appreciate peoples opinions on the progress

Fun!

spray painting in the backyard is always fun. I'm only just starting my sculpture piece to my body of work. It needs to by painted black before I can start to jigsaw pieces of it out. I'm doing in at home because If I did it at school they would get the wood work class to do it for me cause 'I have no idea what I'm doing' pfffft I can do it on my own thankyou. My hands are slightly spotted because it windy as at the moment, beautiful Autumn weather to be outside soaking up the sun.

Paint that Im using is Galmet metal protection, it technically is a paint made for use on metal BUT I love how glossy the finishing touch is on wood, so I'm using it regardless.

First layer

First layer of BOW painting #3 out of 7. its looking good so far, what do you guys think of it?

Random doodling

Just doodling around. I need some aida to stitch these ^.^

Eye

Going to stitch this onto something, not sure yet what it is though. Maybe a pillow case.

SNEAK PEEK

I'm sketching out something at the moment (not quite finished as you can see) that I'm possibly going to be selling once I finish and get it framed. I need to get more sketch pens though since I ran out. I'm hoping to get somewhere around $50 dollars for it. I don't know how I'm going to go about selling it, so It might be to Sydney buyers only for now.

Tote bags

I'm going through with my idea on making a store on etsy. I've decided I'm going to experiment a bit first with tote bags. I have two designs that I'm going to use transfer paper to print on backgrounds and embroider the rest of the of it on.

Artworks on clothes

I really dislike how my skin is lately. It's so unhealthy. I need to go on a proper diet and eat foods that are good for me instead of all the junk I usually eat.

I'm going to start printing things on clothes and selling them on etsy so I can start earning a bit of money. Maybe look into getting some polymer clay supplies and making charms and jewellery also with my designs.  I'm not sure if anyone would actually buy anything, but Ill probably do a giveaway on tumblr to promote it and stuff.


Certains de mes oeuvres, je n'aurais jamais envisager d'afficher sur les vêtements, principalement en raison de la signification derrière eux. Même si ils ont regardé une bonne, je ne pouvais pas le faire.

Art

There’s a reason I don’t post most of the stuff I do like this one on any blogs, mainly because these are unintentional artworks. They’re created when I’m angry or upset and usually lend up destroyed in the process. I’m usually surprised at what they end up looking like.

So I'm still working on my BOW (body of work) Its taking so long to do the little things

Je suis si fatigué de cela, je veux être capable de terminer maintenant

Thinking of digitally editing:
I did this painting around mid last year, its watercolour on paper of an octopus and an anchor. I was considering digitally editing it and printing it on a shirt or something.
