"Loreley"

"And the winds would cry, and many men would die, and all the waves would bow down to the Loreley" - Blackmore's Night

Fine liner (0.05, 0.8) on 150gsm paper

Finally after a year of school work I managed to just sit down and do some personal drawing. It was a nice break from painting. Tafe work to be uploaded soon.  

Watercolour Work in Progress

Thought I might add an update since it's been a while. Fully completed works coming soon. (Hopefully)

Painting Progress; 'The Maiden and the Selkie'

My previous school project of 'Labyrinth' isn't finished but we had to switch to a new project. This one is based on the song 'The Maiden and the Selkie' by Heather Dale. There's still a lot to do but I just like looking at the progress of her face. This is a comparison of the first day spent painting it and todays 'redo'.


 

Signing artwork.

I always get confused as to how I should sign my artwork. For some things I put my signature, others like paintings (on canvas or board) I write out my full name, and for a series of small illustrations I'm currently doing I write  only my first initial and my last name in full. I never know if there's a correct way to sign art. Are you meant to stick to just one signature or are you able to write it however you like? Hmm...

Forest Guardian

'Forest Guardian'

Photoshop CS5

Some comic/illustrative work. It's nice to take a break from the 'fine art' side of things and just do something you really enjoy. Not to say I don't love painting. I think I need to add something to this still. But I'm happy with the outcome.

She guards the forest and speaks the language of the trees. Their souls and mana are one.

Painting progress; School project 2.

Second painting of the year for 2nd yr of Tafe. Thought I'd actually upload some progress. We had to pick our favourite book, movie and a found object and combine them into one image. So far, only about 25% of my image is done, if that. But here's an update anyway.

Update + photo

So I'm not even sure if anyone really looks at this blog, but I like to update it when I can. I know I should update more but life get's in the way and I've never been very good with organization. Busy with school and trying to sort out...stuff. But I wanted to upload this photo I took using my iPhone on the way to school a month or so ago. As soon as I saw it it made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too.

Thank you to whomever it was who drew this on the St Georges Rd bike path.
