Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be recommending a book that’s a little different than what I’ve been posting recently: Learn to draw in a weekend! Oh, and in case you were wondering why there was no Modest Monday post this week: since it was Independence Day, I was pretty busy and wasn’t able to write one. Hopefully I’ll be…
Hello! Today on Simply Saturday I’ll be sharing my latest art project: a four seasons painting. Let’s get started! What do I mean by a four seasons painting? Well, I divided this canvas into four sections. Each section (if everything works out like I’m planning 😉 ) will contain a painting using a reference photo from each of the four…
Today I’ll be a sharing a few photos of the process of personalizing a hand-bound book. Yes, I’ve never posted anything like this before, but that’s what Simply Saturdays are for! Here is the book in question. I should make it clear that I was not the one to do the binding. This is my brother’s copy of The Lord…
Today I’ll be sharing a little mixed media project I’m working on. I haven’t finished it yet, but I thought I’d share where I am in the process. Let’s get started! Pictured above is the image I’m working off of. I don’t really think my project will look very near to it, but it’s nice to having something to use…
As I’ve posted before, I’ve recently been interested in creating custom note cards. There’s an endless amount of variety that can be drawn onto a blank card. I’ve mostly been drawing (no pun intended 😉 ) inspiration from flowers, vines, leaves, etc. The two cards above are some that I finished already. Today I thought I’d take you through the…
Hello again! Today we’ll be taking a peak into one of the recently completed projects in my sketchbook. A week or so ago, I found a course on Craftsy that looked interesting. It was called Seven Days of Drawing, and it involved watching a short video everyday (well, in theory. Due to some busy days, I didn’t actually finish the…
…they have a tale to tell. 🙂 Today I have an interesting little project to share with you: how I hand lettered and painted a sign! This sign has been sitting above my grandma’s sink for as long as I can remember. One of my older sisters, Caroline, has been saying that she would like something very similar to it….
Hello again! Today I’m going to do something a little different: an overview of my art supplies! Let’s get started! This wooden box is where most of my art supplies are kept. It’s a good size, and I don’t have to worry about getting it dirty with the various messy items I use. Pictured above are most of the contents…
Hello! It’s Simply Saturday. Let’s get started! Recently, I’ve been thinking that I should use my artistic talents (such as they are) for more than a drawing or painting that sits in my closet and never sees the light of day. My latest idea in that area is, why not seriously pursue the possibility of making my own cards? Plus,…
