The Smiths (canvas)

I painted this in acrylics and used the usual black and white chalk markers for the outline.It is a gift for my littlest sister who turns 16 in forty minutes....Happy Birthday Ruby !
She did like 'Bring Me The Horizon' but now shes all about 'The Smiths'. So i i combined some references to them also adding  Ruby's name and soon to be age on the front of peoples tshirts.
Hope  she likes it :)

Mixed Media Knitting & Painting Exhibition

The past 3 months I and my dear friend Penelope Teapot have been working on ideas for an art exhibition.Which we hopefully would like to see happening by the end of this year.Sara is the best knitter and crafter i have ever met.You should follow her from the link above.
The exhibition is to be a mixed media of painted canvases and textile ie knitting, crochet, sewing etc.We had this idea to attach fabric and knitted things to the canvas.For example the finished picture i painted of Sara Teapot, which is actually an acrylic painted version of the same picture i painted in coffee a few months back (check older posts)..In the picture she has her hands up knitting a scarf.So we came up with this idea to replace the painting of the knitted scarf with an actual knitted scarf still on the knitting needles which could be glued to the canvas.Then using another canvas i can draw the hands and cut them out and have them holding the needles.So basically its an acrylic painting of Sara Teapot knitting a real scarf...cool idea amirite?

So we decided on some colors .These were chosen by Sara.As we both new we wanted pastel colors so it was just a matter of which ones Sara felt inspired to knit with.She decided on pink, blue and cream.Or as i call them "kawaii ice cream colors'.

So Pretty :)

                                                 

 

This is what you call professional tension

                     
This is the portrait that this beautiful example of professional crafting will be attached to.

Step1: pencil sketch and first layer of skin tone

Step2: Building up the skin and hair color and tone

I always leave the eyes till last.As adding the eyes is when a painting becomes alive.

Step4: Buy a new camera :S

Step5: seriously...new camera !

Step 6 : Give Life

We have since changed our idea so that now I am to paint another portrait.this time of my self.and the knitted scarf will hang down to this canvas either underneath or at the side of,and be wrapped round my portraits neck.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates and creations for this exhibition.Eventually we are hoping to be selling all of it.
Thanks

Untitled Canvas

This is a painting I'm not sure ill ever finish.Not because its going to take ages but just because I've sort of lost interest in it.Its hanging on the wall in my bedroom.I hoped seeing it 90% complete would encourage me to finish it.But it hasn't so far.I've sort of gone off it a bit too.I prefer the original digital image.But that could be something to do with it being unfinished.I feel like I've lost the mind set i was in when i stared it and now it feels like a chore to come back to it.
Anyways i suppose blogs are for things the user is working on as well as completed.So look at this as a 'work in progress' that Isn't getting worked on and hasn't progressed :P

This was the original digital image I drew on Iscribble, the online drawing tool.

 

The site is fun to use and i enjoy being able to collaborate with other users as well as just socialize.

This picture started out as lots of random doodles on a purple background, which I sort of put order to and at the end and made into a whole.I did not at the time intend to paint it with real paint.It was basically just a doodle that evolved and turned into something and as far as i was concerned was done and dusted.Only recently have i thought to paint some of my digital drawings in acrylics.ie the Forest scene.I decided to go with acrylics and marker pens to achieve that street art look that the digital picture has.
This is the first time I've bothered to take photos of my progress through out the creation of a painting.I only wish i had more than one follower to appreciate it.Thanks Sara Teapot <3

The Working Space

So this is were i get most of my work done.I'm either sitting on my sofa drawing with my tablet pen amidst a mess of tobacco and empty coffee cups.Or sitting on the floor next to the fire (on 1 bar) painting canvases, surrounded by an array of painting and drawing instruments and paraphernalia.
I guess in an ideal world I would like to have all my bits and bobs in tidy drawers laid out all neat in rows, for me to find things more easily.But to be quite honest there has never been a time where i haven't been able to find something.There can be order within a mess, art alone proves this.

Wooden Craft Box

I bought this wooden tool box for £8 at a local shopping center (Lidl) They have selection of brick-a-brack crap down the middle aisle.Which i always enjoy looking through for bits i might be able to make art out of.They actually do really cheap canvases there too.Which I've had before.
Anyway i got this box and decided it would make a great place for my crafty friend to store all her wool,needles, threads, beads crochet hooks and about a million other things that were at the time scattered across her craft desk.I painted this design in acrylic paint and used a black chalk marker (Poska) for the outline.I'm very proud of how it turned out, and my friend seemed to be pleased with it.

Pretty Girl Gets Angry

I might eventually make this into a small 30 second silent animation.The story being that 'Sara Teapot' gets angry because she can't find her glasses.Then we join her through the vast jungle of clothes and wool located in her and around her bedroom, as she attempts to find them.
