Over Christmas break

Yes I work at a school. I've had the past two weeks off. Besides reading, watching movies, Christmas shopping and wrapping gifts, I have worked many hours on ART.
Sculpture: I've been working on a paper pulp sculpture since November. Part one is now in the painting stage. Part two is still in the paper pulp stage. Part three is tiny but not yet started.
Drawings: I'm working on drawing out some of my mural or TSB ideas. Perhaps in your city they also have a program to paint the Traffic Signal Boxes. I have just completed my second 5 part drawing for TSB. I hope to connect with city officials in early 2017.  
Keep watching this page for final photos of these and other exciting work. Meanwhile check out my art for sale ~ https://www.etsy.com/shop/AuntieKathysArt

cameo

What do you do with those tiny 2 inch canvas?
Well I painted an old fashion cameo & lace of course.
I was given a bunch of these tiny canvas. A tiny art show is forthcoming. ;-)

Art Class @ Gerard Studio, Stutz Building

So this fall I was able to take a figure drawing class with my Stutz art family.

I 

I tried something new by doing values with color. This was a 5 minute sketch.

This is a complete drawing in just 20 minutes! 

This one is more about composition and foreshortening.

The classic reclining pose. 

I am the most proud of this one! The model performs with circus groups here in Indiana so her poses were twisty and a real challenge to draw. Again i tried the color and I really like the results. All in all I'd call this drawing a success. 

If you'd like to learn more about Gerard Studio classes please email me. I will send you the schedule. steelymarble@yahoo.com

Sea Horse

This painting is long overdue. I started it last winter, so January 2016. Hello December fridged weather, Let's finish the warm water creature.

The background is a fun blue green combo that I'm really in love with. The delicate lines of color, dots and bubbles tell you how awesome and fragile he really is. 8 x 10 canvas board. See Etsy for more details. So glad to finally share this little guy with you!

one of THOSE weeks

Ever have one of THOSE weeks? You know, the week where NOTHING happens creatively? That was my week.
So I was determined to get something accomplished this weekend. I have decorated the Christmas tree, and the house. AND I just finished our wedding photo scrapbook!
With these organizational/ creative tasks out of the way I am ready to get back to drawing and painting.
