Aaron Paquette Journal: Mist on the Mountainside

http://aaronpaquette.blogspot.com/2011/02/mist-on-mountainside.html

Wednesday, February 02, 2011. Mist on the Mountainside. Mist on the Mountainside. Digital (iPhone Brushes App). Here's a quick piece I created on my iPhone using the Brushes App. I'm actually a closet watercolourist but still working on my skills. I found the interface easy to use but the screen 'real estate' far too small. This is what would prompt me toward an iPad, creating quick sketches in full colour any time any place. In the years that have passed, I see now that the mountains were my cure for a ...

Aaron Paquette Journal: Sketchy!

http://aaronpaquette.blogspot.com/2011/02/sketchy.html

Thursday, February 03, 2011. Mama - In Progress. Ink and Graphite on Paper. Today I thought I'd share with you a work in progress. I draw, but rarely consider the drawings a finished work of art. I'm trying to overcome that self imposed bias. I'm thinking about adding a few washes of colour to this piece once the inking is complete. In working on a few pieces like this lately Ive found I've had to let go of the crutch of colour and paint (which it really can become! Am I being honest enough? Well, let's ...

Aaron Paquette Journal: All You Amazing People!

http://aaronpaquette.blogspot.com/2011/03/all-you-amazing-people.html

Monday, March 14, 2011. All You Amazing People! I want to ask you something. Over the years I've been asked to give personal art lessons. Instead I've been going to schools, doing workshops, and using my art as both a teaching tool and as a way to promote cooperation in communities. For me art has not just been about painting a picture, but something I feel is far more important. Art has been my path to reach a deeper understanding of what it takes to be successful both professionally and personally.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Gretel Parker - Her First Book! I have an online artist friend named Gretel Parker. We ran into each other (digitally, at least) many years ago and have been supportive fans of each other the whole time. I am so very proud of her as she has just released her first book, "Mrs. Mouse's Cupcakes, a Puddletown Tale". If you are not familiar with Gretel Parker's artwork. Prepare yourself for whimsy and delight. Her work has never failed to make me smile. And I think you'll smile, too!

Aaron Paquette Journal: iPad 2 - Creation Tool

http://aaronpaquette.blogspot.com/2011/03/ipad-2-creation-tool.html

Saturday, March 26, 2011. IPad 2 - Creation Tool. Well, I finally did it. I broke down and got the iPad 2. It's amazing. I've seen it in stores, I've clicked the little icons, but something about owning one, customizing it, making it your very own. So of course, one of the first things I did was draw. What I've found is that contrary to what I've been hearing, I'm actually not that interested in watching movies or YouTube, I'm just right in there wanting to create, create, create!

Aaron Paquette Journal: Northern Pastoral

http://aaronpaquette.blogspot.com/2011/02/canadian-pastoral.html

Monday, February 07, 2011. Mixed Media on Canvas. This is a painting for my wife's sister. Included are her husband, their little baby and their even littler pup. She is beckoning from the distance and above it all is the spirit of their grandfather, a happy man in life, and even more satisfied now seeing how amazing his grandchildren have become. There is sweetgrass burning at the bottom of the painting in constant thanks, prayer and purification. If youre concerned with the price, you may also think ab...
