http://sketchesfromthecupboardunderthestairs.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 11, 2014. Baby in Graphite WIP 4. Such a tremendous change in temperature around here, I can honestly say that it is chilly outside. My time has been split between working on my Hummingbird quilt. While the real ones fight at the feeder outside my window). After a little lifting of graphite- more blending- more lifting etc. etc., here is where the eye is at currently. A little more definition and some highlights to the lashes are needed,. But it is getting closer to completion. ;).

Sketches from the Cupboard Under the Stairs: June 2015

http://sketchesfromthecupboardunderthestairs.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 28, 2015. Inexpensive Art Purchase and New WIP. What did they expect for 14 bucks? Sometimes simplicity and light cheap wood can be the answer for tired arms in the evening. So, I placed my order for one. And here it is. Keeping with the light weight theme). Into a rectangle and painted it black to mount my work to. The dimensions of the easel are 13 1/4 x 10 inches. Perfect size for a lot of my work. :). I found it sturdy for my sketching and will test it later with filling and blending.

Sketches from the Cupboard Under the Stairs: March 2014

Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Anne Hatheway WIP 6. After finishing most of the facial features, I started feeling like the reason for attempting this portrait had been met. Well. not completely. I am sure there were several occasions when she would have loved to smack me upside the head, especially since she had a daughter that was just like me. ;). Like criticism to make an artist grow.

Sunday, January 11, 2015. Baby in Graphite WIP 8. I am moving right along on the little guy. Amazing how much work can get done by just setting a little time aside to relax and draw. ;).

Sketches from the Cupboard Under the Stairs: A Little History of Me

http://sketchesfromthecupboardunderthestairs.blogspot.com/p/my-complete-profile.html

A Little History of Me. Welcome to my blog! My name is Brenda, and I am an artist living in a small rural town in Northern Illinois (population 425). My earliest memories of art involve a newsprint sketchpad and attempting to freehand a drawing of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer out of a Golden Book. Pretty much all of my early art involved cartoons. Lifelike Portraits from Photographs. Little did I know, those graphs would be the building blocks for rendering photographic realism in the art world. My art...

Sketches from the Cupboard Under the Stairs: February 2015

http://sketchesfromthecupboardunderthestairs.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Baby in Graphite Finished. Great in a photograph- distracting for a graphite portrait. So, I let his left arm become less defined as it projects toward the viewer. It gives some depth to the composition and leads the eye to the main focus of the face. My final challenge on this piece resides in the completion of it. Just look at this little guy. How do you get over the cuteness? This can only be lessened by starting a new adventure. So, I will move on to a new beginning. A Lit...

Wild Australian Art: February 2012

http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 26, 2012. After labouring over the rock wall in the early stages of this piece then having few opportunities to make progress over recent weeks, it was a welcome indulgence today as I took time out from rejuvenating our newly-acquired house and garden to turn my attention - prematurely perhaps - to the primary subject of the painting. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Email: peter.brown56@gmail.com. Perth, Western Australia. Having lived or travelled throughout much of Western Australia, I hav...

Wild Australian Art: April 2012

http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 15, 2012. Memories of a Special Place. These words and photographs are several years old, but with thoughts of Western Australia's Yardie Creek drifting into my consciousness with increasing frequency of late, it seems perfectly reasonable to revisit them. I hope you'll forgive this little indulgence! By the time we're forced to leave by the encroaching darkness, most of the creek's inhabitants have taken up station for the night. Noisy mangrove herons are often present among the mangro...
