Flying High {part 2}


I was busy yesterday painting this one in my brothers room, same one with the biplane from my last post! It took me a few hours to complete, and is worth about $60. The plane is a Spitfire, but I made it dark blue because that is my little brother's favorite colour! Airplanes are alot harder to draw then they look! I am also going to be doing another mural at my church in a couple weeks! So I am excited for that! I hope you like this second airplane!

Flying High


Hey there!
Today's painting is another mural I have done in my house! This one is in my little brothers room. I got the idea from a book I have on children's murals. To get the wings really straight and even I put painter's tape up there and painted between them! A LOT easier to do that way! The clouds were fun to do as well! I have a big sea sponge that works really well for clouds and trees! And texture on rocks and stuff! Hope you like it!

Pen{and}Ink


Hello! How is everyone this fine day?
Today's art is some Pen and Ink and watercolours. I sketch in the rough outline, then I use just a generic Sharpie pen to make all the little lines and dots, to give the illusion of fur. After I am done with the pen I put a watercolour wash over it. This is one of my favorite ways to draw! It always turns out looking really cool! These dogs were done for a woman at my church, they were about $30 each. I hope you like them!
