A Lesson in Frustration With (Hopefully) a Happy Ending – Still Not Sure… | Illo-Talk

The Adventures of an Artist, Writer, and Mom…Balancing the Blessings of Work and Family. A Lesson in Frustration With (Hopefully) a Happy Ending – Still Not Sure…. May 16, 2014. Original Illustration Friday offering. This project has taken me on a rather bumpy ride! Started it – didn’t like the teacher character – it became a study…. In the end, what I thought was a final turned out to be a study (and, yes! Love her work) and Lauren Rille of Simon and Schuster. Mr. Grumpy. Did I Say I Was Done? Fill in y...

The Adventures of an Artist, Writer, and Mom…Balancing the Blessings of Work and Family. This Is a Job For…. April 26, 2014. I’m having a love-hate experience with my recently shared project. It’s not going quite the way I want it to. I want it to be a completed piece for the portfolio, but I’m realizing that it’s another study. Redo time…again…. So, what do you do when you’re frustrated with a project? Escape to the joy of the sketchbook doodle. A Blast From the Past. Did I Say I Was Done?

The Adventures of an Artist, Writer, and Mom…Balancing the Blessings of Work and Family. August 30, 2014. The mural at its permanent home…. It’s been a long time in storage while it was decided where the mural would go, but “Celebrate the Harvest of Santa Maria” is in place! Between the Santa Maria Natural History Museum and the Paul Nelson Pool, and across from the Main Library. Hopefully, this will just be the beginning of many more murals in our community!

The Will To Draw: Pastels
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015/04/pastels.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. If you are like me, you enjoy experimenting with different mediums. I decided to try using soft pastels after watching Lynn Chapman. All in all it was quite enjoyable, and I plan to do more in the future. Below is the video of Lynn creating an illustration in pastels. Posted by Tom Barrett. Hey Tom, nice illustration. When I was in art school we used spray fixative to keep the dust down, and create hard edges. Glad to see you are still drawing, and blogging. 8/1/15, 12:51 PM.
The Will To Draw: July 2014
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Yes, though it may seem that I have once again left the blog-o-sphere, I am still here. I have recently found the time and will to begin working on some art, albeit small and quick and a bit messy. I say messy as I did not stretch or tape the watercolor paper prior to working on it, which makes it a bit difficult to work on the more it curls! I can already tell a difference in my attitude since I started back, so I am looking forward to doing more. Posted by Tom Barrett.

The Will To Draw: February 2015
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. I had hoped to have this more completed before posting, but alas, the day job has to take precedence. Anyway, it is complete enough that that you get the idea. At the top is my initial thumbnail, and on the left is me trying to get the boys' hands correct (hands and hair still give me trouble). My goal is to complete this, along with others, in time for the Don Freeman Grant. Deadline (getting really close). Prayers and encouragement always welcomed! Posted by Tom Barrett.
