slipcover: One simple, one fussy
http://theslipcover.blogspot.com/2015/07/one-simple-one-fussy.html
One simple, one fussy. Sunday's prompt was "fall." People interpreted it in various ways- everything from sky-diving out of a plane to autumn foliage, and even the "fall" of Adam and Eve. (! I wasn't sure what to choose, but I haven't drawn any book illustrations lately, so I searched Goodreads for books with the word "fall" in the title and was reminded of this new one from Ally Carter, the first of a new series set on "Embassy Row" in London. I liked her book Heist Society. 9x9, LePen and watercolor.

EdiM #9: Reading Log. I keep saying I've done the last illustration for Teen Summer Reading, and then I realize there's just one more… I started getting my teen volunteers mobilized to label and stuff the "swag bags" we give away when we register the teens, and realized that the one thing I forgot to design and print to go in them is the Reading Log. Some came out well, and some not so much (there is a lot of Photoshop Elements retouching of little skinny letters here! I'm going to call this my EdiM #9, ...

Every day in whatever month this is. I dropped the ball with Every Day in May because of the painting for Daryl, but then discovered Every Day in June. So I've been giving those a shot, rather sporadically. I haven't shared anything here lately, so here are a few in a row:. Shell game"—because I'm feeling snail-like in my progress! Music"—another view of the jukebox. Clean sweep"—a quick 5-minute sketch while waiting at the car dealership. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Impressions of Italy: Pigeons. 19 Jun...

I have never been an on-location (en plein air) painter. Most of my work is done on the table inside my screened-in back patio, and on the rare occasion I have drawn something on location, I always bring the drawing back to the house and paint it afterwards. But all the fabulous pictures being posted by everyone who went to the Urban Sketchers Symposium. Is the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church on the corner of Moorpark and Lankershim. My intention was to do a Nina Johansson. Style panorama of the ent...

The evening of the day I finished the drawing, I couldn't resist going in with a few washes and colors, working for about an hour more, and then went to bed. Boy, was I sorry the next morning, when I saw that the color choices that looked good in low artificial light were not quite the right tints in the light of day! Season 2 for the evening. My first idea was a plain smooth wash of some neutral color, but then I thought, it's Steampunk, it's Victorian, why not do something daring? I consulted a few art...

http://chopsticksandstring.blogspot.com/2013/03/im-staying-put-for-this-one.html
Chopsticks and String is the sister site to The Marmelade Gypsy and features mostly book reviews (and a few other random thoughts along the way! Sunday, March 10, 2013.

When Wanderers Cease to Roam: A Journal of Staying Put" by Vivian Swift may be my favorite book of the decade. Period. I know, we're only a few years in. But so far.

slipcover: 13 July: Stones
http://theslipcover.blogspot.com/2015/07/13-july-stones.html
Every Day in July. S challenge today was " stones. My mind immediately went to stepping stones, so I went looking for a photo that was as close as I could get to what I was picturing in my head; I have trouble drawing just from imagination, and need something concrete to step off from, pun intended. I documented this one in three stages: drawing, partial painting, finished painting. Here is the drawing:. And here is the partial painting:. July 14, 2015 at 11:34 AM.
