Twelve!

Playing with colored pencils this time...

The creativity trickles in...

Three more faces for the challenge. I am finding that I am in the middle of my own challenge, and that is to actually create every day. That's not happening as I would like, since other things that need to get done NOW or close to now seem to get in the way. I think today I'll take a few blank ACEO cards with me along with a handful of markers and see what happens

Faces 4 and 5 - the challenge continues!

2 more faces for the challenge - working with some colored pencils this time.

Portraits 2 and 3

I've doubled up this morning - here are number 2 and 3.  I used the same markers (Prisma and Copic ) but a different type of paper. Much smoother - I liked the way the markers responded much better.
I promise these ladies did not plan to wear almost the exact same thing LOL ;)

Portrait No. 1

The first portrait for 29 faces is complete!
This was done in artist markers on watercolor paper - ACEO

In which Art Squirrels Scamper Through my Head...

So I sat down last night with a handful of art supplies, thinking that I would create something like this:

I

And instead ended up with

 

I'm not quite sure what happened there, or what the squirrels in my head have been eating. I'm pretty okay with how the surprise art turned out, but I really wish I could create what I set out to do every single time.

Somehow my ideas get lost in my brain or on the way to my fingers ( maybe they get lost in my arm??)

So, tonight I'm getting out the pile o' art things again - who knows what will happen! Maybe I'll set out to draw a miniature landscape and end up with a five legged horse. Which would be quite possible because I can't draw horses worth beans.

Small wonders

 

 

Small format art, or SFA, includes any work measuring no greater than 14 inches, or 35.6 centimeters, in either direction. These miniature masterpieces are an enjoyable and affordable way to bring art into your home, either as additions to your decor or as part of a new or growing art collection.

As an artist, I love using my imagination to create little scenes that will fit on an ACEO,

 

or a 2" x 2" canvas.

 

Little works of art such as these can be displayed as a whole collection on a shelf, or matted and framed together on a wall in your living room. I hope the miniature scenes you've scene here have struck your fancy or have peaked your interest, and that soon you'll have your own little SFA collection!
