Autumn Girl

-


I decided to create an art journal so I could sketch and improve my drawing skills. I love Autumn and being inspired by Tamara Laporte and her Facebook page Willowing I decided to draw an Autumn girl.





After sketching my Autumn girl I simply coloured her in using Promarkers, her skin coloured was achieved by using the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. I used a black STABILO point 88 fine 0.4 pen for outlining and a white POSCA pen for highlighting.




After finishing her it inspired me to complete the other three seasons.

So it's Wednesday 7th April 2021 and I'm actually doing my next Blog Yea me.. One of the ranges I designed for Dolly Dimples was Under The Sea, Charmain did have a previous range called Under the Sea with art work by another artist.  I was asked to add further characters to this range. Once I started I basically couldn't stop, the character's kept coming which eventually created an extremely large collection.  The above is the line art I drew on A4 copier paper, the original  sketches are in a journal book that I can't seem to find at the moment, quite frustrating but I'm sure when I'm not looking for it, it will appear. The line art will be used to create the stamps. Once I have the line art finished I then scan it onto my computer and print onto mixed media card. Once printed I then set about colouring it in, this will then become the art work for the cover of the stamp sets.    The two stamp sets above are A4 so you can see from my drawing...

Using Sheena Douglas's new 'Create A Flower' dies and stencils I created the above canvas. Using Pebeo modeling paste over one of the stencils, allowing this to dry I then added Pebeo texture paste to the surface and added hessian for more texture. Simply using white card and the Crafter's Companion Gemini, I cut out the flowers and glued them to the canvas, once dry I painted the canvas with white Gesso. Allowing this to dry I then painted various parts of the canvas with matt Pebeo paint, then gilded with Pebeo gilding wax. I then painted three separate flowers and added them on top to finish the piece.
