A blog post for all the art I have made in over a year.
Art I Made In 2020 – 2021
Category: Uncategorized
Projects I Have Been Doing
With my local Art Trail, and other arty and crafty things I have been doing, it’s been very nice. I have learnt a lot about digital art, and using watercolour paint, and gouache paint.
The first project was making a card for my best friend in the US, and cards for an actor she was going to see in a play. I scanned backing papers I purchased, which is an ongoing job, and purchased some digital papers, and images.
Though I forgot to take a picture of my friends card, I do have some of the digital work I used to make the card.
Then was my dad’s birthday, I had a design I had made in my folder, and I wanted to make this for my dad for ages. So I scanned the picture onto my computer, and used my graphics program to make a digital hand drawn version, following the lines, and adding little details from digital pictures I purchased. I hope to be able to make my own digital images, so I do not have to use someone else’s. I also made a card from the dog, which I purchased the backing papers, and picture of a Chinese Crested powder puff, which is the breed my dog is. He thoroughly loved them.
My latest is for the local Art Trail, which is about the Wonder in Art And Science. I thought about this a lot, and came up with the idea of doing The Northern Lights, and Penicillin. I decided I wanted to make digital and water colour versions of the pictures, as I wanted to show how doing art on the computer can be a Wonder too.
Lastly. I used the left over paint from the Art Trail pictures to make these two pictures, which my mum thoroughly loves. They were mainly made from red, yellow, and pinks mixed together with other paints, and the three colours combined together.
New Artings And Craftins
These are Artings and Craftings I have done throughout the months, I wanted to display.
Cards I made for my therapist, we finished therapy, and I wanted to thank her for all her help. She was also pregnant, and I wanted to send her a nice card for the baby.
Some pictures I made years ago for Christmas cards.
Flowers I have sketched at my art group, from references in books. As well as using a protractor, and just messing around with it for a while.
Some people I sketched from book references, and practising drawing faces.
Landscapes I have sketched and also tried to improve the landscaped I had made for the exhibition.
Backgrounds I have made for cards on the computer, I want to improve these massively, and make them a little more polished.
Mandala’s I have made on the computer program I have, using the mirror tool that splits into 16 lines. I love making these, I really want to make some more.
My Pictures In Their Picture Frames
I finally printed the pictures I made for the exhibition my Art Group are doing. The pictures were printed on printable canvas paper I found on the internet, and had no idea it existed. The frames I bought online from The Range, I chose all different kinds, and I have some left over for some pictures I want to print for my family, as well as to sell next year on Etsy or Ebay.
I know these will probably not sell, but at least i know I worked hard on these, and my mum said she would put them up on the walls if they don’t. But it would be nice to get some money for my Art Group so we can continue to run, and to make more art in the future.
The Pictures I Am Going To Put In An Art Exhibition For My Art Group
These are the pictures I plan to show and sell at the Art Exhibition I am doing with my Art Group, which the subject was nature. I really enjoyed making these, and I learnt a lot about all the different brushes and techniques you can use.
I would really like to do more drawings, and learn more.
My Picture For An Art Exhibition
This is my picture I drew of a beach shop, which I am going to be putting in an exhibition being run by my art group to raise money for equipment and keeping the group going. It is not complete yet, I want to add some glass window designs for the shop windows, and tidy it up a bit ready to printed and framed.
I hope to put more in, and it sells well. As I would be very sad if the group had to end, the group has saved my life. I know I would have done something drastic if I had not had the group, and met so many lovely people, as well as being able to enjoy doing some thing I love doing.
Wheel Made By Lines And 16 Mirrors
Made this with Sketchbook symmetry lines, with the emoji, where I used the lines to try and a medallion type picture that I thought would like to put on cards, or decoration for a tree.
I like doing these kinds of things, I have got a lot of inspiration from listening to Bob Ross videos, and other artists on YouTube.
I hope to make videos of learning how to make pictures, in a let’s play style, where people can see that not all artists are brilliant, and boy am I not brilliant. But you can enjoy art, and give new techniques a try. Thinking of doing the same thing while making cards too, and other sorts of arts too.
I Hope that would be okay?
Gus The Cat, The Art Group Mascot
Gus the Cat is, is a cat that comes into our art room when there is an art group. He is a lovely cat, very funny and has a great personality. I am making these picture using Gus to sell on cards to help raise funds for my art group, so we can get more equipment and go trips to museums and other places.
I am going to make these toppers for cards, and I am also going to be making a other gifts too. I have these on Deviant Art for sale, https://princessmunchkin1983.deviantart.com .
Beach picture
A picture of the scanned picture of the beach I have drawn, I am practicing to get better so I am able to make money for my Hub.
It took me 5 hours to do, and I tried to use more brushes to make the details for parts.
A Plate Design
This is my plate design that I made in my art group, it was for a small competition we had.
Yesterday the competition was judged, and I won for my design.
