Arting And Crafts From 2019 And 2020
Sorry for the lateness, I will try and do better
These are some icons I have started creating for all my blogs that are connected to Perfectlyfaded and Perfectlyjaded. I am hoping they will represent the brand I am working on for business.
This is the Christmas picture for the Christmas card I made for my mum and dad. I traced around a card I scanned into the computer, and then used my own interpretation as to what I was going to use.
I also scanned some backing papers to use on sentiments and borders.
My parents absolutely loved this, they were telling me to make them into cards to sell. Not sure if I should or not, but am hoping to one day have my own Artings and Craftings business so let’s see.
These are some sketches I made at home and at my art group. I think I am getting better, but I don’t think I will ever be a portrait drawings. Maybe cartoon people, but not real life drawings.
These are cards I made for my mum for Mother’s day from me and the dog. I used some free backing papers and images from the Hunky Dory website, and tried to make them look a bit different. I might try to use the pictures for drawing my own birds to place as toppers, and see how that goes.
These are some Father’s Day cards I made for my dad, from me and the dog. It is a mixture of 2 different digital papers and toppers I brought from Etsy. I love making the double borders, with backing papers and using the different effects.
I really enjoyed doing these watercolour gouache painting, I have been doing these on A6 postcard watercolour sheets I bought from CassArt.
These have all come from my own imagination, using all the colours I have on the pallets, so I am not wasting paint, as these paints are expensive.
I am hoping to use these as pictures for my business, and get better with watercolour painting.
I hope I will be more productive, or at least keep productive and remember to actually make a post here for you all to see.
Thank you.
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.
