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.
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.
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?
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.
