JacketFlap tags: sloppy, texture, pencil, woman, tooth, values, drawing, tree, palm frond, Add a tag
If you recall, I'd completed and study for my summer tree/woman and was well on my way into a "final" version. I thought it would go quickly - and the initial drawing did - but, I really got stuck on some things.
First of all, I did the study on a different paper than the one I'm using for this series. It was a very smooth texture while the final has a bit more tooth. It's always a bit of an adjustment, getting used to the different result. But, the hardest part was that it was more difficult to get extreme darks that came so easily in the study because of the texture - the white of the paper shows through, lightening whatever value I put down.
I also struggled with the palm fronds, for some reason. They came together so easily in the study - not so for the drawing that followed. And then, I realized that I had really confined myself to almost only B-range pencils. I really didn't use the the lighter values that I like to use in my drawings. I flashed back to a college drawing class - I'd spent weeks on a poster-sized detailed still life and the professor commented that it appeared to consist mostly one value. When I realized that, I started erasing to see if I could fix it, and this resulted in dirty, smudgy-looking work (not consistant with the other drawing in this series and rather sloppy for the subject matter).
So, much to my chagrin, I knew that this second drawing was not a final but another study. There were elements in both drawings that I've taken and put into what will hopefully be the final drawing. This time, I've started by laying down my light values - 4H, 2H, and HB - on the palm fronds. I'll insert more dark shadows where needed, but I'm in the building of values stage. This will take some time, depending on how much time I can carve out in the next few days.
In the meantime, I will continue to chip away at the mess of toys, shoes, and family stuff that always seems to pile up too quickly. I'm teaching our writing co-op tomorrow - it's my turn and it's research paper time.

Hi everybody! This is one of the images I used on my Christmas card this year. It was the outworking of an image I did for Illustration Friday. I can't tell you how many changes this went through to become this, but it was a lot!
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for visiting our IFK site and blog!

I partook of The Enchanted Kettle and before I knew it I had delivered a fresh Moon to the Hawaiians. Unfortunately the islands were abandoned: the inhabitants had been severely traumatised by reading Tales Told to Polish Children. Several queer and lowly creatures carried my brushes away.

My challenge here was the splash. I originally started using cerulean blue and was horrified - blech! Switching to ultramarine was much better...but, wait a minute! I didn't try pthalo. Might have to try that tomorrow.
Another thing I started was a study of a tree - the type of tree that will go in panels 1 and 2. This is especially challenging because it's a truck load of green, green, and more green. I have 3 different greens in the hillside and another 3 (or more) greens that make up the tree. I'm having to find ways to create contrast, even though in the reference pictures that I'm using, it does blend together at times. I need to work on it a bit and work out the kinks.
I think I have a studio guest at night. I'm not sure, but I think it might be this guy:
I've heard him rustling around here and there. I suppose we can share the space for now...so long as he doesn't start using my paints.

I'm hoping to start work on it tonight while it's all fresh in the memory. However, I spent the day at the park with the kids (all day...without sunscreen), and now I'm really tired. There's something about spending time in the sun that just drains all energy from you. Hopefully, I'll get a second wind.

i have had this painting done for about a month now, but i wanted to wait until closer to march and st. paddy's day to list it FOR SALE AS A PRINT HERE:
it was inspired by a friend of mine's little girl (named thea) who was born on st. paddy's day. is she irish? heck NO! 110% polish as a matter of fact;) and she is actually blonde, but i wanted to paint a cute little red head, so.....
besides, who says leprechauns always have to be boys ;)
speaking of "red heads", i'm working on November's mermaid this week, little Citrine. not exactly a red head, but close enough.
check back for pics.....

I recently finished working with Alana Dakos on her newest book, "Botanical Knits." The patterns are inspired from plants, trees, leaves, etc. I love the designs (as always when looking at Alana's stuff) and once again wish I had the physical dexterity to knit.
Working with Alana (see also "Coastal Knits" and "Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf") is really great because there is a lot of room for exploration. For example, she gave me several photos of her knits...
...along with images that inspired her to create the patterns. Then essentially said, "here is what I created, now you create something." So I did.
If you have the book you could play a fun "Where's Waldo" trying to find where some of the illustrations ended up. The interesting thing for me is to see what made it into the book (of course not all do) and where.
Alana also asked me to design the title. Always a fun challenge. She wanted something natural, rustic, with tall letters, almost like they are growing. So here are some examples I came up with.
But ultimately this style was the winner (see above cover).
Another interesting request was for the resource page. She knitted little leaves out of the fabric she used for the knits in the book, and used those as reference for where she got the yarn. Photos of the knitted leaves were eventually placed onto an illustration of a tree branch. You can get an idea for it from the color studies. You will have to buy the book to see how it all really comes together. :)

A slight re-working of an old illustration. I dropped the temperature on the thermometer and added his breath-cloud. Or whatever that’s called.

in january...;)
i have been working on this illo/painting for the past few days. it was inspired by a dear friend of mine's daughter, born on st. patty's day. the ironic thing...she's about 110% POLISH! go figure...;)
i just thought a little irish whimsy would be fun. for the sake of the illo, i decided to make her hair a strawberry blonde color...kinda like macaroni and cheese (and how could THAT be bad....)!
i'm just about done and will be listing it FOR SALE as a PRINT sometime in early february.
hey, who says leprechauns are always boys...?!;)

This is the final iteration of a piece I did for Illustration Friday a few weeks back, using the word-prompt “tree”. It went from a boy and dog in a tree, kids in a tree, SNOWmen in a tree, and now back to the first idea. And when I thought THAT was done, I added the boxes, bulbs, and ribbons. I think it’s finished. I have not had the urge to fix or change anything. A good sign! And now I’m using it for one of my Christmas cards this year. Merry Christmas!

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE!
It happens to the best of us, eh?
The Illustration Friday word of the week is “Tree” and this popped into my head for some reason.

“What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants a home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard -
The treble of heaven’s harmony
These things he plants who plants a tree.”

I've been working on a couple of different things lately. I've stepped back into the chef panel, doing a little here and a little there. I put in a layer of color on the architectural elements and started the grape leaves creeping across the top. I added a couple of minor veggies and filled in the purple grape at the bottom.
My challenge here was the splash. I originally started using cerulean blue and was horrified - blech! Switching to ultramarine was much better...but, wait a minute! I didn't try pthalo. Might have to try that tomorrow.
Another thing I started was a study of a tree - the type of tree that will go in panels 1 and 2. This is especially challenging because it's a truck load of green, green, and more green. I have 3 different greens in the hillside and another 3 (or more) greens that make up the tree. I'm having to find ways to create contrast, even though in the reference pictures that I'm using, it does blend together at times. I need to work on it a bit and work out the kinks.

Last night was spent working on the study of the tree again. I think I've worked out the solution to all the green on green - enough contrasts in light/dark, saturation, value... there are such nuances to deal with. I thought my hills were pretty much done, but now I realize that once I get the trees in there, there'll be some adjusting of surrounding colors to do and possibly some texturizing that I like from the study.

I'm hoping to start work on it tonight while it's all fresh in the memory. However, I spent the day at the park with the kids (all day...without sunscreen), and now I'm really tired.
