More Art Journaling

Okay, since you guys were so nice about my other journal posting, I decided to post this one as well. This is the genesis for the current sculpture I'm working on. If you check back a couple of posts, you'll see the work on progress on this piece. I may still add some things to this journal page, but I felt like it was far enough along that I could share it. The idea for this page in the journal came from a trip to GA to visit my family. I was traveling with just myself and my daughter, staying in a hotel room, and feeling a bit vunerable. I started thinking of things that I protect... What do you protect?? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Art Journaling

I've recently started doing "art journaling" which for me is a perfect fit. I love color so much, and I enjoy doodling, and this is a more creative way to keep a journal. I'm playing with lots of different techniques and color combos, and having SO much fun. I wanted to share this one page with you all...

Detail of WIP

Here's the pic I promised of my work in progress. It's the little birdie between her breasts. Remember that there is still SO much work to do...

WIP update

I've been working on the sculpture, but I've hit a phase that is going to require some time. I knew the wings would take me a while to get it right, because I didn't have a clear picture in my head of what they would look like exactly. My plan was to always just play with them, changing the shape, until they said what I wanted them to say. I have attached the little bird between her breasts, but that little guy may need some tweaking too. I am really just trying to get the whole form basically shaped, and then I will go back and rework or tweak the whole thing. I'll get you a photo today, while I'm working in the studio. We have a babysitter today!! Yay!

Work in Progress

Here's a couple of pics, one is the inside of the base, showing the internal supports I've built in. The other photo is a quick sketch of the piece I'm making, so you can get an idea of where this is heading.


By the way, I use a large door painted with chalkboard paint for my full scale sketching. I love it! I would highly recommend it to any artists you know, or even kids too!

Sculpture-Portrait.com

Hi Guys, I wanted to share with you an online forum that I just recently joined. It's called portrait-sculpture.com and it is just wonderful. These folks are friendly, talented, and generous with their knowledge and support. While I don't really do portrait sculpture, I am interested in capturing a likeness of a person and being able to capture a certain expression. Besides, we are all working in the same medium, so there are many things that are similar. I have already learned so much just from reading the posts and if you have any interest, head on over there and check it out. www.portrait-sculpture.com There are demo videos, lots of pictures, critiques, announcements, and helpful tips. Those guys rock!

Starting a New Piece

Hi everyone! It's not a very exciting photo, but this is the beginning of a new sculpture. This will be her base. I'll post more photos of the work in progress as I go. Sorry for the short post- the kiddo is crying to get out of her crib!
