art thread?

Hi folks. I've just bought a box of coloured pencils, and will be working on my first drawing soon. I'll post the completed work here. Would love people to post their art here for us to see. Doesn't matter what type of art - drawing, painting, photos/photo manipulation, cake decorating, quilting, poetry, origami, whatever. Let's have some fun and show our creativity. 🙂

have a shot at drawing what you want to achieve in photoshop or whatever program you use and use that as a reference for your next project.

I like it. The sky is very dark so I'd throw in a few stars in to make it a nightscape, then maybe the silhoutte of some insects

I will put this one way in the back of the cupboard and i will buy another canvas one day and have another go.

Ive told Miss 12, the next one i do, she can hang in her new room.

The look on her face was priceless

We travelled from Perth this week on the Indian Pacific and I managed to get a bit done on the train - I find it relaxing.

I travelled one way on the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney in 2000. Paid $1000 extra to bring my car over on the train. 3 day trip. Slept on the floor in the aisle with the huddled masses in coach class. Got bugger all sleep, but everybody had a great time singing and laughing and being silly the whole way.

Somebody please, which link do I use to put photo's here. Ta. Oh and aren't you supposed to stand away from a painting to fully appreciate it?

Put it away and leave it for a week, then look at it again, if you really don't like it, paint over it?
