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. 🙂

Are you starting your painting today moonlight ?

I will be starting the drawing today, and will paint it with pencil. I estimate this will take 1-2 weeks. And then after that, I will start the painting as a separate piece of work. 

Gill, I think that photobucket has basic photo editing like resizing, so play around with your pics in PB.

I really like the popcorn hair pic gil !

We had a friend in perth who did digital stuff, it was fairly new then.  Hed talk to women while walking his dog at the oval and most agreed to pose for him.  He used the naked form to do landscapes....they looked great.

never figured out if he did it because he liked the art or for the nookie he always seemed to get LOL

by the way Moonlight.   there are "water colour pencils " you can buy.  you draw with them then using a medium brush with a good point, you put water on the drawing (carefully) and you have a 'watercolour' painting.   fascinating...I might buy some soon. seeing I'm inspired.

I keep forgetting to ask you moonlight, are your pencils water solouble sp ?

[kengillard]

thanks Soul.   I suspect it was a bit of both....dogs do come in handy sometimes:^O

last year I got a new product called inktense blocks and pencils.  You draw with them and when wet they look like ink, really vibrant intense colours.
