Seriously lamenting the lack of hours in a day to get everything I need to get done in! The last 2 weeks have been a blur of class creating. Prior to that it was CHA creating with a couple of "me" pieces thrown in there. I think I only have one more class to sort out and them February is finalised as well. Thank Goodness. LOL! I did sneak in some fun sketching time and have been devouring videos from another Jane Davenport class as well, so all is good around here.
This is one sketch that I have worked on, but I have not yet coloured it. I have been trying to keep myself focused on getting all those lessons finished first, but soon I will get back to her.
and then I had a bit of fun trying to draw a body for the first time ever! A few pointers from the Jane Davenport classes I have been watching and I can do this:
Lets face it, I really need to be able to add bodies to the faces in the long run! Next comes things like clothes and such! There really is no end to all this learning.
As far as my CHA projects go, I can share with you a few projects. First off is a piece I made using one of the new Bloom Girl Stamps by Jamie Dougherty. I will be teaching this as a class at Paper Flourish in February.
Loads and loads of fun techniques, from colouring the stamp with Luminarte Twinkling H20's to so many layers of stencils it is going to be fun to remember them all when teaching this!
The kids have been enjoying the school holidays, but they are coming to and end this week. Can't believe how quickly they have gone by!! It is kind of nice listening to them play (well the two youngest as the older 3 tend to have their noses caught in electronic devices). I am sure my little companion Ashton will be very lonely when school goes back!
Just a short post today to keep me on track with better blogging this year. I am also going to start doing more video tutorials from class samples and upload them here after the classes have been run. Not quite sure how I will find the time for that, but really want to get on top of all these time taking processes. I do have a couple done already that I will share in the future. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful blog! I love your top drawing.
