Portrait Art Finished..Finally!!

Wow, this one took me forever. I think it turned out very pretty and I hope its exactly what the client envisioned as it is a memorial portrait. Its pastel, colored pencil, and black and white charcoal. This was designed exactly how the client asked me...65 purple roses surrounding the portrait.

Cross that off the list...on to the next. whew.

Polymer Clay Faun Art Doll

So...after about a week of panic with no computer...a lovely person has so kindly installed my hard drive into an xtra computer. Whew. Heart attack averted. Thank you lovely person.

Other than a portrait commission that is taking me a millennium to finish, my next project in line of many projects to finish is a new sculpture. She's been in the works for a long time. I love sculpting with polymer clay, but it is a super frustrating process that makes me want to pull my hair out and throw the sculpture out the window. All I have left is the hands, hooves, tail, and horns, then the real fun can begin of adding fur and paint.

I am only slightly concerned that I'm about to have a major engineering issue of her being a free standing doll, but we shall overcome that problem when we get there.

The Arduous Process so far -

*Wire skeleton
*torso, arms, legs sculpted, attached - baked
*scraped for lumpiness and sanded for junk stuck in clay, during which I broke an arm and a leg. The dolls, not mine. Fixed breaks with epoxy stuff...more sanding.
*head sculpted, glass eyes inserted - baked
*more sanding/ scraping

Stay tuned for more pics soon!

WooHoo!

Yay, FINALLY I have an art blog! The first post is always pretty boring, so I shall keep it short. My plans for this blog are to show off some artwork, post works in progress, and maybe even some tutorials.
I specialize in art of the fantasy kind and the occasional portrait, mostly in pencil and watercolor.

For a little taste, here is my lastest artwork, "Pearl's Treasure".
