Wide Copic Grin on a Cheshire Cat Card

March 1, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

One of the things I love most about Copic markers are using the Wide Copics to quickly fill in a blank background. For this card, I used Wide G21 for the grass and Wide BG10 for the sky. Because I still have several of these pens in the workshop materials I'm clearancing in my shop, I thought I'd take a moment to show you why they had been part of my teaching supplies for so long with this quick, … [Read more...]

New in Shop-Copic Supplies…GREAT PRICES!

February 9, 2015 by admin 1 Comment

I have been cleaning out my studio and realized that I've been holding onto so much product from my workshop teaching inventory. As many of you know, I taught for Copic / Imagination International for a few years, certifying people in the use of their marker products. Well I found an entire shelf of my pullout cabinet dedicated to extra markers for workshop kits. And I simply have no need for … [Read more...]

Sketches of Life

April 10, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

For a long time I've done different documentations of my life. Whether by making a family scrapbook, through writing in a journal, art journaling (in which oftentimes the words get out on the page (and then painted over); and more recently I've taken up my sketchbook to document the ordinary things.  I love all of these outlets of creativity! As I wrote in my last entry, one of my … [Read more...]

Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch b Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch break. I'll have to build up some courage to paint this one tonight. I could do several studies just on that marvelous hairpiece. I love @stabilo point 88 fineliners for this stage. No. 88/89 has an almost Quin / Nickel Azo Gold to it when you watercolor, as the line is water soluble. I use the others for placement of fine detail, close to the final hue of the watercolor paint I will use. Ages ago I used water soluble graphite, but it makes things quite muddy, especially when working with such contrasts. The actor, @goldarosheuvel, has such a wry set of her lips and a look of discernment. I feel like the Queen is already judging me.. I hope I can capture it in this study.

Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my 4x6 sketchbook. I'm working on a Women of Bridgerton series. @adjoa.andoh is so much more beautiful than I was able to portray tonight. I loved her strong, independent and fiercely loyal portrayal of Lady Danbury. A few more studies to get under the belt before I move on to the larger piece.

New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have had many things come through and others disappointingly fall flat. But in the end pitching my ideas it is like cooking: I may do every step just right and know exactly how to do it; and still the dough doesn't rise, or the whipped cream doesn't reach its peak. Does that mean I stop trying altogether?
.
TBH, when you put your heart into something and it doesn't work out - it's ok to pout, get mad, even have a little stress down. But better things are always on the horizon. I recently wrote a proposal that went nowhere. But meanwhile I proposed something else that took off in ways I could only dream of.
.
I just want to encourage you to keep on swinging for the bleachers.  Your unique gifts have you on somebody's short list and you won't even know until you try, again. And again. A phone call. A text. A Zoom meeting. An email.
.
I believe in you, dreamer.

Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I ca Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I can give as comfort to my family.. What a week!

16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #Quinacrid 16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #QuinacridoneGold was discontinued because the pigment was simply no longer to be found. And here we are with this lovely favorite, #quinacridonenickelazogold (shown in OPEN); and I laugh to think that I love it even more than the original!! What about you? It's a silly thing - but it just reminds me that things can turn out fine even when they seem less so at the time. <3

From Just Paint newsletter, December, 2004.
"First the bad news: We have been forced to discontinue our most venerable color, a color we introduced to the marketplace, and one that soon became our signature color – Quinacridone Gold. The pigment manufacturer will no longer support the required pigment, and despite an exhaustive search, there is simply no other source to be found. 
.
Now the good news: Through a vigilant effort, the GOLDEN Lab, led by fearless director Jim Hayes, has created a well-matched solution to the original Quinacridone Gold. By blending a Quinacridone Gold Red Shade with Nickel Azo, the new blend called Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold achieves the wonderful characteristics of the original Quinacridone Gold, including a warm yellow-gold quality in the undertone as well as a tight tint. Golden Artist Colors, Inc. is excited about the new formula and we hope you too will delight in its rich qualities."
