I finished my final mixed media piece from the foundations course by today....swipe for all 4 projects....mixed media, pastel, acrylic and charcoal. A very satisfying and rewarding course. If you've ever wanted to have a go at portraits in these media I highly recommend this course.

My pastel piece for Foundations course....
My pastels arrived and I finally got round to finishing my pastel project. This took me ages...I really struggled with this and there were definitely ugly stages along the way but I'm really pleased with the end result. I would have liked to have been a bit looser but in the end the paper was saturated with pigment and I couldn't push him any further. I love the bits where the pastel is really rough and grainy!
Definitely recommend this course to anyone who is sitting on the fence.

I like to paint in soft, neutral colors and bright ones, depending on the subject matter, mood and what I'd like to express.
Lately I have been moving into a brighter palette as I'm learning more about colour and colour mixing and experimenting more with a limited palette.

There are lots of great art related quotes out there, but I stumbled upon this one by Ricky Gervais the other week and absolutely loved it. For me, it sums up the create process...the idea that you are not creating to please others but only yourself and your creative expression. ....great arty words of wisdom!

My favourite tools......
I touched on this the other day. There's a multitude of great tools that make amazing marks but I honestly couldn't be without my tablet. From being an invaluable research tool, an image resource to gridding reference images, using filters, trying out ideas on images of my own works, grayscales, videos...the list goes on and on.

day 9....I know, I know, I'm out of order!
Here's my artist outfit...swipe for gorgeous colour details on my apron. Who knew wiping your brushes randomly on your clothes could be so beautiful!??
I do also wear old clothes and old slippers as I have a tendency to get paint everywhere!
