Hand Carved Wooden Hearts

Finally finished my wooden hearts :) I have hung them with wool and string and loved making them.
I painted them and then carved back into them with the circular sander to reveal the grain of the wood, then varnished them.

Drawing Kitty Attempt #2

Hello!

The last time I tried to capture my little kitty in PanPastels and chalk as she ran around the room like a sugar crazed zombie, attacking me and everything else... the results weren't great but it was good fun! This time I worked from a photograph using the same medium and I am much happier with the results! Though it kind of feels like a kitty yearbook photo... bit too smiley maybe?!

Carved Wooden Hearts - Still In Progress

A few days ago I took a plank of wood into the workshop and carved these hearts using mainly a circular sander. Great fun!

They are still unfinished... I am going to paint them and then taking them back into the workshop to partly sand away the paint to create a rustic look (hopefully) then I will hang them using a selection of different strands of wool. I have chosen neutral tones and that compliment the natural grain of the wood.

Chalky Little Kitty - Art Afternoon

So... we adopted a little kitten and called her Yuffie (inspired by Final Fantasy 7) and this afternoon I attempted to draw her as she attacked my pencil... and ran around the room hyper... so really it was like mission impossible and I'm going to have another go and this time work from a photograph! Little rascal!

This is the first time I have used my new PanPastels and I LOVE them! They work brilliantly with Derwent ColourSoft pencils and normal chalks. I also combined graphite and Prismacolour pencils. 

Follow me on Instagram for more frequent updates and to see a video of Yuffie bullying me while I try to work... :)

Here is a commission I finished this week inspired by one of my older drawings 'Fox love.' I was asked to personalise it by replacing the fox with a Samoyed dog and change the colour of the girls hair to blonde.

My favourite Bukowski quote...

One of my favourite quotes by the American poet and author, Henry Charles Bukowski is 'find what you love and let it kill you.' It reminds me to continue doing what I love and to always follow my passion. I was hoping to inspire others to do the same with this linear drawing of a bear.

All the best people like cats...
