WORK IN PROGRESS
CURRENT PORTRAIT
I love showing you what I'm doing in the studio each day,
explaining my techniques, how I choose colors, how I make decisions about the composition. Each time I start a portrait it's like putting together a puzzle. First I gather all the pieces: the reference photos, the client's wishes, the personality of the one I'm portraying, the size and budget limitations. Then I figure out how to fit all those pieces together to create the most beautiful work of art.
Come along with me
and I'll show you how I plan my strategy for a portrait...and then turn that into reality step-by-step in the studio with art materials.
The box at left shows the latest. Click on it for the full post with pictures, descriptions of my techniques, and the secrets of the art studio!
The post is on my BLOG.
I love showing you what's happening in my studio each day.
So I created a BLOG to share the magic of creating art with you.
My blog includes my "work in progress" posts from the studio. I also announce new products with my artwork on them... sometimes with special offers just for my members. I have fun contests, drawings, and giveaways, like a contest inviting my subscribers to come up with the best title for my latest artwork. Blog posts may include fun projects you can do. I have lots of ideas for ways to involve you in the creative process!
