nearly complete with the aero queen
beginning to plan Dollie's frame.
I have been asked, "why do you draw on tracing paper first?" this is actually a method I would suggest to those who do not draw/colour using an easel and especially heavy-handed pencil artists.
there's a couple of reasons : 1) pencil erases so much easier due to tracing paper texture, 2) less imprints on the actual art piece which means smoother transfer of colour ((I don't worry too much about paper imprints when I dabble in acrylics because you can layer paints more easily)), and 3) symmetry! I tend to draw at a 45-degree angle in a sitting-fetal position, elbows on the floor. you can imagine how that ends sometimes. don't judge me, okay.
Constance, my friend's mother and my art buddy, told me I needed to have an art show sometime, and she offered to have a duo show with me. I am so flattered. she came by work and told me that she had spoken to the owner of this place (and location of her previous show in town). he has agreed to loan us the 3rd floor for a show! this floor is used for ballet classes so I'm assuming there's going to be huge wall-mirrors in there. I hope so!! unfortunately we have not planned a day yet because my work schedule is out of whack right now, and working every other weekend kinda limits options.
I may be putting my first piece of art up for sale. my friend, sharon, has talked me into considering it. there's a cute diner near the lake. it has a wall lined with art for sale by different local artists and a spot is $15. I hope I don't end up embarrassing myself, at least no one knows me at the lake.
any way, I really love constance's work although it really puts mine to shame (boo hoo):
