Hello all, just a super quick post from me today as I wanted to share a first project that I did from a new online class I plan to really get into over the summer. The Class is called Children of the Wild, by Kate Thomson, hence the title of my post.
The class can be found on the Jeanne Oliver Ning site, - here is a link:

I have only watched the first video, and this was just a little bit of fun play, using an inspiration photo she shared and just part of her very first technique. I did the little portrait on an old tag that was flying around.
I just used, gesso, a normal HB pencil, a Stabilo All pencil and a mix of gesso and white acrylic paint. Kate uses way more products in her sample piece and I hope to get into that soon.
Well that's it, thanks for dropping in and see you next time!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Astrid, I am gob smacked that you drew this after only viewing one short video, you are one talented artist! Can't wait to see more, thanks so much for sharing it, Deb xo
ReplyDeleteAll your portraits are fabulous. I can't draw animals or people so it would be a great course for me. I'll look into it, thank you for the link.
ReplyDeleteA stunning portrait Astrid! I love the expression in the child's eyes .. just want to pick her up and give her a hug. Amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm blown away - lost in her eyes - pretty much captures exactly how I'm feeling at the moment, and therefore finding it hard to summon the positive energy to go blog-visiting.
