I love these figure drawing fashion templates! They have been great for teaching, as well as my own art journal designs. They give a great starting point if proportions throw you off. With a few tweaks and a great eraser, you can design various poses and erase the underlines as you add clothes on top.Art Talens journal, but I love a feminine, tailored style with modest lines. I used my Tombow brush markers in my Art Talens journal. The paper in this art journal works well with colored ... View the Post
Inktense Pencil Paintings & VIDEO
Lest you forget that I love my Inktense pencils, here is a cupcake and some flowers for my art journal! :) I also created a surface pattern design for fabric and home decor that can be seen below. I used an art journal with watercolor paper and some simple paintbrushes. Inktense pencils are bold and vibrant with or without activating with water. For the flowers, I dropped in some shiny gold! (see video) There is a green version of this pattern HERE at Spoonflower! ... View the Post
Watercolor Blocks in My Art Journal
There are days when I feel like I can only paint simple shapes. Sometimes, our creativity is spent, but then refreshed with simple things.

Below, is a snapshot of some of my pastels. I just love to look at art ... View the Post
Oil Pastel Purple Flowers on Handmade Paper
This handmade vintage-style paper is lovely to use for many types of media. I'm using oil pastels today, and I suggest doing an underpainting with colored pencils or gouache. I have a video below of another painting using the same paper. I love the deckled edge and speckles the are naturally there. It adds texture, and is frame-ready! ... View the Post
Oil Pastel Pink Castle & Short Video
This castle is in the land of Not Structurally Sound. :) Thankfully, it doesn't matter on paper. It was fun to paint! I used mostly Artecho oil pastels with a few of my Paul Rubens Haiya pastels. I have a short video below! These fairytale colors are fun to use. I was using a reference photo of a castle with a wall coming towards the foreground and a quiet river flowing past. Don't be afraid of failure! Art must be created in order to improve at it. :) My Amazon store full of ... View the Post
