Pastel Landscape

This is a landscape pastel drawing that I did based on a cheap DVD that I got in the January sales.

Monthly Challenge!

On the 8th day of each month this year I will be setting prompts for your own paintings/photos, which should get your creative juices flowing! So for January it is...........

Creativity

This probably sounds a bit strange if you are on here as an artist, but interpret this in your own way. For example it could be something still life related or even just a normal painting you would do. Feel free to interpret this however you like. If you don't mind sharing your results, email them to me at clairesart@hotmail.com so that I can upload them onto my blog to inspire other people like you.

Buckingham Palace

Sorry for the delay in posting this, Christmas just seemed to fly past!! I hope you had a fantastic Christmas!  Anyway, I completed this over the Christmas period, with one of my Christmas presents; How to paint London by Geoff Kersey. The book is probably one of the best that I have ever had as far as watercolours goes. It turns good paintings into fantastic ones, also it gives detailed  and well explained steps, even with tracings, which I didn't use for that particular painting. This picture is just watercolours, with a couple of watercolour pencils just to reinforce some of the lines. I hope you like it! Check out my Gallery for more of my pictures as the rest seem to get lost in all the posts :)
