It was an early start to the day and I indulged in too many ‘Good Mythical Morning‘ episodes, while indulging in too many coffees. Once 8.30 am came around I was bouncing and ready to workout. It was another solid workout. I’ve really been pushing hard this week and for the most part, it’s been feeling great.
Then I moved on to art. It’s been… a day. I really wanted to try creating art with charcoal and pencil. I had a couple of ideas and just jumped in to try them. The charcoal was a lot messier than I thought and it didn’t apply well over the pencil. Even though it’s a bit of a disaster, there is something about it I like.
I tried a couple of pencil and ink sketches but I only finished the sketch of a ladybug and flowers. With a little digital help, the colours turned out pretty nice. I’m proud of myself for trying to do my own thing with no references.
I also worked on French and started putting together my plan for ‘Project Penguin’ that will run for all of 2020. I have about half a years worth of ideas already. I feel like I’m biting off more than I can chew but what’s life without a challenge or two?
I hope your day has been filled with the things you love.

Thank you. The sunset was an experiment with pencil and charcoal. I like working with charcoal but I missed having colour. xD It’s always fun to try new things!

I have got some charcoal but am yet to try it . I am currently doing an Online Landscape Painting Course, it’s for beginners- intermediate. I consider myself to be a beginner. I am learning about light, colour, atmospheric perspective plus lots of other technical stuff.

That’s fantastic. I’m a beginner too and don’t know much about the technical stuff. I should look into some online courses.
I hope you’re having a creative week. =)

I have started making Christmas Cards, don’t have too many to do.
With my course I have been some exercises on different effect or time of day has on the same scene. Tomorrow I will be working on a landscape with a dull day. I will post the homework on my blog site after the weekend.

Jolie coucher de soliel! And if u feel comfortable enough to venture into the yard may b try collecting a few bugs and plants to use as references – Je pense it’s always a good idea to draw from life- at least when u r starting out.

Merci beaucoup. =) I’m a little scared of bugs, so I won’t be collecting those. I think for the time being I’ll just have to stick to referencing photos. xD
