For my birthday I received a slew of fun art toys to play wiht. Some of the things I received are pictured here. I've been wanting to try out different mediums because I like to see what I can achieve with different types of pencils and paints. Funny thing is that old habits die hard.




So far I really like water color pencils, and I also like colored pencils. Here is what I quickly created today with colored pencils. I hope to keep expanding on them and then eventually I will begin adding backgrounds. I don't think I'm all that confident with acrylics, but I do like using them for highlights.




This drawing was made using the methods I learned in jewelry design school. I drew a lot of renderings that involved necklaces, rings, and gemstones. I always played with drawing little princesses though! My teacher used to roll her eyes when she saw a big rendering of a mermaid I drew while she was conducting class. Oh well...old habits die hard!!! Sorry teacher!

I absolutely can't wait to thank Vania of Vania's Art for this beautiful award. Vania has such lovely art, and she is definately a kindred soul! Please skip on over and pay her a visit too! Thank you Vania!!!
