art | Lucky Girl

This is a sketch I was doing while watching "Midnight in Paris". I thought it was appropriate to share. I chose to use green and yellow pastels because sketchbooks can start to look a little boring without a pop of color.

I love fashion from the 1920's. The drop waists and those cute headbands worn around the forehead - to die for! So that definitely inspired this sketch. It still has a ways to go before I get it where I want it, but it's a pretty good start.

art | Eggs

So I was just finishing the painting of these eggs last night when I spilled water all over it. I looked at it for a minute, and thought to myself, "Maybe... this... could... work?!". Then I came to my senses that I would have to wait for it to dry and redo the piece.

I wanted to share my sketch with you so that you have an idea the direction I was kind of headed. It was (and is going to be) a very graphic modern piece, using the color palette that was in my inspiration post on Tuesday.

What a bummer. But I hope you enjoy!
