The Princess and the Frog lesson taught by Rachel Panagarry



Merida - a version I am working on for Ever After Course.......picking a fairy tale character we could most relate to and why



Limited time FREE Life Book Lesson taught by Tamara Laporte - The Happy Traveler

work in progress........not sure where this will end up or how.......

my Chesire Cat and Ugly Duckling for Ever After Art Course.......

now the Chesire Cat is NOT an actual lesson on this course but just my being inspired to create more fairy tale characters........the Ugly Duckling IS a lesson taught by Effy Wild........

my White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland

This is NOT one of the official lessons from the Ever After art course but one I wanted to do on my own in my own way........the B&W version is just my color photo with a setting changed to black and white....I really love how it turned out but I still might tweak the background

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland

these were not actual lessons from the Ever After art course but the lessons have inspired me to create more characters from Alice in Wonderland. I sketched these out last night and painted them today

my version of Galadriel.......

lesson taught for Ever After art course.....by Mystele...but I ended up doing my take on it and did not really follow the lesson. I think that was because I sort of did her techniques on the last 2 pieces of artwork I did and I really felt led to do this take on Galadriel from Lord of the Rings as the Lady of Light...since she was known as that and was the fairest of all the elves in the Middle Earth......

another finger painting....

just trying to let it go...not worry about the end result....I just started smearing paint around......and kept at it until I liked the shape and could see a face in there. At first I had eyes closed but I swear I saw a face in there with eyes open that really wanted to be seen. This is the end result......

assortment of art for Ever After Course mostly........

Goldilocks and the Three Bears lesson taught by Cinnamon Cooney - part of the Ever After Course

more Jay Park artwork......

Since I seem to have developed a Jay Park brain lately.....I have been working on some more artwork of him using techniques I am currently studying in an art course I have been taking.

This was the first colored painting I have ever done of Jay Park. I wanted to try a technique using shades of black, grays and go all the way up to whites.....which I still cannot do very well. I then added color to the background. This is very hard for me for some reason.....so I am going to have to keep practicing this to try and improve.



I had done the following sketch of JP some time back with graphite and charcoal but felt it was not that good.......so I then took pics of it with my camera and changed tint settings...I like the color tinted version I think better





I really liked working on this last piece....I basically did a sketch with graphite pencil and added a watercolor crayon base in yellow....followed by staining with red iron oxide.......and then adding the blues.....love how it turned out

some more art from Ever After art course and my own artwork using some of the techniques I am learning

Red Riding Hood was a lesson taught by Micki Wilde in the Ever After art course I am taking...you can find the link on my side bar if you are interested in  signing up!

MY version of Mad Hatter using techniques I am learning in the Ever After art course (this is not part of the course but just art I was inspired to create)



My version of Queen of Hearts (these are not part of the course..just extra art I was inspired to do)

The Handless Maiden -art lesson taught by Galia Alena

More artwork for Ever After art course

This past week I worked on the art lesson taught by Jane Davenport for the Ever After art course I am taking....so we did an exercise sketch and then a couple more....of Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty.....front view and more of a side view. I also did my version my style painting of Snow White..though it feels unfinished..so I may be adding something else to it down the road.
