wild at heart~ Fashion Illustration


Since I was stuck at home last night without the boyfriend, I quickly turned to one of my favorite creative vices to rescue me from any superfluous amount of boredom. And since I'd just recently posted images of Abbey Lee Kershaw for Dazed & Confused here, I was feeling pretty inspired to don a funky wolf suit, which meant I decided to watch Where the Wild Things Are. In the end, this drawing consumed most, if not all, of my time... at least until I started thinking I needed a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was all downhill from there...

You do have a natural talent, and I really like your signature.
I always notice signatures because I hate my own, consequently I do not sign most of my work. Put that ice cream down and draw, I'll be back to check.

The Body

You can barely see it in the last post , so here's a clearer picture of   what I've been working on in my new art studio... not that it hasn't come with little stop your heart stress moments.   The first time I attempted this piece, now referred to as The Body , was mutually as terrifying as it was exhilarating. It was the first full hand drawing I'd ever attempted, and everything was going smoothly until the moment I decided to incorporate oil paint, also the first in my artwork experiences. My grandmother was an award-winning artist, but now, without her wealth of knowledge and go-to advise, this is really a learning/teach yourself process. The drawing was done and exactly how I wanted it, the hair and tights were painted, and the final stages involved adding skin and the completion of the tattoos.   I didn't go in naively, I understood that it would inevitably boil down to the dynamics of trial and error, so I inhaled deeply and began creating my palette.

Oil Landscape Paintings

I'm so excited for this new creative direction. I'll still be creating watercolor portraits and the like but for now I feel this calling and it feels like home. If you like landscapes and botanicals, I'd love for you to follow my account @agardenhome - where I'll be sharing a more curated look at my landscape oil paintings, as well as my home design, renovation journey, and garden things. These tiny original oil paintings are available in my etsy shop  ðŸŒ²
