Boxed & Heart: daily art 8

A series of eye paintings hug side my side

Today was a day to go crazy in my Moleskine and then continue it on my iPadPro. It was so much fun to just let my brain take me for a ride and was pure therapy on a day where a lot of crap was coming from many directions.

This creation of mine is Adeline. She is from Paris,France in the year 1838. Made with watercolors (Jazperstardust, Rublev,Daniel Smith, etc...) and a bit of pencil (just the outline). Made her on my new Arches watercolor paper.

I’m fascinated in how something may make you feel. For instance, I’m deeply moved by images of outer space from the Hubble space telescope, but I do not try to recreate those photographs in my work. What does not exist in those photos, is how they may make us feel. This is why you won’t see any “realism” in my art. When we send astronauts to space, they can discuss factually what is happening, but what truly moves human beings is when astronauts describe how they felt while they were there. So, I choose to express how I feel, as opposed to illustrate what I see.

Nothing matters when you are asleep!

Ok maybe a couple of mornings.

Something all over the shop.

Layered paint and liquified to create the effect.

A few years ago, I noticed a new habit of doodling faerie folks who seemed to exude off of the page. They look very doodle-y but they have ‘presence’, at the same time. I don’t know if that comes across to anyone else, but it does for me so I find them interesting. They each have part of a story that they want me to tell ... Here are five of many.

So, for the new Fantastic Beasts movie, I came up with an idea to draw Newt, and so I did

And now to swing wildly in the other direction. This is a cute little profile of my friends original character, a conjuror named Estin.

A little messy, but still, turned out...sort of okay. An echorche (cut away drawing) of the legs for my figure drawing class. We had one hour with a model to. Time: 1 Hr. Medium: Charcoal and graphite on paper
