Fae Trois

Hello all :)

Posting tonight as I've just finished a new painting and finally ready to share it! I've been a bit obsessed with checking out fantasy art lately and have come across some absolutely brilliant artists such as Myka Jelina, Octavia Cheetham, Emily Balivet and Linda Biggs among many, many others! After checking out these brilliant ladies I was finally inspired enough to put paint brush to paper and create something :)

I call it Fae Trois :)

And just for a giggle I thought I'd share the mess I made while painting it ^_^

I'm pretty pleased with it but I'm aware I'm not the best painter in the world but practice makes perfect ^_^ I'm glad to say once I got going on this one I started thinking of more and more ideas for new pieces, so hopefully the next one will be better and so on and so forth :D

That's all I've got to show for today, I'll be back when I've created a new masterpiece :D

Paintings and Things

Greetings ^_^

Thought it was time for a new post as I've just finished my first attempt at a painting in 6 years and only just got round to taking photographs of it :P

After checking out artists such as Josephine Wall and Linda Ravenscroft I've been overwhelmed with fantasy and brightly coloured themes and it reminded me of a project I did while I was studying illustration.

The brief was to illustrate a playing card without using a literal representation of the face/number or the suit. I chose the 2 of Hearts and this is the idea I came up with:

I decided to revisit the idea after seeing so many wonderful artwork by well known and not so well known fantasy artists, I changed it a lot from the original one I came out with which was very flat and just well... crap!! But the idea always stuck with me ^_^

It was fun getting back into using crazy, whimsical colours and hiding things in amongst the shrubbery, now my brain is full to the brim with ideas! :D

I'll be back as soon as I've got something else worth showing!

Untill next time ^_^
