It's been soooo long!!

Well I know I had posted saying I was going to add some new paintings and other creations, but I became busy with starting new life things!

I am adding some new and updated painting on my art pages HERE Hope you enjoy! and please don't forget to follow me and leave a comment so that I can follow you as well :)

I have an update and I want to share a WIP (work in process) with you, for the time being! I couldn't sleep so I figured, I may as well come on here and prove I haven't walked off or vanished off the face of the earth!

Here is something digital I am working on slowly...




So as you can see, it's slowly coming together and I have been saving it each time I add a few new things...So that I could share the process.
Hope you like it!
And for those who may or may not know it is "Kirsten Dunst" from the film Marie Antoinette

A quick update and another new book!

Hello everyone and I hope your week has been great so far.
Here are some new updates! Not to my site however, but I just got a new book last week! I am loving it and I also took a course that this book was based around.

What's the book you ask?


Drawing on The Right Side of The Brain(newest and revised version) is a great book for beginners who just want a different approach to drawing experiences and a different kind of "seeing" how to draw like an artist! Actually it is designed for people who think they can't draw...I agree with this book because I have had friends tell me the only thing they can draw is stick men. Anyone can draw, and this is a great book for those looking to try their hand at drawing maybe even as just a hobby. 

 This book has instructions as well as photos showing you that with these techniques you can become the artist you never thought you could be. They have photos SHOWING how far others have come in this course and the Authors classes. 

This book also doesn't make you feel as discouraged as you normally would, because it's approach is to just be calm, don't stress out if it isn't perfect and just relax and go with the flow. 

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their artistic skills or just anyone who want to learn how to draw in general. This book is great for everyone, not just beginners, but professionals a like. 

So I have been drawing and trying some of these techniques, and trying to stay calm at this time in my life. Sometimes we must pick a hobby and or activity to keep us going and to look to more positive things while we are feeling negative. 

That is what I have been up to lately as well. I have been keeping busy. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week and please feel free to comment! I may not respond the same day, but remember I always respond!
