Austra - Katie Stelmanis

I've been listening to Austra a lot lately, so I decided to try painting another person!

This one is a little crazy looking, but I am still learning... so who really cares!

I am not happy with this one at all... I don't like the colours... and I don't think it looks like Katie Stelmanis... The only cool thing about it is the oil pastels/watercolour combination.

Oh well!!!! Enjoy!






Twiggy

I've never tried drawing a famous person before... I decided to start with Twiggy because she seemed like the easiest one! I'm not 100% sure if she is recognizable, but I had a fun time painting her. I found her iconic eyelashes extremely enjoyable to paint. She has a bit of a droopy face, which I like, but I am not sure if I captured it. My colour palate is also pretty primary... I'll try to expand as I learn more about watercolour!

Logan's Letters...

So I have been doing this one for a while now. This was a gift I made for my nephew, Logan, who just turned 2 and LOVES his letters. I'm pretty happy with it... I just wish I had planned ahead and bought a proper frame and matte board... oh well. I don't think he cares about those things yet.
