Well, I am back in the land of the living with my surgery and it was no fun at all. But yesterday after lunch I started to emerge. It's nice to have that over with.This is actually a piece I started way back when I did one of my first workshops with Wyanne and we started painting these little girls but I never finished it. The day before my surgery I worked on it most of the day and put some finishing touches on it yesterday. I actually like the way Wyanne teaches you to draw the bodies with making little paper dolls with brads that you can shape into any position. It's helpful and I think I will pull out those paperdoll templates again and use them. This is an 11 x 14 canvas and I put black dots around the sides and used my copic air sprayer for the stencils at the top.
Oh this is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow jumper with black stripe socks and red shoes, the other dress is sweet too!!
And of course I love the red hearts between them!! Heart Friends, the best kind of all!!
Hugs!
I am so glad you are feeling better!
Glad you're feeling better, Martha!
ReplyDeleteI think these heart friends would make a marvelous Valentines card.
Glad you are recovering and it is behind you. This drawing is full of fantasy and delight, love the colors. Sandi
ReplyDeleteTwo pals in the posy patch! how utterly delightful <~~~ Truly brightened a drab, Monday morning for me. Thanks! (P.S. Glad to hear you're on the mend! *smiling BIGly*)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better. This painting is just so darn cute. Love the skinny arms and legs. And the background is wonderful. Of course everything you do is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love them-so fun and whimsical! Glad youre feeling better. Will u be listing some of your things on Etsy anytime soon? I loved the entertaining angels one from the other day.
ReplyDeleteMartha...this is just too cute!! Love the skinny little bodies, with your lovely faces!! Now, that is a super idea...making paper dolls with joints to pose for sketches. I will have to try to do that...it is hard to get a pose just right by using your imagination. I need a "visual aid"! So glad you are feeling better and back to art again!
ReplyDeleteSo thankful your surgery went well. Praying for you Martha.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day, but we do not own a video camera if you can believe that!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling back to creating again, and how cute are these? I didn't know she had a workshop--does she still?
ReplyDeleteOOOHHHH! I love, love, love these girls!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that all is well in the land of Martha! Your painting is lovely, as usual....have yourself a well deserved, blissful Monday!
