Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great New Years and have recovered. I wasn't too bad this week, we had a big party on the weekend even the kids stayed up into the wee hours and we all lazed around the next day. It's still summer holidays over here at the moment so I've been busy taking the kids to play dates, the pool and keeping them occupied etc. I've even managed to get back into my exercise a bit 2012 is the year I get buff (fit)....well I'll try anyway ;0)
I'm including these pieces as my Sunday sketches too as we have two birthday parties this weekend and the husband is dragging me to a car show eeeeeeek.....so not my thing but when he told me that there was an air brush exhibition as well I decided to give it a go. So hopefully next week I'll have some pictures to show you and I might even be able to get some tips!!!
Ok first up is another in my series of frogs. I really love drawing these little guys as it really gets my creative juices flowing, and I'm thinking up all sorts of scenarios for them to be in :0)
This one is 'Disco Frog'
Move over Travolta!
This next piece is another of my experiments with the airbrush that I got for Christmas. I used the air brush for the skin, background and hair then added details over the top. I really do like the look of the airbrush it gives it a softness that I'm not able to get with a paint brush. I think though that it's going to take me a long time to be able to do details with an airbrush it really is tricky but I really am having fun trying new things!!!
Hope you all have a great weekend and I'll pop by over the weekend!!

Great frog and love the softness the airbrush brings to your portrait.
Disco Frog ROCKS! Love the suit - so 70's! Your airbrush experiment is a complete success in my book!
You're really good at airbrush!!
Awesome work, so fun to see you evolve with your new medium of airbrushing!

Love your frog. I think it's great that you've shared your first experience with the airbrush with us. How great that you are learning to use it. I've still to learn using mine, perhaps in the Spring. Great job. Enjoy the rest of the week and thanks for sharing.
Disco frog is hilarious, I love him! I like the girl's face with the airbrush - I see what you mean about the softness it gives. I'm sure it must be tricky applying it correctly but you're definitely off to a great start!
That frog is hillarious! The gipsy is so sweet, you are doing good with that air brush!
Too FUN, I love the Disco frog, he's hilarious!

Disco frog is so funny! I like your airbrushed girl. I bought a variable airbrush many years ago and then realized I didn't want to use spray it in the house and had no place to plug it outside the house. I only did a few things with it and never learned it properly. I bet you will, though!
LOVe the disco-ing toad!!!!!!!!!
excellent and oh so clever!
