Timothy Green and a Sneak Peek.

Yesterday I watched The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and it was an amazing movie. The actors were great, the story was awesome, and the scenery was breathtaking. I felt personally bummed when the credits came. In fact, I loved it so much that I just had to draw something from it. You know, pay it a little respect. So that put me in front of a paused screen for about an hour sketching the Green's house:

 

Also, I have a little treat for ya: A sneak peek at my next watercolor piece... (make way for Mr. Sneaky... ):D ) It's inspired by a poem I had to memorize for school, and because of that I can proudly enter it here from memory: 

                                      Nature's first Green is Gold,

                                         Its hardest hue to hold.

                                         Her first leaf's a flower,

                                           But only so an hour.

                                         Then leaf passes to leaf,

                                         And Eden wept for grief.

                                         Dawn goes down to Day.

                                          Nothing Gold can stay.

                                                           - Robert Frost

So here is THE BLESSED SNEAK PEEK: 

              

                                                                  It's an Autumn Tree.

           I apologize for the positively terrible picture, it's the only one I have of Phase 2. (I sorta forgot about pictures for the Sketch Phase...)

Watercolor Drawing

       I know I know, I've been posting a lot lately. But I just can't help myself!
This is my first watercolor piece. I wasn't sure how exactly it would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! This is a farm scene (if you haven't already guessed) so the sketching part was pretty easy. But the details? Totally different story. The sky is much greyer and stormier in real life than in the image, but I like how it turned out :) So BEHOLD! The watercolor. (in 3 phases)

                                                                 Sketch: Phase 1.

               
                                                                 Simple Brushwork: Phase 2

                                                              THE FINISHED PAINTING!
                                                                           Phase 3.

Tree Frog by Aliyah

    My sister Aliyah (who also loves to draw) requested that I put this drawing on my blog. She drew a Tree Frog, which in my opinion is pretty snazzy. But anyway, here it is!

Mary Engelbreit Style

              For the past few months, I have been creating an on and off series of Mary Engelbreit inspired drawings. It's how I first got started, really. I loved her artwork, and since (of course) they had already been drawn out, it was easy to follow, and it taught me many of the basics to creating drawings of my own. There are a few that I did at the very beginning that are strictly hers, (I do not own anything!) and so for those I give her ALL the creative credit. She has been a HUGE inspiration to me, and because of her I've started drawing! So to Mary Engelbreit: THANK YOU!
           
                         Somebody bring the Cherry Pie.

The Hand.

 I was quite bored yesterday so I drew my hand while drawing. You'd be surprised at how difficult it is to draw your own hand! But anyway, here's the finished product:
