Beatrix Potter for Monday Artday

This is my submission for Monday Artday, the weekly theme is "Beatrix Potter". She is one of my all time favorites since childhood. This is a depiction of one of the mice in "The Tailor of Gloucester". In the story, the mice make little clothes out of the tailor's little cloth scraps, and in the end they really help out the tailor and save the day!

Illustration Friday- Enough (and Monday Artday too!)

All rights Candace Trew Camling

I did this as a combo for Illustration Friday "enough" and Monday Artday "opposite". 

Illustration Friday: "Billy couldn't wait to be old enough to drive a car someday!"

Monday Artday: The concept of big and little, or real life and pretend.

"Anarchy" for Monday Artday

This is what I came up with for the theme of "anarchy" on Monday Artday. I took a more humorous approach, since it's sort of a heavy theme. Pastel on paper.

Dino Sketch Stage II

I haven't had a lot of my own time so far this week to work on what I want to, but that is a good thing. It's good to be getting swamped with some freelance for a little bit. I just had enough time to add the shadows (which is always my next step with watercolor after drawing) I love to be able to see the transparent purple shadows underneath the colorful layers. I also added a hint of an environment. I think the "purple stage" is really pretty in its own right, so I hope you all enjoy watching my watercolor process!

Dino Sketch for Monday Artday

This is my sketch for my Monday Artday submission this week. I'll add some watercolor in the next day or two and make sure I post it here and on the Monday Artday site. So far, so good with posting something new and creative every day of April!

ATC-Houses in a Row!!

This is my second ever ATC. I think it's cute, and I tried some new things with mixed media one it. It was fun to work on, can't wait to do another!

My first ATC

I made my first Artist Trading Card today. I used a stamp that I had created from an illustration I had done. (the deer) And I used acrylic, gel medium, paper scraps, ribbon, thread and some wallpaper. It's pretty much mixed media at that point I guess. But I think it's cute. I figured it would be good to do at least one per week as a gift to myself and for myself. (the time, not the card) I'll be putting in on Monday Artday tonight!
