Snail, Art 365-16-146

Do you ever have days when you feel like a slug and you’re moving at a snail’s pace?

Snail, Art 365-16-146, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

Rainy days do that to me.  With all the gloomy, rainy days we’ve had I feel like I’m barely inching along.  We need SUNSHINE!!!!!  Of course, by July I’ll probably be praying for rain, LOL!  I need to practice being thankful for what we have and when we have it, even if it is weeks of dreary, soggy weather….

Flower Pup ala Danielle, Art 365-16-145

I had a blast creating this little flower pup!!

I am so glad I took Danielle’s class.  It’s inspired me to create these little whimsical creatures and brought a lot of joy into my art and my days!  I don’t know about other folks, but I like happy art, things that make me smile and brighten my day.  There is so much negative stuff going on in the world.  To deal with it all, we need something to lighten our hearts and restore our joy in life.

Confetti Monkey, Art 365-16-144,

I don’t know why, but this little critter reminds me of confetti!!

Confettii Monkey, Art 365-16-144, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

Maybe because confetti is fun little bits of color?  Well, this lil’ monkey is certainly full of bits of color and I had a blast making him!!

For this guy I went back to the Sketch and Wash pencil instead of using a charcoal pencil.  I like the feel of the charcoal, the slight drag as you draw is very tactile and pleasing.  However, the Sketch and Wash doesn’t need a fixative and makes nice darks.  Plus, as the name suggests, it does wash out to beautiful shadows.

Mark 1:35, Art 365-16-143

I was at a loss for what to do for this Sunday’s Bible journaling, so I asked God to give me inspiration.  He showed me one of Sue’s awesome doodles over at Doodle 101.

Mark 1:35, Art 365-16-143, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

She posted about craving God even more than our morning coffee (or for me tea) and spending time with Him first before anything else in the day.

This really resonated with me as I’m two weeks into a commitment to get up at 5 AM every day to spend time with God.  (Plus, get my hours straight after having a house full of night owl college students rubbing off on me.)  It’s not easy but it’s worth it.  Sitting at the top of our stairs today, soaking in the morning sun as it came through our entry window while reading my Bible and spending time in prayer was a beautiful blessing and a great start to my day!!

Twink Butterfly, Art 365-16-142

Photographing the shimmer of Twinkling H2O’s seems to be next to impossible for me!  I wasted so much time trying to take a pic of this Twink Butterfly that I wasn’t able to do all my Photoshop resizing, framing, etc. to post it with Comicon going on today.

I’m still not happy with the photo, but it needs posted for Art 365-16 before I get swamped in backed up, double and triple blog posts.

Twink Dragonfly, Art 365-16-141

Sorry this is late.  I barely had time to snap a quick Ipad pic and post to the 2016 Resolution Facebook group before going to COMICON(!!!) with R1 and R3.  Oddly enough, when I had time to get a ‘real’ photo of this twink dragonfly the camera didn’t capture as much of the sparkly goodness of the Twinkling H2O’s as my Ipad.  Go figure.

With my camera:

I don’t usually use Twinks since I have to prepare them in advance with a good dousing of water, but for some subjects they are just so perfect it’s worth the extra planning.

Ink Bunny, Art 365-16-140

This little ink bunny was inspired by the gazillion bunnies R3 and I saw on our walk yesterday.  The cute fur balls were everywhere along the trail!!

Ink Bunny, Art 365-16-140, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

I am so loving scribbling away with dip pens and ink.  I just concentrate on shadows and darks, without naming or really pondering ‘what’ I’m drawing.  When I finish and lift my head up to see the finished product I’m always amazed and surprised.  All those individual darks and scribbles unite and merge to make a complete drawing and likeness of the subject.  Awesome!!

Teddy, Art 365-16-139

I just adore this little teddy!

 

Teddy, Art 365-16-139, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

I don’t know if it’s the fluffy, woolly texture of his cap or the cool color effects in his body.  Maybe, it’s using the charcoal pencil for some added depth and variety in line weight. Perhaps it’s because I used some of my favorite colors for him.   All I know is that he makes me smile!!

Lollipop Flowers, Art 365-16-138

I had a blast scribbling some lollipop flowers for today!

Lollipop Flowers, Art 365-16-138, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

Playing around in a sketchbook can be so freeing.  It’s like the drawings don’t really count, there’s no pressure to make ‘Real Art’.  You can just let go, have fun and experiment.  I love trying out new techniques in mine.  whoknows, I may find a new fave!!

Lilac Experiment, Art 365-16-137

Today’s Art 365-16 was a fun little lilac experiment.

Lilac Experiment, Art 365-16-137, RaSonya Pearce, www.FaithworksArtStudio.com

I wanted to see if I could translate an acrylic demo of lilacs by Diane Trierweiler into watercolor. The two paints and methods of working are so different that I thought it would be a fun challenge.  I like the little sketch that resulted and think it has enough possibilities to try it out on a larger, real painting.  I would leave off the pen and ink though.  Much as I love ink, it doesn’t sit well around the lilacs.

A Who Christmas Tree

While browsing on DeviantArt (not as diabolical as the name sounds- the site originally was folks who took computer applications and ‘deviated’ them from their original purpose) I found a cute stock photo by Pink-Stock  titled Whoville Tree: Adorable right?  Well, being the rabid Dr. Who fan that I am the name immediately made me […]

Closeup view of a watercolor of cattails by RaSonya Pearce

Cattail Explosion

The cattails exploding with fluffy seeds along our walking trail were so captivating that I couldn’t resist painting them– The weather here in the Midwest has been swinging wildly between bitter cold and balmy warm days.  The day I took this photo I was able to go walking in a t-shirt, in January!!! When I […]
