Drawing Class: Cones & Zirconia

Metallic Cone used in drawing classTonight we looked at the basic structure and shading of cones.  Using a spraypainted party hat as a model, I demonstrate the basic shape and shading of a cone.  We briefly discussed applying that to other triangles and cones in diamonds, bottles, and even the negative spaces in plants.

A Brief Note 18DEC2011

Hello Peoples!

Wholly Crap has ANOTHER week passed ALREADY?!?  All I really managed to accomplish this week was to get four new canvases primered and sweep up the sitting area in the studio. Of course, spending all day playing with Girl2 at The Hobby Lobby and The Home Depot didn’t help to get things done, but it most DEFINITELY made for a richer life!

If you have any announcements you would like made in the newsletter or tweeted about incessantly, drop me a line and I’ll toot your horn for ya.  ;)  There were no announcements this week.

New classes are being uploaded as I currently type this.  Hopefully, they will upload much faster from the studio’s high speed internet than they do from the house.  Be sure and check The Classroom to see any lessons you may have missed.

This week’s password is xmas  I know there should be a capital “x” but I don’t want to confuse anyone so all lower case.

The Classroom site is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/oasisgalleryok

Drawing Class: Line Captcha – Tuesday night 6pm central. So far we’ve seen a whole bunch of “Sketchy” lines.  This week, we’ll differentiate “Sketches” from “Drawings”.

Painting Class: Hydrant II – Wednesday night 6pm central. This week, we’ll choose our pallet and block in the colors of our fire hydrant.

The past classes are moving into the Pay-per-view side of ustream and on artisticbiker.com as well. $2 lets you view them online at Ustream, $5 lets you download them at artisticbiker.com, and a $10/month membership gets you unlimited downloads from the site.

Art Journal Holiday Diets

Diets are freaking POINTLESS during the holidays. People will for just OUT OF THE BLUE bring a spiced bread or home made fudge or bag of candy coated chocolate covered cherries… So I journaled about it. :)

The Ustream blew a breaker 20 minutes in, so there is a part I (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19170588) and a part II (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19170865) if you wish to see the two hour show in it's entirety.
The 7 minute You Tube version is available here: Art Journal Holiday Diets

New Stuffs!

So, since I was SO incredibly happy with my waterbrush filled with ink, I decided to try it with a whole series of pigmented inks. I bought the primaries and secondaries of Dr. Ph Martin's Bomby pigmented India inks (http://www.cheapjoes.com/cat/5670/)

Of course, before I can do anything else with them, I have to experiment to find out how they can be used. :) I'll post the results when I'm done, and I'll most DEFINITELY talk about the process on The Artistic Biker Live! Thursday night at 6p Central: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-artistic-biker

Daddy-Daughter Breakfast 17DEC2011

Girl2 and I have simplified breakfast into sharing whatever whoever decides first wants. For instance, if I wake up knowing I want eggs, we share eggs. If she wants pancakes first, that's what we get. Then we sketch while we wait on the food. This week, she wanted me to sketch her. So I did.
