WIP: Monochromatic and Mixed Media Painting.

I've wanted to do something like this for awhile now, and I just recently started a new painting so it seems like the perfect time to start my WIP (works in progress) posts.  As I go through working on this project, I'll take you along, ask for advice, and we shall see what else!

 For awhile I wanted to incorporate glitter into a painting.  This will probably end up being a more abstract piece but I like where it's going so far.

The glitter seems to be sticking pretty well.  Before I painted the glitter on, I totally spilled the container all over my desk.  Klutzy moment (story of my life, haha).

I definitely want to keep my brush strokes visible.  I feel like those add character to a painting.

I'm not too sure what I'm going to do now to it as a whole but I know how I'm going to paint the canvas sides.  Of course, I know how I'm going to finish it but how to get there?  I'm still working on it.

In the mean time, this is what I have so far.  I'll be back with an update.   Who knows when that'll be. :)  

Any ideas, comments or concerns? Leave them in a comment below or feel free to tweet me (@cindydesigns).

I'm adding this picture just because I thought it was a cool shot. 

Project #6: Pink Cinderella's Castle

Hey guys! ( :  Hope everyone is doing great.

From project numero two, I mentioned making a set of drawings similar, yet each one different.  The next one in the set is a one color interpretation.

On bristol board, use a pink Pigma Micron 01 sketching pen.

Which style do you prefer better?  Feedback is appreciated.  Just leave me a comment, or tweet me @cindydesigns.

Again, thank you to those of you who has followed me on this blog!! I appreciate it. :] If anyone has an art, or some type of creative blog let me know.  I'd love to check it out.  Actually, any type of blog I would check out.  Seriously. :)

Project #2, Cinderella's Castle.

Or rather an interpretation of it using a black and a blue sketching pen on bristol board.

hand drawn first, then used sketching pens to add detail. Click to enlarge.

I am planning on making a set of drawings like this one, except each one slightly different.  Cinderella and Disney are two things which those close to me will say I am a fan of.  A lot.  

This is more of a fantasy drawing of the castle.  In the original picture I took (in Disney World!) there was a lot of heads of people blocking the stage part.  So, I added cloud like shapes to add a bit of a fantasy flair to it.

What other ways would you make this your own? 

Try it!
