New Art Blog

April 24, 2009 in Oops! I forgot to pick a category! by Elisha

First I would like to say that I removed all of my images from deviantArt. It was not where I wanted my artwork to be shown and their behavior to the artists was a little unsettling. I just bought my name as a domain and will be working diligently on […]

Painting as a lifestyle choice.

April 23, 2009 in From Me To You tagged artist / artwork / Painting as a choice by Elisha

My auction painting is up at deviantArt. You can check it out by clicking on the link to the left. It’s the one of the tulips. That was a horrible, yet wonderful experience all rolled into one. It was a great experience where I just happened to feel horrible for […]

News: Two of my WIPs are online at DeviantArt. The link is to the left. I have two more, but one is a surprise and they both need to be finished by Friday. I don’t want to take the time to load them twice in a few days because I […]

1 Hour Gesture

February 20, 2009 in Gesture Painting tagged 1 hour gesture / Art / artwork / gesture painting / paint / paint brush / Painting by Elisha

My favorite gesture by far. 3 minutes is almost too short for my style. The wet on wet technique that dominates my way of painting does not work well in such a short period of time. There’s no time to dry between layers and while everything blends together beautifully there’s […]

5 Minute Gesture

February 20, 2009 in Gesture Painting tagged 5 minute gesture / Art / artwork / paint / paint brush / Painting by Elisha

The first gesture of the week. I enjoy this one because it shows my progress from the first time I took this class. I was known as puddles that semester. Not because I have a habitual problem wetting the floor, but because all my gestures looked like puddles of color. […]

3 Minute Gestures

Meg This is Meg. This model was a bad two weeks for me. I don’t have anything against her, but I hate drawing her. She is near impossible. Her coloring is difficult as well. Every time I sat down I happened to be in mostly shadow and her shadows tend […]

Meg, 2-4-09 (40 Minutes)

February 20, 2009 in Water Color Painting tagged anatomy / Art / artwork / meg / paint / Painting / Watercolor by Elisha

I have started to turn this blog over to the sketchbook. I deleted most of my old assignments, except a few that I deemed necessary to show my progress over the last three years as well as paintings from last semester. I think that it is important to show my […]

One more thang….

February 20, 2009 in From Me To You tagged Painting / progress / sketch by Elisha

This is what I have been slaving over for the last week… *Edit: I changed the color balance to show a closer version of the color of the painting. My camera takes very yellow pictures because of the flash. I need the flash because I am too shaky to take […]

*Edit:This is an updated picture. I finally had time to set up my wonderful HP Photosmart C4580. (It’s amazing!) I also finally installed Photoshop on my computer not too long ago and now I am able to scan my paintings and let Photoshop piece them back together. This makes a […]

Joe

January 10, 2009 in Oops! I forgot to pick a category! by Elisha

This is a portrait of Joe’s mom. There are a few things that I really like about this painting, mostly in the face. I like the way I painted the eyes and skin tone. I don’t like that I messed up on the drawing of the eyes and they are […]
