Music and Arts Weekend

This weekend June 19th-20th at Old Sturbridge Village, I will be cutting silhouettes in the Fitch House again. Needless to say, I am quite excited:

And a sketch of mine. My camera and computer are not talking at the moment it seems, so it may be a little while until I can ever post the finish of that last painting.

And in other news I am trying to get back in the habit of daily sketchbooking. I am not quite there yet, but I am getting better. Look for those updates soon!

Painting Progress

So I seemed to get very busy very recently so my painting got a little delayed, but I am hoping to have it finished by this evening. So, working my in progress complete with coleus plant propping my illustration board up:

And, to show I am working on them, one of my Old Sturbridge Village sketches; this one of the stagecoach and its driver.

Look out soon for that painting finish. Now back to those Colonial Williamsburg Podcasts!

Leave it to line art

Trying to come up with a good front image for my postcard, here are a few sketches of ideas. I am leaning towards the top one if the finish comes out well. I just transfered it to illustration board yesterday.

But yes, from the sketchbook:

Also, I have two full images lined for my OSV colouring book idea and a third that I am on the fence about. Not bad non?

Also, for those who follow these things, I got a job at Old Sturbridge Village--for the summer for now, but still--so expect more images of the village in the coming months.

Bonnet - In progress

As an update to this dear blog, I though I would post an in progress piece. I am in the process of redoing this vignette of a hat and hatbox I had done for Illustration Thesis last semester. Deciding what colour and pattern to make the hatbox is proving to be quite the trial though.
