Joy to the World-New Snow Family for 2014

I apologize for the extra post..computer issues!

I like to have a new Snow Family every year, and this is the one I came up with so far.
I have a couple more ideas. This family just got back from picking out their tree, and are excited to go back home and get it decorated! This is available for cards. If you are interested in any snow people checkout my website http://www.suzypal.com
There are a lot to choose from.

Blick art supplies

I received a big box of awesome art supplies from Dick Blick! I am so excited to try some of it out! So much color for me to experiment with. In the bottom of the box there is a also box of photo paper and 2 large black canvases. 

Blick Art Material Halloween Contest

I entered Dick Blicks Halloween online show, and won the mixed media category! I was shocked and excited. They will be sending something. I am guessing it will be art supplies.  It will be such fun to open it up and see what all is in it! I probably will post it too!

This Week's Sketches and Homework

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!

Sketched from a little decoration I have.

Our homework this week in Sketchbook Skool Storytelling was to draw in Black and White. We were to just choose people from magazines or our own photos. The first two were from magazines, and the other two were from a trip somewhere. I like the stark black and white.  I used a pentel brush pen to do the black background.  I drew with pencil first, then a Pitt drawing pen.

The white petunias I drew with the tobacco ink that I like so much. and the geraniums with Noodlers Lexington Gray. These Flowers were from my yard, and porch.

This past week the instructor was Melanie Reim and we were to go to a park or somewhere an sketch people. People are really a weakness for me. I had to go to a big town to the mall and dis office to get mine done. They aren't great but was a fun exercise for me!  I also sketched in our town on Friday. The old Motel sign.

New Sketches

 




I have been doing some more sketches. I signed up again for Sketchbook Skool, Story telling but I haven't had a chance to do my home work yet. The first sketch is a little bear and daisy set up that we used in my class last week. 
The Black Bird was in our pasture and I zoomed in and got his photo.
The hay bales are our neighbors. I went down today after lunch and sketched in the car. I loved it. It was such fun!
The last one is T-Bone, our daughter dog last winter in the snow in his new hoodie. he was just a fun little sketch!
The last one was in our Rodeo Parade in July.
Love those old cars!

Storytelling-Sketchbook Skool

The Homework was to illustrate a recipe as well as a manual on  'how to do something'

So, I tried to simplify after doing the huge pie! My manual is on 'how to plant Tulip Bulbs'

and another recipe on Breakfast Burritos. Where we live burritos are a big part of our menus.

You can make a burrito out of most anything, but is really good with eggs, peppers and potatoes!
