Course

I am the kind of person, always trying to improve my artskills - and in this case; painting skills.

So I have enrolled in a course, and are working on excercises. And I think the teacher should be the first to see :) Quite time consuming and I have to work 3 in a row, so will be some time before they appear here.

I do work on something different too, and will show that in time... it's a cat. I haven't done so many cats. Therefor the image of this post is cut from an earlier catpainting: Flying mouse - playfull kitten.

New website

well, it is not long ago since I announced that I cancelled my website/homepage.

I now have a new one:

http://theplanet.dk/lenedaugaard/

This website is a bit more integrated with my blog, so I'll be able to maintain it in less time.

Here is my finished painting.
Approx. 30x42 cm on acrylic paper.

It has been a very good lesson, and experience with the acrylic paint.

The colors is a bit off, as the yellows are less bright and the rocks more subdued in RL. But as my scan was even worse, this digishot is the best I can show..

Working on the 3.rd wolf. This painting is a big challenge to me.

I love this

I started the "I love this"-posts in january 2011, and will make a montly post with a couple of "I love this" drawings or paintings. Why not applaude something you really admire and love to look at :) Enjoy! As I cannot copy-paste other artists work, I have placed a link on the title.

I have made a change from this month on - I will post only one link of beautiful art each month.

"Visiting aunt Maude". Graphite drawing by Mike Sibley. Mike makes some of the best dog art, I have seen. His detailed graphite drawings are awesome. This drawing is so filled with atmosphere and a masterpiece in pencil. Just look at those wonderful airedales! I love it.

An update on my acrylic painting.

The colors are not quite true - the wolves not so yellow, but more brownish in the shadows. As my scan was even worse, this must do for now.

PS I have added a newsletter, see tab News on top of page.

Finally I got time to paint a little more on this. Here the first wolf is almost completed, and I have started on the second wolf.

No website

Today I closed my website.

I will concentrate on the blog with pages included (tabs at top), my Facebook Art Fanpage and different on-line galleries to show and tell about my art.

I do like websites, but found I just used a lot of time, updating the same stuff in 6 different places, as I do both danish and english versions.

Down to blogs and fanpages it will be 3 places.... Gives me time for a bit more drawing and painting too...

And I hope to be able to paint more on my "Tundra Kingdom" painting soon...

Here is the first wolf. It has a baselayer, and several detail layers. Still need to tweek a bit.
