Our SVS Virtual Studio JUNE 🌞 2019

[Coreyartus]

It's the 2nd of the month. Time to share.

I've been working on a made-up Oz series, trying to produce as much work as I can and force myself to mature a bit. I'm in a bit of a dream spot--I'm off for the summer because I teach, so I can devote all my energies to this right now. And I have to take advantage of it as much as I can. So I'm cranking out as much stuff as I can, and learning that being slow and precise is really where the good stuff happens for me... Hehe...

I've finally reached Tier 4 of the suggested curriculum, and I'm realizing this is where it gets harder. LOL! I'm pouring myself into these Oz images currently, trying to apply what I've learned on more than homework. I have no idea what I'm going to do with these, but I'm learning a lot. Eventually I'll move on to some other subject matter that allows me to play, but for right now it's Oz. Having fun on the journey so far!

Don’t know what the weather is like where you all live, but here it often changes several times a day It’s often hard to know how to dress. So this is part of a weather project I’m working on - I’m making many different types of weather and corresponding outfits, and then mix and match

@karolifo my son was just complaining of this on Friday. Dressed for the cold morning, he’s dying of the heat by the time school is out.

Today I had time to just play. I decided to use a small watercolor sketchbook I have to just experiment with shape, color and texture. Here is my usual watercolor and colored pencil but I decided to add some graphite. My erasing shapes was difficult - it's a small sketchbook and I don't have a tiny eraser. But I just ordered a Tombow micro eraser that should arrive tomorrow!

@karolifo This is really great. What a fun Idea!

[Buddy Skelton]

Bee.

[Amber Lynn Benton]

@Buddy-Skelton Wow! Exquisite brushwork!

@Coreyartus These are all so well-envisioned and atmospheric! I love the idea of the carnivorous poppies haha :^)

[bnewman]

@burvantill oooh, I love this! Gave me instant chills. Great idea and well rendered.

@karolifo this looks like fun - almost like a game! And so appropriate for where I live. 80's yesterday, 46 this morning.

@MichaelaH This is shaping up really nicely. It's going to look wonderful when finished! Looking forward to seeing it. I enjoy seeing all of their facial expressions, and the rabbit pointing with the carrot is really neat, haha.

[karolifo]

@Kat Thanks! It is based on a game I’m planning on making it into a game too

Hello everyone. Something different from me, a girl racing her beautiful horse.

[MichaelaH]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Nice, the horse looks little bit like paper cut horse, very nice.

[Susan Marks]

@Coreyartus Tier 4! Wow...
These are great images-and how great that you have the summer for focus on this.

I really love color--but I think the black and white (with blue)-is super powerful.

[Susan Marks]

@chrisaakins I like this a lot! Is it an anniversary homage? And do the pages of text have specific meaning to the couple?

[Susan Marks]

@burvantill While technically June--I usually wrap up my previous month with a "top 3"--my favorite, best images I drew in the past month, and then I post this as the co ver to that month's journal.

@Susan-Marks it was a wedding gift. The pages were random but I used the titles to accent the beauty of marriage.
