Guardian Angel

I don't know where this one came from, but i had this background i did a couple of months ago.
i sketched a face on in chalk then painted the outline in gesso. then i used a sponge to apply the next layer of paint.





i forgot to take a pic of when i sketched the angel on but i this is at the stage where she didn't have a face yet...



I didn't really like the way she looked at this stage so i changed her clothes and hair colour
the finished product

Edit: the second stage photo i digitally edited on photobucket and used it in a background of my own creation at pimp-my-profile.com

Sketches and watercolour pencil

I just remembered I had these pics on my computer... random sketches I did ages ago and I figured that its time I shared them with you



I love water colour pencil at the moment, just as much as I'm loving acrylic paints :) i tried to paint Mike's pic but it didn't work as well as i'd hoped. Has anyone got tips for transfering images to canvas?? cuz i really think i suck at that part XD

Inspired by Graffiti

Don't freak I'm not into putting my stuff on someone else's wall permanent and illegal like... However I do love how intricate and thought provoking some of it can be....

This one at the moment is a work in progress...i have more images i want to put on it but I'm yet to work out the layout but here's what it is so far.......


The heart in the centre is supposed to represent what the human heart is told/ thinks it wants or desires which is why its slightly darker and black in places... but i still feel that i haven't finished explaining/ painting all the concepts i want in this piece, but as it stands at the moment i think it looks pretty cool...which is saying something because i don't normally think that of my own stuff..

I did the background solid colours by staining with acrylic paint and the other hearts in the background aren't stained but the words and the heart were painted before i stained around them with the other colours....unfortunately the flash from my camera hides a lot of the detail of the centre heart....
