#4 of Search For 10 Art Journey for creating Search For 10 "BarnYard Adventures". Here are the 5 loose thumbnail sketches I made. Keep in mind my Post #2 showing the school mural sketch on calendar paper turned into a 37 foot long mural! As you can see, the first 2 thumbnails are from the perspective of inside the barn, looking out. Not very much scenery shown here though. The next 3 thumbnails are from the perspective of outside the barnyard. The questions in these 3 really came down to: How big to make the buildings? How much space for the animals and scenery? #5 is the lucky winner! It had a large enough barn to also show some animals inside it, but still much room for animals in the foreground and scenery in the background. However, I did flip it horizontally, so the buildings are now on the left side. I am almost finished with my 6"x9" sketch that will have some more detail in it. Stay tuned until next week!

I short video of my steps in creating my colored pencil drawing, a commission for Canvasback ducks! “Collette’s Fine Art & Graphics” #Coloredpencil#Commissions#Wildlife #People#Cherished memories.

The hellish animal, the Wolf of Darkness! This one was really challenging for me because I usually use lines to create shapes and objects in space. However, I really want to return to painting (a method of shapes searching I haven't used since university), so this Wolf became the first piece of this process (as part of Smirnov School competition for concept artists (https://lnkd.in/gG29ZYd4)). #ConceptArtistRPG #ConceptArtistRPGX

Embracing the artistry of old-school farm mechanics at work – there's a beauty in the way hands that have weathered time effortlessly coax life into timeless machines. 🚜💨 In the symphony of creaking gears and whispered conversations, I freeze-framed this moment, where the wisdom of the past converges with the innovation of the future. As a storyteller behind the lens, I find inspiration in the mundane, turning ordinary scenes into extraordinary tales. Here, the camaraderie of these mechanics becomes a narrative in itself – a conversation that transcends generations and machines. 👨🌾 Witnessing this scene, I couldn't help but marvel at the dedication etched into every line on their faces, the shared laughter, and the unspoken understanding that comes from years of craftsmanship. Black and white photography has the power to strip away distractions, leaving behind raw emotions and the essence of the moment. This photo, converted to black and white, captures the timeless beauty of craftsmanship, friendship, and tradition. 🔍 #FarmLife #Craftsmanship #OldSchoolMechanics #BlackAndWhitePhotography #StoryBehindTheLens Let's continue celebrating the artistry that exists in every corner of our lives.

Whilst the shop's closed (and sometimes when we're open), I love working on nautical stitched art commissions. If you're looking for a gift with meaning, call in and take a look at my own pieces, all created from maritime charts, both new and old - many of them fairly local. Always ask if you're looking for somewhere special - I'll be able to tell you if I have something or if it's something that I can create specially for you. Now that we can also take orders for bespoke framing in-store, the whole thing's as easy as 1-2-3! See exactly how easy it is to commission something for a loved one: https://lnkd.in/e-cHibm . . #navistitch #nauticalstitchedart #maritimememories #coastalgifts #preservingmemories #bespokegift #shoppinginmanningtree #manningtreehighstreet #manningtreevibes #maritimecharart #nauticalart #customartessex #commissionedartessex #pictureframing #framingmanningtree #framingessex #pictureframingessex

The Hidden Door One stormy night, Max couldn’t sleep. Strange tapping noises lured him to the basement. Holding his lantern and clutching Teddy, he discovered a trapdoor. Opening it, Max found a hidden world beneath the floorboards. With Teddy by his side, he stepped into the unknown, ready for whatever lay ahead. #conceptart #illustration #artwork #story #digitalart
