WOYWW - What´s Your Workdesk Wednesday

July 16, 2014

The desk looks pretty much the same as last week. This week went by fast. The "icad - Index Card a Day" Prompts this week are good ones. I have really enjoyed creating them. I went to a Ceramics Studio this week and hand painted a necklace pendant and a breakfast board... ceramic not wood. That wasn´t really on my desk. But a creative thing this week. 

My work space with my pencil sketchbook on it.

An Owl Sketch. I have been inspired lately to draw Owls.
I really like them.

I found it to be a really cool graphic.

That is what is new this week. Thank You for visiting. Have a Great Week. : )

I have been doing the "icad- Index Card a Day" each day since it started. I  have been writing some poetry this week and started a new poetry blog from this one. In hopes to keep things more organized.  Below are photo and about what is going on there. :)

Have a Great Week Everyone... and Thank You for visiting my Blog. 

The work desk as it is now. : )
I use a piece of paper as a mat. I doodle, make notes, and use it to test
watercolors color before putting on the artwork.
I drink coffee and tea at my desk. You can see that. ; )
My Compose is there too a tool for measure and proportions.
I got new Water-soluble wax pastels. I like them. 

A sketch I drew while having coffee this morning.
The mandela is for the green prompt
for the index card a day - icad.
The pencil case shows my watercolor pencil and  new x-acto knife
 (the scissors are good but not good enough sometimes).
I use reading glasses for detailed work. 

Sketch I did last night. Inspired by a cloud formation i seen this last week.
I posed my wooden art  mannequin in the same position I remembered seeing.
Added wings and added my own details. 

Icad - Index Card a Day. Tag was the prompt for this one. 

Sketch I drew early in the week....

...drew again 2 days later and watercolored this one. 

Inspire Me Monday - July 7, 2014

Inspire Me Monday

July 7, 2014 

I have been writing some Haiku Poetry (5-7-5 syllables) and putting some of them with my photography and artwork. Which is a new inspiration to go along with my usual photography, drawing and painting. I have Summer break from my German learning class for the next 6 weeks. I will continue to learn over the Summer and have more time for travel and being creative.

This week I am inspired to finish painting a sketch a sketch I drew. I am almost finished. 

A sketch from this last week.
I wrote a Haiku Poem for this too. 

I decided to draw this again and use watercolor
 on stronger paper. I am almost finished.

Outdoor Craft Mall

I am already inspired by the "Outdoor Craft Mall" I visited yesterday in Mönchengladbach Germany. I love religious icons. 

 A girl I had bought jewelry from before 

brought this one from Bulgaria for me. 

I wanted this for awhile. : )

 The Icad- Index Card a Day.

I have been keeping up with it each day. Followed the Prompts and I am happy to say it has improved my art, inspired me to try new techniques and use new tools and mediums.
It's not expensive paper so it's a good test drive for trying something new. 

Icad- Index Card a Day
The prompt was Tag.
This is each side of the Tag.

I have been working with the Fountain Pen and Ink; which is a new medium for me. Practicing and getting used to the Pen. I have also been keeping up with icad - Index Card a Day. I really enjoy this. Each day is a different Theme on index cards. This is a good way for me to practice new mediums like Pen and Ink with Watercolors. The cards are not too expensive. I did buy the Bristol Paper Cards in 2 sizes. I did a few sketches and finished one I was working on. 

The pen and ink pictures I have done this week.
The Harry Potter picture/card is for tomorrow's icad.
I Knitted the Sweater on the Bear.

This week I am working on "icad" Index Card a Day mostly. I got new plain Bristol Paper index cards; great for sketching, ink and watercolors. I love them. I got a new Corkboard above my Work Desk for inspiration and notes. I am going to get a larger Corkboard this is good for now. I will use this one in the kitchen when I get the new one. Tomorrow I begin my German Language Class. So this seems a good time to start to start my new Journal/Notebook.  So that is what is new and going on at the work desk. : ) 

The new Corkboard/Bulletin Board
above my workdesk.
My Cat thinks he works there too. He loves it. : )
