She looked pretty with a flower in her hair

I am currently taking an online class with Katie Kendricks called Layered Impressions.
I'm enjoying it very much!
She's been teaching us how to draw with our left hand.
I love using my right hand as well; but with my non dominant hand ( which happens to be my left), it touches a part of me which makes me feel wholesome.
This is my second drawing.
When I draw with my left hand, it feels very good. It captures a part of me that is raw (for lack of better words) , and innocent.  The faces I create are not a perfect portrait, and I like that because we live in an 'imperfect world'. I like the asymetrical faces that comes out from an initial drawing. It gives them an amusing character, that always makes me smile.
The faces looks 'other worldly'; but at the same time some of the quirky looks that comes out of these drawings could define some real life characters.

Recycle Art Papier Mache!

Here are some of my papier mache art work.
These take quite awhile to produce as I layer the surface with strips of recycled
paper with an adhesive made of flour and water. When I'm done i let it sit to dry
for a couple of days.
Secondly I use a layer of gesso,and when dry i sand it lightly to smooth it
Thirdly is design and paints.
On the very last layer I used 4 coats of pouring medium which gives it a glossy look.


1. Something Fishy~ 4 sided panels
2. Three whimsical cats~3 sided panels.
3. Art Walk
