Finished Painting Buster




I am so excited because today I have finally finished painting Buster! Even though he is a male dog I made his collar pink because I thought it would be a nice contrast to his banana nut bread colored fur. Also, men can also wear pink, so anyone who thinks otherwise should be more open about that!

His eyes are a rich chocolate brown, and catch the reflection of the light.I love how I decided to make the background for Buster aquamarine, which compliments his fur so well. The one thing I hate about painting is cleaning the paint brushes, and lately I have to be careful doing that because my sink has clogged up a few times. Now I will be using the non-toxic paint remover/soap and a jar of water to clean my brushes. At the bottom of my blog our a few paint sets I wish I could buy, but I will just have to finish using the ones I have on hand.

The Bobby Cat Drawing







Here is a series of drawings showing the progress towards achieving my completed Bobby cat drawing. First Bobby started out as a Halloween bag, but then she became a drawing after I could not finish the craft in time for Halloween. I simply cut the picture off of the bag, and I painted mod podge over it to give it more of a paint like effect. Right now it is drying, and I will eventually frame this beautiful picture of Bobby. I created the cool moon like effect by first coloring in gray, and then using a white colored pencil to create the craters. This is one of my favorite drawings in a very long time, and now I am thinking about creating a book with illustrations!
