Cheesecake Strawberries
UPDATE: Try marscapone cheese instead of cream cheese…your life will never be the same…nor will your ass/waist/thighs- lol! These cheesecake strawberries are light and tasty, perfect for this warm weather. With only five ingredients and no cooking, they’re also easy to make. The recipe for them is on The Sweet Life. I used two tablespoons [...]
Fun Faces With Breakfast Food
Saw this face while making eggs Friday morning… Then I thought how waffles look a lot like the eyes of a fly… Which lead to making faces with our clementines. Some days I’m easily amused…
AEDM Day 15 and 16: Positively Negative
Aaaand I’m now caught back up on my Art Every Day Month! Also exciting and of note, this might be the furthest I’ve made it in Betty Edwards’ book since high school! So how’s everyone else doing with AEDM? To be honest, I’m really surprised (and proud of myself) for having caught back up and [...]
Art Every Day Month- Day 7-14 Catch Up
As you can see, I fell WAY behind completing and posting for the Art Every Day Month challenge. I am currently recovering from some nasty little virus that my son shared with me- yay, me. Since today was the first day since Friday I could actually stand to sit upright for any amount of time [...]
An Upside Down Dude: AEDM- Day 6
Today’s drawing exercise was to copy a line drawing upside down. So drawing this guy like this- Turned out like this- I love that this exercise is done early on in Betty Edwards’ book, sort of a “see, you CAN draw” confidence booster. Certainly turned out a hell of a lot better than yesterday’s memory [...]
A (Freaky) Face- AEDM: Day 5
This was another pre-instruction exercise from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. The assignment was to draw a familiar face from memory, and good God, did this turn out funky! I can’t even bring myself to admit whose face it’s supposed to be- lol! Oh, well, part of the process, eh?
A Face Vase- AEDM: Day 4
Another exercise from Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain workbook. The bottom half does all right, but towards the top the vase sort of turns into two different people. Regardless, I like this exercise, it kind of reminds me of the stacked bowl/vase pieces I created in my ceramics class in [...]
AEDM 2011: Day 3- A Room Corner
Nothing fancy here, today’s exercise was to draw the corner of a room. Obviously this is about perspective, scale, relations and whatnot. And obviously there are some areas that need some work. I’m okay with that. I’m not ok with using 2H pencils though; they draw far too light. I like the darker, smudgier qualities [...]
AEDM 2011: Day 2- Hand
Here’s Day 2 of my Art Every Day Month entries- Like I mentioned on my main blog, I’m spending the month working through Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain book and workbook. This was another pre-instruction drawing. Yesterday’s AEDM drawing (a bloated self portrait) can be seen here. Odd that I [...]
