Oil Spill - Ink, Watercolor, and Colored Pencil 2013
Tumblr and Portfolio.
I like the splashes of colour and lazily coloured background with the contrasting clean black lines over the top which gives it a street like feel to the overall image.

Here I looked for Birds and Butterflies/Insects. Although the specific exhibition of Birds and Insects was not open, I still managed to find a large range to work from.

This image really inspired me in the way that the figure in it is elegant, seemingly weightless and free. From this image it made me think of natural forms in dance.

I like how this image is full of layers and it looks like a layer mask was used in Photoshop to get the empty white space around it.
I always love the study of hair on sketches by different artists because they all have their own technique of drawing it. This also inspired my Halloween costume.

I like the merging of insects into the facial features it's uncanny with the misplacement and almost grotesque but the subject is very beautiful and conflicting.

I am always constantly fascinated with drawing hair because it's so fine so it's hard to draw but there are so many different ways of articulating hair in sketches.
The wings and composition inspired me in this image and I tried to capture the flow of the butterfly wings and petals with a fine liner, however the weight of the pen didn't quite work.

I was really pulled in by this artists technique of drawing because I like how she creates quite 3D looking flowers that are actually simple flat colours, and the way in which she brings all the elements together in one glorifying composition with some intricate details and blocks of colour.

This was amazing in person she cut the paper so finely that when it was made into a huge pile and strung up I almost wanted to touch it!
I adore the embroidery into the sketches.

Windswept by Charles Sowers
Art installation fixed outside a gallery’s wall, displaying natural flow and turbulence of the wind - via dezeen:
Hundreds of spinning blades reveal the invisible patterns of the wind in American artist Charles Sowers’ kinetic installation on the facade of the Randall Museum in San Francisco.
The installation, titled Windswept, consists of 612 rotating aluminium weather vanes mounted on an outside wall. As gusts of wind hit the wall, the aluminium blades spin not as one but independently, indicating the localised flow of the wind and the way it interacts with the building.
“Our ordinary experience of wind is as a solitary sample point of a very large invisible phenomenon,” said Sowers. “Windswept is a kind of large sensor array that samples the wind at its point of interaction with the Randall Museum building and reveals the complexity and structure of that interaction.”
You can find out more at Dezeen here, with photos and a video of the work in action.

Taking a double-exposed photo is a challenge on its own, but one artist thought of taking doubles up a notch and succeeded, with amazing results. How? By painting. You are definitely curious, so go ahead and read on!

Sapphire sea, an endless blue sky, the scent of sweet flowers drifting on the breeze, and a girl dreaming of her lover. Dutch born Victorian artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema painted scenes of languid beauties reminiscent of Roman deities, but his subjects are unmistakably human. Caught in a moment of relaxation or idle daydream…we can almost feel the cool marble and the warm Mediterranean sunlight. Elements of precious embellishment, sun drenched color and effortless luxury set the stage for our modern goddesses.

Colin Johnson hyper-collages natural forms
Colin Johnson hyper-collages natural forms
Over the past 3-4 years, Johnson’s work has reflected his growing
interest in environmental issues such as pollution and the neglect of
earth’s resources. Within a single piece, the artist contrasts highly
detailed collage work with a variety of straight painting techniques.
Usually the imagery depicted is of plant forms, some real, some
fantastical. Johnson’s pieces contain so many levels of detail that they
can be enjoyed from afar, or as close as an eyelash away from the
surface!

Drawing with glue
I tested out drawing dew on a drawing with glue. There's almost a completely different picture when the glue dries clear and looks more like water.
