The Art Lab, Episode 51: Mixed Media Owl

Hello, dears!

This week it’s my turn for Art Lab, and I have something a little different than my usual watercolor art for you today. 🙂 Quite different, in fact: in this post I shall give you guys a tutorial on how to make a cute owl with graphite and colored pencil shavings! 😀

But first, the inspiration behind the art: Continue reading

More Art :)

Halloo, my friends! I’ve been drawing a lot lately, so I decided to show you what I’ve been working on…

Like a random watercolor flower. XD

I’m kinda proud of this quote because it took me like ten tries to get the lettering right. XD Well actually it isn’t really a quote because I made it up, but you know… 😛

Hee hee! Isn’t this one funny? I made it for an Art Class assignment – art inspired by your favorite smell.

A not too interesting but pretty landscape…

Ugh, the sun was a bit harsh so there are way too many shadows on this picture, but oh well. This is a mixed media piece with tissues for the curtains and rug ( XD ), piano book pages for the sun rays, scrapbook paper for the bedcovers, and duct tape for the window. The rest is just drawing or watercolor.

Another art assignment. 🙂 (Actually a lot of these are art assignments.) We were supposed to do Pop Art, so I did a gummy bear because we were eating them in class anyway. XD

Random birds on a wire. 🙂

Ooh, this is one of my favorites! I really like how the pattern turned out 3-D-ish.

For some reason I felt like drawing mountains…

And more mountains…

I don’t really know why I drew this… XD

This was a “Forced Perspective” piece for art class.

Excuse my fingers. 😛

Weird cubism bird…

I decided to include this even though I already posted about here for Art Lab. 😉 I think this is one of my favorite pieces of art I’ve ever done!

DSC_1459 (1280x853)

Yikes, this is a terrible picture! Oh well, you get the point. I did a mixed media quote/hymn thingy. 🙂 I used tissue paper, book pages, buttons, paint, and even paper clips and corn kernels to make the flowers and leaves! XD

DSC_1474 (1280x1259)

I felt like drawing a girl. Not much other explanation. XD

DSC_1460 (1280x960)

This is another of my very favorites! I really like the Zentangle/doodle type of art.

DSC_1461 (853x1280)

It’s kind of hard to take a picture of the whole thing, so here’s just the head so you can see it a bit better. 🙂

One reason why I like this so much is because it took FOREVER to make. XD Especially the mane – I made a herringbone pattern with a super fine-tip pen. It was fun, but quite time consuming. XD

Which do you see first, a face or two trees and a moon?

DSC_1472 (1280x853)

I got inspiration from Pinterest for this one (and for some of these other art pieces too). I like how it turned out!

DSC_1449 (1280x853)

That was fun. 🙂 As you can see, I rather like art! Do you? Which of those pictures was your favorite? What is your favorite art medium to use?
