So far, we've had the whole Italian experience. I've made so much pasta fagioli and alfredo sauce that I'm seriously going to eat an entire brick of cheddar when I get home. (How does an entire country not have cheddar cheese?) Our flat was also robbed while we were out of town, which puts a huge damper on my computer training, as I now have no computer. The school loaned one to my husband for school work since we can't get the replacement shipped over.
Most valuable item stolen - the husband's MacBook, complete with his entire portfolio.
Most infuriating - my red and black 1928 and pearl necklaces. I can't replace these.
Most ridiculous - a half used can of Burt's Bees Miracle Salve. A grade A pomade indeed.
All of my art supplies and yarn were curiously left behind...
...LET'S PAINT SOME RABBITS!
Though I don't have an account, I was inspired by Deviant Art's Draw it Again contest. I'd previously made a book of Alice in Wonderland with rabbits for an art course. Those drawings are long gone, but the concept remains. I'm redrawing the scenes from before and adding in some new ones. Here's the first of the series. |
| Here's the initial idea for the hookah-smoking caterpillar. I changed the dynamic of the scene in the little sketch. |
 |
| Pencil of the final concept. |
 |
| Paint on the bunterpillar. |
 |
| The water color is finished. |
 |
| Added marker, ink and a Photoshop overlay to the stem of the mushroom. The colors are a bit screwy from the scanner, so I'll probably re-scan the watercolor layer and swap it to get the greens back. Still, I'm pretty pleased with where it is now. |
That's about all I have to say about that.
