Princess of Swords




Continuing on from the two previous posts,these are the eight,ninth and tenth photos along the way(starting from the top).
I can see the important base shapes taking form nowand I'm pleased at the results here.
I'm really looking forward to getting some of the finer detailing in when this stage is complete. As many of the shaped run into each other and I want to keep the tones quite soft and dark, the detailing and her 'accessories' will be added layer by layer so as not to overwork any areas. I thought this would be a piece to challenge myself with - I wasn't wrong! Creating a painting can get a bit scary at this stage-will the finished piece live up to the hopes and vision in my mind??? They rarely do for me,but if I LIKE it that will be enough for now-meanwhile I continue to be absorbed and thriled by the whole process and my need to see it through to the end!

New Artist Trading Cards for the collector in you... ;)

New ACEO designs just added to my ebay store. What are ACEOs???? ACEO is the acronym for "Art Cards Editions and Originals". An ACEO is a small piece of art that can be defined by it's convenient 2.5 x 3.5 inch size. (Standard trading card size) ACEOs are VERY different from trading cards however, because they are CREATED and traded or sold by artists. All my ACEOs are absolute ORIGINAL pieces of art! (Some artists choose to sell prints of their work -'editions' ) ACEOs are created in any medium available in the art world. Artists are creating them in ALL kinds of styles and varieties. There are no rules limiting the artist, outside of the size dimensions. ACEOs can be framed, propped, used as bookmarks,grouped together in larger frames......use YOUR imagination! Trading Card notebooks, sleeves and holders can all be used to display them. BECOME A COLLECTOR YOUR SELF OR BEGIN A COLLECTION AS A SPECIAL GIFT FOR A FRIEND TODAY-THE VARIETIES ARE ENDLESS!
