R Is For Painting The View From The Rim of The World Highway

My painting of the view from the Rim of the World Highway.

I created a painting of the view from the Rim of the World Highway using oil paints.

Here is the first part of the painting.

This is the second part of my painting the view from the Rim.

This video illustrates how the completed painting of the view from the Rim of the World Highway turned out.  I liked the rock formation in the foreground, and there is just something beautiful about looking at boulders.  Do you enjoy oil painting?

Q Is For Making A Quarter-Fold Card

Quarter-fold card with an image of Hawaii that I drew on the front with pencil and colored pencil.

Today the letter Q is for making a quarter fold card. The card above is one I created with an image of a Hawaiian beach drawn on the front, and you can see the tutorial I created here.

Another quarter-fold card that I created had a picture of a Hawaiian sunset that I drew on the front.

 

I drew a Hawaiian sunset on this handmade quarter-fold card.

Quarter-fold cards are easy to create. Simply fold a sheet of paper in half, and then into a quarter to create the quarter fold card. I like drawing pictures on the front, and the video below illustrates how I created the Hawaiian sunset drawing on a quarter-fold card. Do you like drawing images on the front of cards?

P Is For The Puppy Card

A puppy card I made for my nephew’s birthday.

Today the letter P is making for a puppy card.


Grids are highly useful when you want to sketch something quickly and accurately. Take a look at the videos to see how I created this lovely puppy birthday card for my nephew.

Also, the great thing about coloring in the puppy is that it will cover up the grid lines, so no one will know you did not draw your illustration freehand! Also, I painted mod podge over the puppy card to give it a lustrous painting like effect.
