allows for free auction/sales for the artists. As Facebook also has one of the widest audiences, it is an ideal platform for promotion of an artist, their art and networking.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know that as artists - we work very hard and at all hours so to be able to incorporate Social Media right in with offering our work for sale is certainly a wonderful way to save time - allowing us more free time to actually spend on our art.&lt;br /&gt;Continuously listing items on other venues can be costly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what does Lynn hope to achieve with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheArtAuctionHouse/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TAAH&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&quot;I hope to provide artists with a free venue to promote and sell their art as well as reach a wider audience without having to incur additional costs.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fbcdn-photos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/9688_10151391782055945_218661868_a.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;288&quot; src=&quot;https://fbcdn-photos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/9688_10151391782055945_218661868_a.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Once Upon A Dream by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/pages/Katerina-Art/91520588028&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Katerina Koukiotis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you are an artist or a collector perhaps you had better head over to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheArtAuctionHouse/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Art Auction House&lt;/a&gt; and join this wonderful group filled with amazing Artists and their work.&lt;br /&gt;Because we all know you are on&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Facebook&lt;/a&gt; - Who Isn&#39;t ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you sign up soon you could even get the chance to win a $5 voucher for purchase on an Item in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheArtAuctionHouse/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TAAH&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/ArtworksOfLynnChua&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sponsored by Artworks of Lynn Chua&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4578753634641&amp;amp;set=o.422221944538726&amp;amp;type=1&amp;amp;theater&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/525175_4578753634641_1742710692_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little bit behind the Founder of TAAH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell me a little bit about you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;I am a self taught artist professional trained as an animator.

Plus they do not take up as much room as a larger artwork so more room for more little artworks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The challenge is for participating artists to create an ACEO a day based on the prompt/theme for that day - no cheating either ;)&lt;br /&gt;So (for example) the aceo prompt for Feb 14th is :&amp;nbsp;Paper Heart - Every artist participating will create a finished ACEO (no sketches) on the 14th Feb (not the day before or the day after) based on Paper Heart - interpreted how the feel.&lt;br /&gt;Some artists may not create one every day but I am certainly going to try - This is a challenge after all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Below the Prompts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Before I started on this I really needed to have worked out a plan for the background and not a number of loose ideas in my head. Below you can see the tonal painting:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u95Bdd48n5g/UInrNMQNXQI/AAAAAAAAAPU/i-m-McWbY6M/s1600/tbw04-04.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u95Bdd48n5g/UInrNMQNXQI/AAAAAAAAAPU/i-m-McWbY6M/s640/tbw04-04.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Before I started I really should have settled on a background that I was happy with – as you can see the original background is different to the final result. So the solution to this is more planning in the sketch stage so I can then create the tonal painting knowing that it was going to be the background.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;Artwork Issue #1- Lesson Learnt:&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt; We can do all these exercises til the cows come home but they mean nothing and are a waste of time if we have learnt or choose to learn nothing from it. So what did I learn from this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Preliminary work is as important if not more so than the actual painting process – if the composition, original sketch is weak from the very start than the final result will be too. If you take shortcuts and are lazy with this stage then you will pay for it later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Ok now on with the next problem ... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;Artwork Issue #2- Problem:&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt; Let&#39;s take a look at the lighting in the painting – there does not seem to be a real and definitive light source. The woman and her clothing seem to lack shadows or they are very weak and not quite deepened enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-thg7k52vtqU/UInrJl9GX2I/AAAAAAAAAPM/1YmCT6Tskn4/s1600/problem02.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;323&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-thg7k52vtqU/UInrJl9GX2I/AAAAAAAAAPM/1YmCT6Tskn4/s400/problem02.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;Artwork Issue #2- Method: &lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;I paid attention to where I felt the light was coming from and created shadows in the correct place.

This is the reason I feel that issue #2 is a major flaw in this artwork. I needed to deepen the shadows and not take them to a point where I felt comfortable with. Another reason for this could be that I am used to watercolours and once you darken an area there&#39;s not fixing it. But these are oils ... it could have been fixed if I had gone further. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;Artwork Issue #2- Lesson Learnt:&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt; Going into a painting freaking out that I will ruin it if I try anything different is not going to help me grow as an artist or to help increase my skills at anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Consciously pushing myself to do something &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#39;out of the paintbox&#39; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;is what will.

It was believed that by tying an accused up and throwing her into the water would help to prove her guilt or innocence of witch craft. If the water accepted her and she drowned then she was innocent, but it she was rejected by the water and lived - she was guilty of witchcraft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9fS50WM2JOs/UIIAxQIgwWI/AAAAAAAAANw/1B0qNoaWZOQ/s1600/tbw02.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9fS50WM2JOs/UIIAxQIgwWI/AAAAAAAAANw/1B0qNoaWZOQ/s320/tbw02.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my inspiration for this series - something that has intrigued me for years (after learning about it in my senior years in High School during Legal Studies classes)&lt;br /&gt;I have wanted to do a work based on this for quite some time but until recently it was no more than an idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the series so far...&lt;br /&gt;Currently I have completed 4 works for this series - all of which are untitled. There are common elements to all of these works to help tie them together and show a cohesive body of work.&lt;br /&gt;Common elements are:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;All artworks show a woman with her wrists bound in some way, some may show bound together or that they were bound and ropes have broken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;All the &#39;witches&#39; are in water of varying depths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Each Witch is accompanied by an animal or (familiar)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Each woman has flowers adorning her hair and where it is visible they have long dresses with a similar pattern on the bodice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u7VG6_3P-zE/UIIAMejloxI/AAAAAAAAANo/O_CrIKy-Q2Q/s1600/TBW03-13.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u7VG6_3P-zE/UIIAMejloxI/AAAAAAAAANo/O_CrIKy-Q2Q/s320/TBW03-13.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me an an artist this series poses quite a few challenges - firstly they are all completed in oils which although I have used oils in the past I had not really done anything too serious before now - I have started to really research into techniques etc that can be used with oils and I must say I am really excited about going further with this medium. It is a bit of a step away from Watercolours but i am loving every new challenge it throws my way.&lt;br /&gt;I am consciously making an effort to address subject matter that I feel are bit weaknesses for me - the most obvious ones being water and animals. Water I find being the most challenging for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-21Sv3jpTN8k/UIH_yQF8xAI/AAAAAAAAANg/HZfZ2LdKKR8/s1600/tbw04-14.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-21Sv3jpTN8k/UIH_yQF8xAI/AAAAAAAAANg/HZfZ2LdKKR8/s320/tbw04-14.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I write this blog post I have sitting on my studio table the beginnings of a new Trial By Water artwork and like I outlined in my last post here, perhaps this next one will be the painting that defines me as an artist. I have taken notes on the 4th painting that I will address in the 5th. ( I will be blogging about this process in another post very soon)&lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/feeds/668646087248996079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2144094487644117160&amp;postID=668646087248996079&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/668646087248996079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/668646087248996079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/2012/10/trial-by-water-new-oil-painting-series_20.html' title='Trial By Water - New Oil painting series '/><author><name>Lindsay Cheesewright</name><uri>https://plus.google.com/116470569369902681800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cICT2YtKDUI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAARc/Xk0t3aAXYeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dATQT4Qv8A0/UHilp5QJBzI/AAAAAAAAAMw/Im4LWjb5psg/s72-c/trialbywater.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144094487644117160.post-6258983193880347818</id><published>2012-10-19T12:37:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-10-19T12:37:30.494+11:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="advice for artists"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="art"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artists"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learning"/><title type='text'>Push Forward Friday - Embrace the flaws in your art</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dt_r7qwSlvc/UICt6apeIjI/AAAAAAAAANE/hLBAUaG6rvY/s1600/P9120195.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dt_r7qwSlvc/UICt6apeIjI/AAAAAAAAANE/hLBAUaG6rvY/s320/P9120195.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As artists, no one can criticise our art as much or as harshly as we do ourselves. We see the flaws in each work more than we see the elements that shine. It&#39;s just a normal part of being an artist and it is possibly our best feature ( I will explain a little in a moment).&lt;br /&gt;I am sure many artists (myself included) has had a moment or moments where you look at a finished piece and feel the sudden urge to take to it with a large brush loaded with gesso - to try and erase such a huge mess from your life. You second guess yourself after each artwork and wonder if that piece is going to be the painting that defines you as an artist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where I explain that being overly critical of our work is our best attribute. Learning is a life-long process, we never stop learning - at least we never should. Instead of looking at that huge mess you see sitting on your easel, mocking you while you admit defeat. Look back at it and say &quot;No! You will NOT be the piece that defines me as an artist - it&#39;s because of you that my next artwork will be the one that defines me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;Because with each mistake we see we can figure out a solution which we can then take with us onto the next piece.&lt;br /&gt;If we can&#39;t see the flaws in our work - that&#39;s great for the ego but in all honestly do we want something that makes us feel great or do we want something that will teach us and help us grow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for this post is to encourage every artist to embrace the flaws and mistakes - to make sure that you do truly see them and awknowledge each and every one of them.&lt;br /&gt;Alright - I know what you are thinking: &quot;ok i have accepted that I will make mistakes and have done so many times over...now what?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am going to set up an exercise for you to do before next Friday:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a good look at your last artwork and do the following -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make a list of everything that you see wrong in the piece&lt;br /&gt;Make a list of things you would do differently that correspond to the first.&lt;br /&gt;Identify 3 major weaknesses that you see in that painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok so now that you have done that, now you need to pick at least one of your weaknesses and actively try to make an effort to address it - check out tutorials online or art books at the library.&lt;br /&gt;It is very important to try and get more knowledge on what ever it is that you are having difficulty with. Otherwise you will find that it is still an obvious weakness in your next work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this has helped someone realise that without accepting our mistakes it is almost impossible to look at past works and compare them to recent works and discover just how far we have come.&lt;br /&gt;I would love to hear your thoughts on this, how about your weaknesses - is there something that you have difficulty doing or tend to avoid?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/feeds/6258983193880347818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2144094487644117160&amp;postID=6258983193880347818&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/6258983193880347818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/6258983193880347818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/2012/10/push-forward-friday-embrace-flaws-in.html' title='Push Forward Friday - Embrace the flaws in your art'/><author><name>Lindsay Cheesewright</name><uri>https://plus.google.com/116470569369902681800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cICT2YtKDUI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAARc/Xk0t3aAXYeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dt_r7qwSlvc/UICt6apeIjI/AAAAAAAAANE/hLBAUaG6rvY/s72-c/P9120195.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144094487644117160.post-5086916702883027997</id><published>2012-10-04T15:51:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2012-10-04T15:51:12.550+10:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="art for sale"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="art sale"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="auction"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="buy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ebay sales"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="facebook sale"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="original art sale"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sale"/><title type='text'>Art from the Vault</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dqcmN-6cz_c/UG0jnm7feWI/AAAAAAAAAMc/eLPaGu9_Glg/s1600/artfromthevault.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;170&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dqcmN-6cz_c/UG0jnm7feWI/AAAAAAAAAMc/eLPaGu9_Glg/s320/artfromthevault.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To celebrate my move from watercolours to oils I am having a HUGE sale and when I say HUGE i mean exactly that.

This is Alice, as you can see from the various items that are tangled in her hair ie: Rabbit, Pocket watch, tea cup etc it is based on Alice in Wonderland.&lt;br /&gt;Some details may be hard to make out as it is a simple line art.&lt;br /&gt;Once colour is added to her, it will be much easier to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure if I will create a &lt;a href=&quot;http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/sketch-to-painting-1-gothic-vampire.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sketch to Painting&lt;/a&gt; of this.&lt;br /&gt;If you wish to purchase this please contact me via my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/FaerieMajikk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:thedarquethings@gmail.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Email Me&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/feeds/357967991114233567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2144094487644117160&amp;postID=357967991114233567&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/357967991114233567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/357967991114233567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-sketch-for-tangled-series-alice.html' title='New Sketch for Tangled series - Alice!'/><author><name>Lindsay Cheesewright</name><uri>https://plus.google.com/116470569369902681800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cICT2YtKDUI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAARc/Xk0t3aAXYeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DrOav08o4ZI/T72Kv_ylHeI/AAAAAAAAAHs/3E-3R-USgiA/s72-c/alice.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144094487644117160.post-760051803310940420</id><published>2012-05-18T14:17:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2012-05-18T14:17:10.634+10:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="online marketplace"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="portfolio stes."/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="RFT"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="social media"/><title type='text'>Random Faery Thought - Art is Anarchy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ICOCm2wMfTI/T7W6vhyJADI/AAAAAAAAAHU/mpNw5_QzsV8/s1600/rft.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;165&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ICOCm2wMfTI/T7W6vhyJADI/AAAAAAAAAHU/mpNw5_QzsV8/s320/rft.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;ART IS ANARCHY&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;After looking at my art &lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;+ business i have come to one conclusion.

Updating all of this to me seems to be a full time job in itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;So I have decided to take a step back to really look at my art and where it is, I have come to the conclusion that I need to really downgrade my presence.

I really need to close some of these accounts. I have used Wanelo a couple of times and Twitter is not me. I am in two minds over Pinterest but my&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/FaerieMajikk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt; is a keeper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;Now how about Marketplaces? Well at the moment the only store I seem to be getting traffic to is my Etsy store so I will keep on with that. I will however close my storenvy store and maybe my Meylah store also. Ebay on the other hand is still good and may keep it for getting rid of my old art that is cluttering up my storage space. I love Spoonflower.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;I think my online portfolios are ok as they are, whether i upload to them frequently or not I do not know.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;st&quot;&gt;I think that because of these other sites I have been unable to focus my attention on what&#39;s important, my website.

This is being done on canvas using coloured pencil and Icopropyl Alcohol to blend it. I have made sure that I work with fairly light, translucent colour, this will be built up over many layers, with each layer that is added the colour will intensify and deepen to eventually portray the dark gothic atmosphere. I have started with a purple hue to the shadows of her skin, this is going to be in moonlight so even though moonlight in cool I do still want to add a little bit of warmth to the skin tone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE 9th May:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvqmCqs7xbw/T6nocB7GICI/AAAAAAAAAG8/x0siFKsimLc/s1600/maiden03.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;230&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvqmCqs7xbw/T6nocB7GICI/AAAAAAAAAG8/x0siFKsimLc/s320/maiden03.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have added a fair bit of colour to this, was able to do it this morning while Ollie was watching his kids programs and Quinn did sit on my lap for a bit until she started pulling at my paint brush, then I thought it was time for her to go back into her play pen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is possibly easy to see what I have done by comparing the last update with this one, i want to have her skin tone cool as she is in moonlight/night and being a vampire there isn&#39;t going to be a whole lot of warmth to her skin. This is too cool and needs to be warmed up more.&lt;br /&gt;I will be doing that and adding more darker shading to her hair as well as her gloves and bottom of her top.&lt;br /&gt;I will need to refine the top part of her top, I want it to look as though she is wearing a black sheer top with roses embroidered on it.&lt;br /&gt;The background and foreground needs a lot of work too, so i will be working on those to bring them up to the same stage as the rest of the painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-14-KHSYRH5M/T7uDpdj8U1I/AAAAAAAAAHg/BxigJX1to8U/s1600/maiden04.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;230&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-14-KHSYRH5M/T7uDpdj8U1I/AAAAAAAAAHg/BxigJX1to8U/s320/maiden04.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ok so here we are with the next installment - Busy with family and life in general so it took a little extra time to get to this stage. I have spent more time adding shadows all round. Her lips are way too bright so I will deepen the shadows a bit or perhaps add contrasting colour to neautralise the red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that is it for now, you can find this listing on Etsy: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/98579048/sketch-to-completed-painting-updated-4th&quot;

If you frequent my Etsy Store &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop/FaerieMajikk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FaerieMajikk&lt;/a&gt; then you may have seen my latest etsy listing. For those who have not, here it is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/98579048/sketch-to-completed-painting-watch-the&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;459&quot; src=&quot;http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.332527364.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This is a brand new way of listing art, well for me any way and this is the reason for creating this blog post. As you can see this is a sketch, a work in progress, an unfinished piece...why have i listed it on Etsy?&lt;br /&gt;Well this is the whole reason, the fact that it is unfinished and really only the beginning. a way for me to grab the interest of others, to allow them to pop this listing in their favorites and to come back to it every so often to see how it is progressing.&lt;br /&gt;Of course it is an active Etsy listing so those can actually purchase this when ever they choose, it will naturally be completed before it gets sent to them, so they will receive a beautifully finished artwork in all it&#39;s glory by the end.&lt;br /&gt;Added bonus is ... when this was first listed it was listed at $75.00 and that is half the usual price but as i progress and it has more done to it the price will go up until it is at the full asking price.&lt;br /&gt;So obviously an extra incentive to purchasing this early is the awesome discounted price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok so the idea for this post was not so much to show you my new etsy listing, more to show you what I am doing to make it stand out.&lt;br /&gt;As i progress through this I will take some notes and observations to see the responses that i do get.perhaps by the end I will have found whether this is right for my etsy listings.&lt;br /&gt;I will post back here when i have some information. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/feeds/3926030152764115858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2144094487644117160&amp;postID=3926030152764115858&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/3926030152764115858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2144094487644117160/posts/default/3926030152764115858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faeriemajikksfantasyart.blogspot.com/2012/04/experimental-way-to-engage-interest-for.html' title='Experimental way to engage interest for Art'/><author><name>Lindsay Cheesewright</name><uri>https://plus.google.com/116470569369902681800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cICT2YtKDUI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAARc/Xk0t3aAXYeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144094487644117160.post-2614969930518535306</id><published>2012-04-02T00:06:00.001+10:00</published><updated>2012-04-02T00:06:08.342+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Original ACEO painting/illustration - Jester/Clown watercolour art - $15.00</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&#39;http://www.etsy.com/shop/FaerieMajikk&#39; title=&#39;My Etsy SHop&#39;&gt;&lt;img src=&#39;http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_170x135.323202935.jpg&#39; style=&#39;margin: 0px 20px 20px 20px; float: left; &#39; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is an original ACEO watercolour painting of a brightly coloured Jester.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is currently untitled - the working title is Jester 4 - seeing as it is the 4th Jester aceo i have created.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is 2.5 x 3.5&quot;the size of a typical trading card.
