Lichii, Metal Rock!

Lichii, Metal Rock!, 22 October 2020
Hey! Thanks for looking at my art, I originally got inspired for this piece while I was listening to a few songs. Recently, I've gotten much more into the band Gorillaz and their music, and so while listening to one of their songs, I came up with this piece!

Angela Morrissey, Emu VIII

Angela Morrissey, Emu VIII, 18 October 2020
This is an artwork of a rather sinister and angry looking emu. I love painting emus because of the looks on their faces. I painted the background using colourful brushstrokes for something different. Both the background and the painterly style of the emu are great examples of Expressionism. My style!

Kathryn Harrison, Learning perspective in Covid Times

Kathryn Harrison, Learning perspective in Covid Times, 24 October 2020
This week, I have been looking at improving my art by learning perspective of faces and movement.

 

Andre Sardone, Swirly Pod

Andre Sardone, Swirly Pod, 25 October 2020
The stem is made of many parts I machined on my lathe. When there is the chance of having a moving part I find it very hard to resist the many more hours of work it takes to allow the movement. However, these exercises are all learning experiences which add to my knowledge base.

Jane Coburn, Don't Argue

Jane Coburn, Don't Argue, 24 October 2020
This began as a rough drawing on copy paper, just before the Grand Final started. During play, I added pen. By then, I knew it would become more than a quick sketch, as Richmond were going to win! So this week, I'll re-do the drawing onto better paper.

Jane Ineson, Say Less, See More (graphite), 24 October 2020

Arosha Kaluarachchi, My Son (Aaron), 25 October 2020
This is in fact my first attempt to draw. I thought I'd give it a shot using the bit of extra time created by the lockdown. Most importantly Aaron loved the drawing, that made me happy.

 

Paul Casey, Coronavirus Dream

Paul Casey, Coronavirus Dream (acrylic on paper), 25 October 2020
