On a whim I decided to give acrylics a go. Since I have no idea if I will like it I just got this small beginning pack and these small little canvases. Just to give it a go. This is for a few layers in and I had already cleaned up one time- because it… Continue reading Artwork: Acrylics
The pop-up sale is an interesting experience. Since it is my first time, I had no idea what I was doing. Prior to it I was brainstorming all the things I needed to do. Set up a way to receive payments, as an option. Get prints because I figured at a fair people likely wouldn't… Continue reading First day of Rodeo Fair pop-up sale
There is a rodeo fair coming to town and the Leduc art club is doing a pop up sale there. I put myself in for a table... because I am nuts. Well, actually I thought it would be a good place to test the waters. We have an Art Walk here too but it is… Continue reading Artwork for rodeo pop up sale
So I have been gathering drawings I want to make prints for the local fair pop-up sale- which has been very hard to choose from. I have no idea what sort of thing will sell, if anything. Anyway, I had this idea that maybe I should make some generic greeting cards to add to the… Continue reading Pandemic ‘miss you’ card?
I have been focusing a great deal on my art right now. Mostly because I can't actually focus on much of anything. And I can just zone in on drawing.

Update on the local mental health art exhibit we have locally here. I have a piece of art in it. The style isn't the style I am now working in but it is still a nice piece I think. I have a hard time saying since I am so new to all this and my… Continue reading Mental Health Art exhibit

I have been playing around with some of my sketches to make some digital art to sell for wall art.

So I made an Instagram account just for my artwork. Technically, since this page is for writing and art it could be for both but I never could fathom how to Instagram promote my books. If I can figure that out- I will add it in. As it is, it is: @WaywardWyrdArt I have thought… Continue reading Added an Instagram account for my artwork
I just wanted to relax today and thought I would do some figure art practice. I have this book on expressive figure art.

Expressive Figure Drawing by Bill Buchman.… Continue reading Sketching to just chill
I was doing this piece of a woman in pastel. And well, I have like 8 pastel colours at the moment. So if you want different colours that takes a whole lot of blending and blending. Also I wasn't sure in the beginning where I wanted to take it. As I had more than one… Continue reading Artwork: Woman in pastel
I decided to put some of my art up on the walls. They will be for sale now that I have my fixant and they are ready to be scanned.

I am digging working with ink as a medium lately. But I also like experimenting with charcoal... I just have never been really taught how to do much with it. I should take some tutorials on YouTube or something. But I mean, I haven't actually been taught anything about anything. So nothing new there. Sort… Continue reading Artwork: Ink and Charcoal
I have been drawing with ink a lot lately. Sometimes in black & white but recently playing around with colour as well. Attempting new things mostly. I did this one for Halloween.

I have been extremely drained lately from my vertigo. That should hopefully change in the near future since I am doing vestibular therapy. But it does mean a real slow pace on pretty much everything lately. I did do a short sketch in ink recently. I have wanted to practice some ink work and plan… Continue reading Artwork: Face sketch in ink
