Art swap

By jullia in Articles, Portraits

Materials: graphite pencils on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, 5 x 7 inch.

I am taking part to an art swap organised by David Pringle. (: Here you can see more details about this.
It’s the first big art swap that I am taking part of. The first one was on pencilportraits.ning.com but it was a little one made between members. This time seams like there are involved many many artists from all over the world :D I am so excited to see what piece of art I will receive.

Here is the list with all the artist involved in the current art swap, but I heard that it will be another one in 6 months. So stay tuned!

My art work is the one above, with the lovers. It’s not so big because I have to deliver it far far away :D Now is packed and in a few minutes I go to the post office. I really hope that the receiver will like it.

I made this draw last year, but forgot to submit it. It was just for fun.

Ballerina

Materials: oils on A4 Fabriano oil paper, 300g.
Reference: Ballerina

This is the first time I try oils and the second work I made using colors (first I used pastels). It was fun to do and to discover the feel of using something else but graphite. There is a lot to learn about oils, but I’ll definitely try it again.
