September Challenge Day 30
Ta da! All done! Today is the last day of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta and I am sure most of us are ready for a short break. One of the goals of challenges like this is to encourage artists to try new things and to instil the useful habit of working daily at our craft. As many of us know, life sometimes takes over and, if our art gets put on the shelf for a while, it is sometimes difficult to get back in the swing of things.
Today's card is just a fun little picture of an ostrich chick.
A number of years ago, I did a series of cards for a friend who was raising ostriches. They gave tours and had a little gift shop. I visited and took lots of photos for reference and then spent a few months drawing these interesting creatures. I pulled out my old reference drawings and picked this piece to end the challenge.

Sweet end to your month Val :) Love all the different textures you used and I love the look on his face! Congratulations on facing your personal sketching challenge I think you rocked it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. Now for a month of yard work and getting things ready for winter!
DeleteNice work! I love ostriches. I bet your cards were well received!
ReplyDeleteHi Kaethe. I believe the cards did sell pretty well and they were fun to do as well.
DeleteHow cute is this. Some really interesting animals. I honk I am ahead of schedule for,garden shut down. Enjoy your free time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nelvia. They are interesting but, unfortunately, the ostrich farm was a bust so there will be no new photo references for me. My garden is still blooming nicely so it will wait - the big push is pruning back the growth along the driveway which is a yearly chore. Enjoy your color studies!
