    Art for you!

    Friday, November 16, 2012, 5:12 PM [Shameless Commerce]

    I'm selling originals! Lucky for most of us, they're often small. Here's how to get one:

    Take a look at the biggest gallery over at deviantArt: metasilk.deviantart.com/gallery/ , tell me you like something, and make an offer. Direct email is best (kir@metasilk.com). If I've already listed it somewhere, we may have to go through them (say, if there's already a bid on it). Otherwise, let's talk (or email).

    OR
    Find a listing in my Etsy shop and buy it there. Here's the shop link: www.etsy.com/shop/StudioMetasilk

    OR
    Bid on an eBay listing. Here's my eBay list: www.ebay.com/sch/elksdotter/m.html?_nkw=... (I know, ugly URL. Oh well, it works! )

    Commissions are possible too (of course). I might even be able to do something small before Christmas. Let's talk!

    Ink sketch of an Island (Micron pens on 60lb Caslon sketch paper).

    Need more sky info...? There *could* be clouds of some sort... air currents hard to do in B&W like this? Ditto mist.... actually, I could lightly dot the background for mist... ( would be so proud of me if I did, no doubt!)

    May print lightly on watercolor and tint that, which would clarify the sky. And be kind of nifty. This paper is probably too lightweight for tints unless I did colored pencil.

    Hmm...

    As always, your thoughts most very welcome!

    Later: I did a version with dotted mist. Click on it to see it larger.

    Ink sketch of an Island (Micron pens on 60lb Caslon sketch paper).

    [Edited dev & desc] Thinking it needed more sky info I bounced an idea off @ellenmillion and in consequence tried some dotted air mist...

    May print lightly on watercolor and tint that, which would also clarify the sky. And be kind of nifty. This paper is probably too lightweight for tints unless I did colored pencil.

    Hmm...

    As always, your thoughts most very welcome!

    I sketched out a bunch of ACEO ideas oh, far too long ago. Been working them out of the sketchbook onto cards. This one I threw onto gear too. Probably printing way too big, huh? I am so going to have to come up with a better image to wrap around the teapot, though; it might be my new favorite cafepress item.

    By the way, there's a sale on for a day or so.

    Another colored pencil on mat board, 6cm x 6cm.

    Part of the once-hypothetical "Critters Lugging Stuff Around" series.

    Possibly not quite done, now I see it larger onscreen after the scan. Something about the bottom of the suitcase and the contrast by the suitcase handle.

    Hmm. Well, if I update this, I'll note so here. If I remember!

    On stuff in my deviantArt prints so far. Maybe more later.

    No you got a point, and I also think the text is unclear! Hugs from Marianne

    I had them printed at: www.artcardswanted.com They are not very fast at delivering the cards, but the cards are very nice and worth waiting for!

    Your welcome :) I haven't tried Daniel Smith watercolours as can't buy them in UK but have promised myself some when i have some more paintings done as the paints look gorgeous!!Have not tried American Journey either,mostly i have just used Winsor & Newton. I have only used Winsor & Newton gouache in the past so i do not know how other brands compare. Let me know how you get on with finding a suitable gold irridecent paint. Good Luck with your little dragons,they look cute :)

    Hello Kir, thank you for being part of the EF community - I have really enjoyed looking at your art and just loved your Christmas Mouse, I agree that he was probably helping though we tend to have voles and shrews to assist us here! Smiles,

    I have thought of sketching people in B&N but I'm not good at getting something down quickly... I am one who is very detailed. Check out my website and you will see what I mean: www.aheartofmersea.com Julia
