Peter

I finished Peter!  I really like how he turned out.  On my last post I did a painting of Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and their mother.  On that one I outlined everything with a dark brown colored pencil which worked pretty well but, on this one, I outlined it with paint and I like it a lot better.  I realize that it's not exactly the same as the original but I like it.

Here is a Link if you're interested in learning more about Beatrix Potter.

Beatrix Potter

For an art class sort of thing that I'm taking I chose nine artists that I would like to learn about and then copy some of their work.  The first one I chose was Beatrix Potter.  I love her art!

This is the painting I chose.  I really enjoyed painting it. This is the original.  Sorry for the lack of picture quality.  I had been painting outside so it was on a clip board.  That's what the shadow is at the top.  I also was testing pens and pencils around the outside so that's what all the little marks are around the edge.

 For some reason this picture turned sideways when I uploaded it to my blog and I can't figure out why or how to fix it.  But anyways, this is the sketch.

This is after I painted it.  I forgot to take a picture before I outlined the mamma rabbit but you get the idea.

 This is the finished product.  I think it turned out really cute.  You may be wondering where Peter Rabbit went in my picture.  Well I painted this on a  4 x 4 1/2 inch piece of paper and he wouldn't fit.  I'm planning on doing him on a separate paper in the near future.

My name is Jenny and this is my blog. Just pretend that the first part of it doesn't exist.  It was originally used for a Fitness for Life class, so it's pretty boring and should therefore be avoided.  This blog, from now on, is just for random stuff that I feel like posting.  That may include art projects, craftiness, maybe photography, random things about my life, and family, etc.
Watch out for my next post about a watercolor painting I copied from Beatrix Potter's book, "Peter Rabbit".
