That doesn't mean I've been doing nothing - I've been working on loads of fun projects. But I failed to keep this blog updated, next to my site, my Facebook-page and other stuff.<br />
<br />
So I decided to stop blogging here. BUT I will be blogging via my site. I've integrated my (static) site with a blog. You can find my site here: <a href="http://www.atelierbrigitte.nl/" target="_blank">AtelierBrigitte</a> or, if you want to go directly to the blog section, follow this link: <a href="http://www.atelierbrigitte.nl/blog/" target="_blank">Blog by AtelierBrigitte</a><br />
<br />
I hope to see you all there soon!AtelierBrigittehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945341147689903730noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166298736989340652.post-39252102458730185552014-10-15T11:00:00.001+02:002014-10-15T11:00:50.551+02:00Onions - part III'm slowly working on this painting, but I love doing it.

It is going to be an oil painting (30 x 40 cm). Only the first onion has (partly) its first layer (don't mind all the charcoal residues...). A lot more work to be done!<br />
<br />
I am very enthousiastic about these classes and I think I will learn a lot!

I just had to draw her. Chose to do it in graphite, it was a long time ago I did a portrait in graphite. Here are the first steps of the drawing.<br />

I started this a few months ago, during art class. When I stopped taking classes I forgot about this painting. But now I finished it - I think I like working with oil :)<br />

Her owners wanted this portrait of her because she was very ill at the time. While I was working on the painting I got the message that her condition was so bad, that they've decided to let her go... I hope this painting will give them comfort.<br />

After applying the graphite, you can add water to create a more watercolor effect and it deepens the black tones of the graphite. I tried this out on a quick sketch of Max - the loveliest dog I've ever met.<br />

Been creating lots of ATCs and traded them with wonderful cards from over the world. And I tried to keep up my sketching, although I haven't been to the zoo: I used pictures I took.</div>
<div>
Art classes have started and there I am working on an oil paint. I will show the progress on the right side of my blog, in the column 'On my desk'. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here some ATCs and sketches I did lately (sorry for the large amount).</div>

I liked working with oil so much that I treated myself with a wider palette of colors. And I painted this portrait of Figo.<br />
Figo is a resident of 'Kattentehuis Vergeet-Me-Nietje' (Catshelter Forget-Me-Not) - a shelter for cats that cannot be (re)placed for what ever reason. I am gonna donate this painting for an online auction for another catshelter - a shelter for kittens. All revenues will be for this catshelter. The online auction will start on World Animal Day (4th October).<br />

But what to sketch when everything outside the car is moving fast... So sketches of the hands of my husband - driving the car. Lovely model :)<br />

I know I should consider them as weed and remove them, but I like them so much. I had to paint them.<br />Again an ATC, but this time I tried to add as much detail in it as possible. I even used a magnifying glass.<br />
<br />
It is not traded yet...<br />

It is done in waterbased oil, and it's the first animal I've done with this medium - and I liked working with it!<br />
<br />
I used one of the wonderful nature pictures, <a href="http://helmanatuurfotos.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank">made by Helma</a>. Thank you for letting me use the picture of the robin, Helma!<br />
