Mona Johannesson Painting

Hello everyone! How are you all? So I realized today that this had been sitting on my desk and I thought "Hey, I need to share this with everyone!" So here it is. :) It is a painting of Mona Johannesson that I think is from a backstage runway picture. Well, I hope you like it and hope you are all having a great night! Also, I just saw the Avengers again with my family. That movie is great! So funny and entertaining! Have you seen it?

Marchesa Fall 2012

Hey Friends!
Well i'm so so so so happy to finally be posting this painting!
It took about 2-3 weeks to do.
Which is way longer than i thought it would take.
I used Pencil, Pen, Color Pencil, Ink, Water Color, and Oil Paint.
The clothes in the painting are from Marchesa's beautiful Fall 2012 collection.

So the concept for the painting...
As you all know, my brother and I have been working on writing a story book.
Since the book isn't done, i can't really share much from it...
I thought i could start doing paintings from the stories and start introducing you to the characters.
This painting is of a character named Josette Halirk. She is a Princess.
She technically isn't in the book we are writing right now, cause she is just a little kid when our first book takes place.
I used model Mona Johannesson as a face reference. For some reason, i feel like Mona's look really fits perfectly how i picture Josette. I really hope you like the painting.

Very Rough Draft for Tomorrow

Hello Friends, How was your weekend? Mine was wonderful. We basically hung out all weekend watching the first Season of the TV show, Fringe. I forgot how good that season was. Well, the sketch today is a super duper rough draft sketch i did for an oil painting i want to start tomorrow. The sketch is inspired by Andreas Öhlund's photo of Mona Johannesson and Bo Deveilus for Stockholm S/S/A/W. I was thinking of possibly Live Ustreaming me painting tomorrow. I'm not sure if it would be too boring for yawl. hah. Let me know if it is something you would like, cause I will need to pick up my studio for it. It's a complete mess right now! Well, I hope you're having a great night. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
