Maya


I haven't posted for a while because I haven't felt inspired enough to paint in recent weeks. One way to get the creative juices flowing is to choose a subject matter you are passionate about. I chose Maya, the dog that my fiancée and I have owned for over two years. She is a great dog and companion.

I started out trying to do an accurate value sketch, and it made the process easier. Using Picasa or any other simple photo software can convert a picture to black and white easily. This strips away the distraction of colour so that you can see just the values.

Although... I ended up thinking that the sketch captured the values more accurately. It was harder to be as faithful to the values using the paints.

  1. Did you know there's a 12 word sentence you can say to your crush... that will trigger intense feelings of love and impulsive attractiveness to you buried inside his heart?

    Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, look after and look after you with all his heart...

    12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Love Response

    This impulse is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will drive him to try better than before to take care of you.

    As a matter of fact, fueling this dominant impulse is absolutely binding to having the best possible relationship with your man that the second you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

    ...You will soon find him open his heart and soul for you in such a way he haven't expressed before and he'll identify you as the only woman in the world who has ever truly interested him.
