follow on instagram @erikaleesears Since February is right around the corner, my challenge for this month is to make art everyday the month of February.! yay! Every day, on Instagram I going to do some sort of drawing or sketch.. the pretty and the ugly. I am looking forward to seeing what happens because I really want to push myself and get out of my comfort art zone and share more of my doodles. Doing a monthly challenge is a great way to get more miles on my sketchbook and it gives me the chance to maybe even do some experiments, use different techniques, try new mediums and explore different subject matter. Making art everyday is a great way to hone some new skills and dust off some of those old skills. I would love for you to follow the journey! and if you want to make art too! I would love to see it. The hashtag for the event is #atinyrocket ....
Wow! I know this paintings are surprisingly simple but the rich use of color and restraint of depth is pretty stunning. These paintings make me want to just run away and go on vacation and then sit on a beach with a large fruffy cocktail with an umbrella. Care to join? Robert Roth is a Ohio based painter that has a lot of fancy credentials and his work is in the private collections of AMEX, The New Yorker, and Columbia University....
8X10 Oil on Wood Panel Happy Friday! This is my first painting of the new year and it feels good to finally finish it. October- December, I am usually so busy with painting from the holidays that I usually take a little bit of studio break after to let the creative energy flow. This record shop has been in Portland for a long time and some of the best neon lights. It was pretty fun to paint but the posters and records on the walls and windows were a total challenge. This weekend is going to be a semi boring one- Tim and I both working on our work but I made him promise me that we would do some sort of family activity that involves hot chocolate and donuts. It seems like once the holidays wear off- all I want to is be in my studio and make stuff. What are you up to this weekend? ...
Photographer Mike Hollingshead is a storm chaser.. pretty exciting don't you think? I think the words "storm chaser" sounds exhilarating doesn't it? I think it's the danger factor. I don't know if I could actually jump into my car and just go straight into the danger zone but I do love these photos. He clocks over 20,000 miles a year and travels all over America's heart lands. The skies are pretty incredible- I never knew clouds could do that. His work has been featured in movies and tv- and my personal favorite was on the finale for Dexter .

Happy Tuesday! I stumbled across these gorgeous photos by Kevin Cooley . He is a fine arts photographer that lives and works in New York City and this series called "Controlled Burns." I think the smoke looks so velvety and beautiful- almost like a controlled chaos. I think I could stare at these all day because it's almost like you can see different things almost like watching big fluffy clouds on a summers day. I just adore the grouping of them all together with their big plumes of smoke. For More Dazzling Art Inspiration- Follow me on Pinterest ...
Every artist has their own special drawing utensils or weaponry :). Going into the art supply store it's pretty overwhelming with all of the choices of what you can draw with- because you can draw with practically anything. Here are a few tips on how to discover the best drawing pencils for you. Pencils are made of graphite and clay. The numbers written on the side of the pencil is a European scale for H being the hardest and B is the softest and blackest. The harder the pencil is the more clay the pencil has in it which it why it draws more gray. There are about 20 degrees on the scale and if you have a 9H pencil the hardest pencil and the most gray and if you use a 9B it is the softest with the most amount of black. If you use a #2 yellow pencil the European code is HB and the American scale is the #2. Typically if you want to start drawing the best range is usually to stay in is the B's and the hardest pencil would be a 4H because going with a harder pencil can ...
Oleg Oprisco is a Kiev, Ukraine based surrealist photographer. I love how he uses such a soft and muted pallet with a posed portrait while playing with perspective. It's pretty amazing how he takes you into some sort of dreamy world. Oleg starting working in a photo lab as a teenager and then started shooting weddings, and gradually he found himself in commercial photography. He has been working on this current series since 2009.
