I'll be 30 weeks along tomorrow in my second pregnancy. There's so many things to do (illustration-wise), before baby comes. I have all my class-prep work ready to go for the illustration techniques section I'm teaching in October (on acrylics) for MacEwan college, but there's quite a bit of artwork to finish... and... ahem... most of that should happen before baby arrives. Feeling the crunch of deadlines, but I'm also feeling this incredible nesting urge. Instead of painting during the doodlebugs naps, I've been cleaning closets. Go figure!
Today, instead of working on the princess licensing image I should be working on, I put some paint on one of my plywood sketches. I've been wishing to find a way to keep my pencil lines under visible and dark under paint and this technique seems promising. (Liquitex glazes and acrylic wash with pencil).
Oh, and ps: Here's the princess image thus far. Still have so much farther to go and I'm painting like a turtle.
I'm impressed. You're getting so much done! Congrats. You are one inspiring mama. And things will hit the fan once the baby is born (but will settle down soon after) :) Enjoy the peace now!
ReplyDeleteGaby! Thanks for the comment. I don't really feel like I'm getting that much done, so having someone that I don't know say that means quite a bit. I'm impossibly stressed about having two babies in the house and dreading the decline of my working hours (weird, right?... but sooo "north american" of me).
