Shark Week!

Sometimes you have an idea and it's so good you just have to paint it. This is one of those times.

Watercolor and Sharpie.

101 Dalmatians Kids Set

I've been working on the set for the Thomaston Upson Arts Council's Annual Summer Theatre Production. This year's play is 101 Dalmatians Kids. I really enjoy the kids production because I can be big, bright, and bubbly with my work. Yesterday I finished up the scene for Cruella DeVil's Fur Vault, a room where she keeps the puppies and her furs. You can click on the photos to enlarge them. 

The idea was to have a lot of puppies in this scene. Some kids in puppy costumes will be in front of this backdrop so I had to make sure the painted puppies were big enough to be noticed. And I couldn't make them too cute and happy since they are trapped. 

I'll post picture from another scene once I get all the props finished for it. 

Painting Progress: Bearded Lady

I love when an idea strikes you and it just works! Here's my most recent watercolor painting from start to finish:

A rough sketch.

Laying down the lines and the dark blacks.

And then everything else. 

Stamped and done!

She's now listed in my Etsy shop.

On My Summer Vacation

Well, this summer has definitely been busy! I haven't even thought about updating my blog. So in an effort to get back into blogging, here's a quick photo update on what I've been up to.

Drawing tattoo flash for TattooArcade.com. Just sort by artist and look for "Fawne DeRosia".

Practicing my grey shading abilities by copying a Sylvia Ji painting. 

And making props for 101 Dalmatians Kids. 

Where Does the Time Go?

It happens every summer: I get so caught up in summertime things that I forget about the good ol' blog!

Lately, I've been trying to paint little 5x7 paintings of tattoo flash. Here are the first five:

I'll post more late this week!
