EPISODE 63 LEARN FROM MISTAKES

I'm back on the proverbial horse and the drawing horse as well. Mistakes, We all make them. Want to learn from mistakes, see how I do it in this short video.

That time planting a bunch of herbs at Atelier Artitsa

We have been excitedly anticipating the ability to plant a spring crop with our beautiful northern light and new kitchen counter the herbs are the thing to improve snacks and mealtimes!

MAKING THE TABLETOP

We just cant do anything normal down here. It was supposed to just be a regular wooden countertop but things gout out of hand, sand, stain, draw, leaf, paint, epoxy, dry, wait, then install. food and drink prep just got taken to a whole other level at Atelierartista!

See the steps we took to make it epic meal time all the time in the studio!

IN THE BEGINNING

This is an animation I did as an interpretation of origin/creation stories. It was an artist in residence project offered by CAOS, (Calgary Animated Objets Society) festival. It was my attempt to push myself into experimentation with stop motion, plasticine, ink in water in a fish tank, sparklers, green screen and compiling the elements together with After Effects. I learned a lot and nearly burnt myself and my computer out in the process. The opportunity also afforded me the chance to purchase gear and software to make the piece and to basically live in a plus 15 window for a time. Kind of like an animal on display.

We haven't missed a Wednesday evening since we opened, and we don't plan on it. Practice makes perfect after all. If you'd like to join us, c'mon down on Wednesday, we have Sarabella modelling for us again. Here's my sketches from the last session we did with her.

This year our first Wednesday evening figure drawing was with Neema. Here's what I drew with new charcoal on bamboo paper.

We also had a figure drawing and time management course for Studio C/Prospect, heres a video peek below.
