Be Mused Art

I am not sure about you, but when I see a piece of art that I like, one of the thoughts that goes through my mind is “Where did the artist get that idea?”. When I look at my own art a few weeks after it is finished, I am not sure where the [...]

Well here we have my latest drawing from my sketchbook. I went ahead and inked it in the sketchbook to make it easier to use my light box to transfer it to watercolor paper. Some cropping will happen, since it is going to be a 5×5″ watercolor painting.

This is the start of a toile inspired drawing. I am having some trouble coming up with what I will put inside the wreath of lotus. Hopefully I will have something in the next couple of days. I am thinking something a bit crazy for Toile would be fun. Maybe a [...]
