PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 6/3

Hi Everyone!

I know I am posting this on Thursday but I won't have time later tonight.
While going through a box of old art I found some "Car Art" that I did back in 2013,
Car Art is me sketching while on a road trip. It is NOT always pretty with the horrible roads we have here but it is something to do on a long trip. Anyway, just for fun I thought I would try to paint one of the sketches. I found that painting it was not as easy as sketching it. A bit more practice..... I also finished the leather sculpt. I really like these self canvases. I got a few on clearance, they are really expensive.  
A big thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Fantastic work again Nicole, it must be hard to draw in the car! I did my PPF post early, too! Happy PPF and a great weekend, hugs, Valerie

I admire you for drawing in the car - the roads here are pretty bumpy too and I certainly wouldn't be able to draw anything and have it resemble what it's meant to be! I don't mean to hijack your post but you asked about where you could see me at work and I can't reply to your email as it's a no reply comment thingie - if you use Facebook my page NicseARTh has a couple of timelapse videos I did a while back or they're on YouTube as well. Have a great weekend.

Oh my... I can't imagine drawing in the car. Well yes I can actually but I know for sure that it wouldn't be pretty!
Great artwork as always. Happy PPF to you

I'm still impressed with your car art. I've done doodling in the car, but have never attempted shadowing like you do. I really like the surreal feel of your leather relief sculpture composition. Your use of texture is marvelous as usual too. Happy PPF!

Looks like an alien. I love it! Car art is an interesting term. I want to try it. :) Erika

I can't imagine drawing anywhere, especially a car!! The pencil drawing reminds me of the pictures of aliens from the 70s. Wonding what you were thinking when you were sketching.

You do marvelously well at drawing in the car, Nicole! I like the painted rendition and your wonderful sculpture.

Looks fabulous, the drawing and the painting! I can never draw in the car. I think ours must be very bumpy.

Your work is just stunning, the sketch so expressive and that leather sculpp is so innovative!

Cindy Dauer said...

Wonderful work with the lines and shading on this face! I wish I could do car art but I tend to get car sick if I try to read or draw, alas!

Claudia W | ImagesByCW said...

What an interesting portrait... it really grows on me.

Carol said...

I would never be able to draw in the car...just like I can't read or even crochet in the car anymore because of motion sickness. Makes for very long trips.

Carol said...

DIdn't mean to hit publish yet DA!!! Your face is very surreal an the mask is fantastic too ♥

Irene Rafael said...

Both gorgeous. I admire you for sketching while on a road trip. I have tried but get car sick so I stick to looking at the scenery. xo

Car art! I love it. You did a great job, considering the "moving" car! That leather sculpt is amazing. Have a wonderful week Nicole! xx

Lisabella Russo said...

Wow, I can't do anything while in the car, that's very impressive! I hadn't heard of that kind of canvas before, it looks great for your art with the 3d quality.

Oh, I couldn't draw in a car - I'd get sick. You did great job.
Have a creative week ahead!
