"Pure Innocence", silk painting.

"Pure Innocence", 12 x 9", 

Silk, dyes.

I wanted to try it for a while, but never did...

Last month  I got bitten by creativity and finally purchased

modest set of American-made silk dyes and some fabric

to test it on... Plus of course some chemicals...

This is my #1 try out on silk painting. 

Model for the "Innocence" was our Fox Terrier "Sasha",

who being a Fox Terrier is anything, but "innocent".

I enjoyed my painting session, no pressure of any sort,

just do it and let see what happens... 

I still need to "fix" those dyes, so piece will be washable.

Didn't get a chance to do that yet.

Hopefully that will work out well....

Mean while I'm thinking of starting next piece.

"Who is that pretty Girl?.." Pastel.

"Who is that pretty Girl?.."

11 x 14", Pastel on Pastelmat.

My latest schnauzer-project. Pastel pencil drawing on French paper.

This painting/drawing was very time consuming and will be not for sale.

Stages of this work in progress You can see below... Enjoy!

 I started this work from careful drawing with using of ingenious grid method

 introduced to me by my friend, very talented watercolor artists Larry Lombardo.

This is none-traditional grid what somewhat speeding things up with initial drawing.

I'm starting my drawing of general outlines with graphite pencil

and then finishing it with pastel pencil. All grid lines have to go.

When it comes to all those small pretty flowers, there is no way 

and need to copy those with using of grid. I just had those drawn free-hand.

After m,y drawing was finished in pastel pencil,

I did alcohol wash over it, to make things more soft.

It also embeds pigment to the paper.

 Next step - pastel pencils. I work in my very favorite brand Caran D'Ache.

Those are really amazing pencils, what I truly love and enjoy.

When I finished working with pencils, I did some dry-brush blending

 where needed and finished this work with few touches of soft pastels.

Voila!

Here they are - my beautiful schnauzer girls - Gigi (on the left) 

and Lusha (on the right).

This is my first work in new for 2014/2015 schnauzer series.

More will be coming. Stay tuned!

Bufalo study. Oil.

"Legend of Yellowstone."

8 x 10"  Oil on panel.

On our way from Yellowstone to Teton National Park we got to met huge herd of buffalo. Crowds of  magnificent animals were roaming across of the valley, across of the highway and didn't care a bit about us, humans around and any of tour transportation needs. Traffic  had to stop for a while... except for bison traffic!.. Even we lost some time and returned to Jackson very late, I got hundreds and hundreds of pictures of those hundreds and hundreds of buffalo. It was amazing experience what I hope will result in several future paintings. This is just first small study I did the other day. Oil sticks and oil with Liquin on panel.

SOLD!

Pronghorn Antelope study. Oil on panel.

 

"Pronghorn Antelope study."

8 x 10"  Oil on panel.

Pronghorn Antelopes are just too cute to ignore them!... During our trip to the West we saw those little guys just about everywhere and I'm afraid I gave my husband a reason to think that I'm sort of obsessed with taking of numerous pictures of those creatures!..

Honestly, I just finding them very curious to observe and very good subject to paint.

But I didn't paint any.. till now. This is just a little study, but I'm sure I'll be working on painting(s)

of group of those beautiful animals and with some more picturesque background that just a some dry grass here and there.

I did a quick sketch with a pastel pencil on my canvas and Finished it with oils. Here he is - Mr. Pronghorn !..

SOLD!

"Spots of Attitude" Oil Pastel WIP.

"Spots of Attitude" by Tatiana Myers

Building up new layers of Oil pastel is similar to almost sculpturing of your painting. I totally enjoy the process, but still need to remember about my time lines.

"Spots of Attitude" by Tatiana Myers. Oil Pastel WIP.

"Spots of Attitude" by Tatiana Myers
20 x 16". Oil Pastel on Ampersand Pastel Board.

My latest project, WIP is an animal portrait. Very challenging for me, not because of an animal, but because of its size. My comfort zone used to be somewhat around 8x10" and/or smaller, but I'm in need of few bigger works for gallery representation. So I decided to give it a try. Portrait of Jaguar. Not sure yet, how I'll call this painting when it is finished.

"Koi Pond" Oil Pastel WIP by Tatiana Myers. Next to finished.

"Koi Pond" by Tatiana Myers. Oil Pastel WIP.

I'm geting so close with this Koi... I feel just some more touch-ups and I'm going to call it finished. Maybe even tonight. Also I'm going to frame it the same way as I did my self-portrait. For once I'll use mat and not a spacers.

I think with more room around this painting is looking better, so it will be mat this time.

Lady Bug, the Morgan. WIP. (started 3/31/09, finished 12/27/09)

                                                       Above: Lady Bug in mixed media.

Last summer I went to our friends farm where we are keeping our horses and took few hundreds of pictures once again... My favorite one at that day happened to be a portrait of Lady Bug, young Morgan mare, posing for me perfectly on a background of majestic blue mountains. I loved her head shot so much then soon after did my first painting of her in mixed media an now returned to the same reference photo to try it in Oil Pastels. First I did a quick painting with Erengy on watercolor paper, just to worm up before serious work; and then started my painting on Colourfix with Holbein OPs. 

Above: Lady Bug In Erengy. Sketch.

  I used Art Spectrum and some Caran D'Ache gouache for underpainting and very little amount of Walnut Hollow pencils for small details.

Below: Lady Bug in Holbein OPs. WIP.

As usually when it comes to the sky of water, I had to use some Sennelier OPs, because at my opinion they are most suitable for it. Also for details I'm going to use a wash of Neopastels, but I'm not up to that point yet.

Do not pay any attention to her eyes and ears, it is nearly not finished, mostly just an underpainting. :-)

And after few month right before new year I went back to finish some of my old works, including this one. So here is Lady Bug. Finished after all.

 

 

Last days before Christmas...

"Christmas Train" by James Myers. Printer Paper, Markers.

Last days before Christmas in our house consisted of one big Chaos.

My new computer broke, my not so new car broke, our bank had some glitch, so my account looked scary and neighbor's van got stuck on our driveway, so nobody can get in and out. How about that ?!..

So... not much painting was going on. All I did some sketches on Canson (just to get rid of that paper). I adore brave people that can work with pastels on Canson. I'm not a one of them. All my sketches are intended for the trash, but I took a picture of it anyway...

And lastly and most impotently, Jim also participated in drawing and came up with this one you can see on very top of my post. It was glued with some Scotch tape to the gun box. Yes, sure, I got one more gun for my endless collection. This time - with my husbands art on it.

Ladies, you are welcome to get envious! 

Canoson, mixed pastels. "Portrait".
