Pencil Hand Studies and Mixed-Media Doughnut Stack

9/3/2017

0 Comments

 

​Hello! This week was a tad busier for me in terms of non art-related appointments and obligations. I have been meeting with different accountants in order to choose who will be helping me set up the financial/tax side of starting my own business.

I have finally decided who I'm going with and am super happy because this means I will be able to move forward with my online shops very soon.  

Next week I'll be starting to teach my after-school acrylic painting and oil pastel extracurricular classes at the wonderful school I used to work at full-time, which means shifting my schedule around a bit. I am super happy to be seeing my old students again, and also meeting new ones!

Teaching classes means having to do plan work and also buying/transporting supplies, so that's something else that I will be having to schedule in as I try to build my business.

As some of you may already know (especially if you follow me on Instagram), this week I started my days with hand sketches. I really want to improve my hand-drawing abilities and will be doing my morning sketches of this subject for probably the entire month of September.

​Near the end of the month I plan to start painting hands with gouache. I also started a new oil painting this week and will be posting about it soon. 

​
​Cheers!!
