Been quite busy lately... here is a work I wanted to do, my cousin Lee and her two sons Ned and Joseph, take an few years ago on the ferry home after a long tiring day....I felt this captured love, fatigue and time....a hard one also because of the immense detail and contrasts/ values/ lighting of the piece. 'Rest On The Ferry' - Faber Castell Polychromos, Prismacolors, 36cm x 24cm, Fabriano Artistico 300gsm paper, 30 hours, own reference. 100% pencil.  And here is a new drawing! 'Happy- Portrait of Daya', 36cm x 22cm, Stonehenge 245gsm paper, Faber Castell Polychromos and Prismacolors, Gouache highlights, 19.5 hours, clients reference. This has come through a beautiful friend that I went to school with Canada when I was nine years old. We lost touch after many years of being penpals. Wendy saw a Karina's Fine Art add on facebook, and sent a message immediately wondering if it was her friend from Australia. Sadly, I only discovered the 'others' box a few months ago, and there was a message from her! Incredibly amazing. We have been writing again ever since! This is her daughter Daya- she is 10 and absolutely beautiful, just like her mother Wendy! From her mum- "Daya means compassion. She is a girl who is so dynamic. My nickname for her is daisy or days. A month after this she shaved her head- that's my beautiful Daya!" Hope I have interpreted her well...it was an honour to do this portrait! kxx www.facebook.com/karinasfineart  Well, what a brilliant, humbling and absolutely awesome thing I can NOW share with you! But, HERE IT IS! I'M OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED in the International CP- Ann Kullberg Colored Pencil Magazine! This 4 page step by step article covers all aspects of how I completed Hudson's (my little one's) portrait, from start to the very end. It's magical to see this in digital format, and I can only imagine how magical it will be getting the actual magazine.I am gob-smacked and extremely in awe of the other artists, and the fact that I'm mentioned on the front cover. Very emotional and awesome thing! PLEASE follow the link to download your copy and have a read. Even if you're not into coloured pencils, hopefully you will still enjoy seeing how I get these works done- it's easy to read and understand. What an honour to share! kindly Karina! xx Go buy it!!!!

"My heart is innately driven to draw.... everything I see is a drawing, every face, animal and life is art......and this is my art. Enjoy. Kindly Karina xx" Archives
