I thought that this piece was done a while ago. I was incorrect. I’ve written before about how rushing through a piece can lessen the structural integrity and design of the final result. What happened with this piece is similar and a little different. When I created this ring, I was hit with a […]
This morning’s illustration is titled, “Oh, the Places…” and is open to interpretation in more ways than one (take what you need). I used 05 Micron and a fine-point pink Sharpie. Artist- Julianna Chavez
If you have become familiar with the Saturday Morning Cartoons posts/series, you probably know that I like to focus on minute details in my illustrations. This Saturday I thought that I would try something a little different. Whilst I am known for my extremely expressive drawings of faces, I thought that it would be […]
Yesterday I talked about taking a new approach to how I start my pieces. I like to step outside of my comfort zone in order to help myself grow as an artist. This project definitely helped me do that. I don’t usually make earrings. They are tricky to make because I need to duplicate everything […]
For this piece I changed up the order in which I usually make things. Typically, if I’m working with multiple stones I start by wrapping the largest stone. For this piece, I knew I wanted to play with the pearl beads, so thats where I started. I made the grouping with the beads and wire […]
X marks the spot! Summer approaches and I’m eager to start the follow-up to my Disposables photography series. Until then, enjoy this throwback. (What streets am I on?) Artist- Julianna Chavez
Timing is everything. I’ve found that this holds true for many aspects of life, especially for my art. I’ve learned time and time again that if I push myself to work on a project when I’m not feeling quite right, I might do more harm than good. Sometimes my head is not in the right […]
I like to emphasize the details of passion and/or emotion in my drawings, so recently I did an exercise where I went through a memory and expressed each proceeding feeling through (an illustration of) the eyes. Following after the beloved and skilled theater artist, Whoopi Goldberg, I chose to challenge myself and opted out of using […]
What entices me about photography is that however insignificant or small a moment may be, its most lovable features usually stay in the photograph. Even if a picture is blurry, mistimed, or simply ugly, it still has a lot of memories attached to it; it’s still a truthful snippet of a part of someone’s life. […]
A definite milestone in developing my wire wrapping skill set was learning how to wrap with multiple stones. Most of the wire wrapped pieces that inspire me the most involve between four and six stones. Each of those stones has to be individually secured in its own setting- to make sure it’s attached to the wire. […]
