Unwind, Relax, and Be Creative

Come along as I learn how to relax during stressful circumstances and simultaneously be creative – colored pencil art. Learn from my successes and failures; research into basic, advanced, and inventive techniques; then stop by for something new and fun to do and learn.

The Ghost Hunt Continues

We documented our first apparition, now it is time to see if we can find more spooky spirits.   Since we know the process creating our first “ghost”; it should make “capturing” any other apparitions easier.  Come find out what type of manifestation we come across next.

A Good Old-Fashioned Ghost Hunt

It’s time to grab our ghost meters and night vision cameras to see what type of ghostly figures we can capture in the cemetery today.  I believe I figured out a cool technique to give these spooky graveyard dwellers a slightly see-through appearance.  Join me as we see if it works!

A Final Run Through the Cemetery

And we are finally here!  My most favorite cemetery in the United States.  St. Louis Cemetery #1 in New Orleans, LA. Today we will finish up the cemetery background, focusing on the lampposts and brick pillar to the gate.  And hold on to your hats!  Next weekend we will be coloring in the ghosts.

A Leisurely Stroll Through The Cemetery (Part 2)

My two most favorite cemeteries must be in my most favorite city in the country, New Orleans. A couple of blocks from where we stay in the Garden District is Lafayette Cemetery #1. Come take a tour with me.
This weekend will be wrapping up the rest of the cemetery.  Today we will be working on some of the smaller items on the right-hand side; like the branch and gate and wrapping up today’s coloring with the grass on the hill.

A Leisurely Stroll Through The Cemetery (Part 1)

I love a pleasant stroll through any old cemetery; the further back in time the headstones go, the better.  The artwork is beautiful, and I find some of the messages inscribed very interesting.  Whenever I go out of town, I try to find a day-time historical tour of that city’s most haunted cemetery and then after the sun goes down, out for a good old fashioned ghost hunt. Talking about cemeteries, today we are starting on the cemetery beginning with the mausoleums and headstones.
