The August prompt word was 'Diverse'.
I came up with a group of little humans and one 'ambidextrous' alien, all with diverse backgrounds but united in friendship. Enjoy!
SCBWI illustrators July word of the month
July's word prompt was 'Adventure'. So many possibilities...
I ended up with a pair of adventurous kids armed with a bucket, spade and a treasure map on a hot beach day. Who knows what they'll find!
Draw This! a monthly prompt word for SCBWI illustrators
Bounce is the inaugural prompt word for SCBWI illustrator members, for the month of June, and I've been inspired to create this fun picture featuring some energetic fledgelings who can't wait to try out their wings!
Each month, SCBWI will reveal a new inspirational word and I'm looking forward to being creatively challenged. Stay tuned for each month's effort...
Yvonne wins Art on Loftus Award
Opening Night of Art on Loftus, 21 November 2014.
I was thrilled when the Art on Loftus Most Outstanding - Open Award was announced - I had won! The very generous top award was given to my mixed media painting, "Water - quiet ripples catch a shaft of light".
My inspiration was of course nature and in particular, the beautiful Blue Mountains. I experimentally combined my favourite medium of watercolour with acrylic and oil pastels and going out of my comfort zone appears to have paid off!
Here's how the Judge, award-winning artist Lyndsey Hatchwell described my work: "This work caught my eye immediately. Lovely flowing composition with skilled use of mixed media. Great atmosphere."
You can view my piece along with the other winners on: www.artonloftus.c3carlingford.org.au.
