Home visit

So, this weekend I’ve come home for my nan and granddad’s 50th wedding anniversary! Got a meal with the whole family tomorrow, which will be great! But, while I’m here I thought I’d take advantage and photograph all my old art work, so that I can post it on here 🙂 It was great fun going through all my old work, and seeing all the stuff I had done and how my work had progressed. I will sort out the photo’s in the next few days so that I can post them over several posts, starting with my oldest one’s and ending with more recent work. So, keep an eye out over the next week or so!

Paint stencils

My newest interest when it comes to art is trying out stencils to paint with. I draw an image and then cut it out, leaving the stencil. I use this to paint over, using water colour paints, to create a unique design. I was inspired by Suzanne Breakwell’s art work, especially her prints which you can see on her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/suzannebreakwellart?fref=ts . I have since shown her and discovered she uses inks, not water colour, and said it’s because they give more vibrant colour; So, for my next ones I would like to get some inks to experiment with. Hopefully I will get them before Christmas, and when I do I will post them too, but for now here are the few I’ve done. Feel free to comment.

Starting over

Okay, I’ve had this blog since roughly 2006 and never really been very good at the whole regular blogging thing… So, I’ve pretty much wiped it clean to start again, in an attempt at making it something I keep up with this time! A lot is going to be changed, including the main theme of the blog – it’s now going to focus on my interests and hobbies, rather than being random dribble about my life 🙂 However, so you know a little about me, this is my intro. As you can guess, my name is Gemma Garrett; But I am not the politician/ Miss UK. I am nearly 21, and am currently in my second year at university. I’m studying Early Childhood, to become a qualified Early Years Professional. In my spare time, my hobbies involve looking after my horde of gerbils/hamsters, writing (stories and poems) […]

Anime or Manga

A group of my friends, and I are really into Manga, or Anime. I really like it, and a friend of mine who’s a good artist can draw really good Manga style pictures. I’ve also started to try out a few ideas and started to draw, well attempt to draw, a few Manga pictures. Some I’ve found on the internet and some I’ve changed slightly, or some even that I’ve seen in animation and drawn from that. I don’t think there very good I only like one of them, but two of my friends that I’ve shown them to like them. I’m not so sure.

I got stuck on the one and haven’t finished it (it was a face), so the she only has one eye and no mouth what so ever,OPPS! I should show you a few pictures, but I don’t know whether they’ll show up as […]
