Art journal #3 - drawing strangers from memory

April 21, 2018 Amanda Wright

Hi everyone, here's a quick sneak-peek at my latest art journal entry. I saw a stranger on the train station the other day, and her style and outfit really stuck with me. So I decided to try to recreate her look. I really like how it turned out and honestly, it was really fun trying to draw and paint something from memory. I used watercolors in my Moleskine sketchbook, which is not the best combo, but I made it work. The paper, although thick, is not heavy enough to handle a lot of water. I show the process of how I made this page in this Youtube video, which is linked below. All the materials I used will also be linked (they are affiliate links :).

Hey everyone! Here's a little sneak peek at a watercolor painting I did on my YouTube channel. If you want to check that out, there is a link here. I used watercolor and a white gel pen for pretty much the entire painting.

Painting movie stills - sketch with me

March 8, 2018 Amanda Wright

Hello. Here's a quick post showing you the paintings featured in my latest Youtube video. I decided to ignore every and all expectation to myself and instead focus on creating. My primary goal was to explore the colors and textures of the different still images I found on Pinterest. I ended up choosing four screencaps from four great movies: The Grand Budapest Hotel, Dunkirk, The Revenant and Mad Max: Fury Road. I really enjoyed the process, and I hope you like the paintings.

Go check out my Youtube video to see me paint each image. I started them all by laying down a base color for the sky, slowly adding paint strokes and never getting too caught up in the details. I'm really happy with all of them, and I think they are beautiful in each their way.
