Big News!

I officially have a website now!
I am very excited to finally be launching a website. I'm not sure why I delayed it so long, but now you can view my art in and easy to view, clean and organized website format. Head on over to sarahpeschell.com to see for yourself. Also with the website comes my new blog, from now on I will be posting at  sarahpeschell.com or you can follow me on twitter @SarahPeschell and instagram @sarah_peschell to see what I'm currently working on (or distracted by).
 

April's Projects

This is a work in progress that is coming along slowly. At one point I had thought I had finished it. If you follow me on instagram you may have seen a post questioning that. However, I decided it was not done and so I started experimenting with it. I like the direction it is going so far. Thank you my husband for the suggestion to add colour.
I have also been doing research on a long overdue project, setting up a website. A blog just doesn't cut it, (especially when I don't update it frequently). That project is moving along too.
So stay tuned for details

Recap of February

What did I do in February? Despite my lack of posting to my blog, I have actually been making art. During the month of February I participated in (and tried to keep up with) the Daily Practice Challenge by Opus Art Supplies. I managed to do over half of them, but I realized off the bat that I was going to miss some and I gave myself permission to do so, no catch up necessary. I posted the finished drawings to instagram (@sarah_peschell) and here are a couple collages of them. It was just practicing and playing.

Creative Prompt Week 14

I have had the drawing finished and waiting to be photographed and posted since early last week. So this post is a little late, but here it is now. The prompt was My Favourite Weather.
My favorite weather is the crisp, clear and cool days of autumn. I used soft pastels on printmaking paper for this little drawing.

Creative Prompt Week 13

Well I guess I'm not exactly sticking to one drawing a week. I have been grabbing a few minutes here and there when I have the chance and they have come a bit more frequently lately. Or maybe it's just the urge to draw coming more frequently. I do feel a bit guilty sitting down to draw rather than sweep all the dust bunnies up or doing some other house tidying. Obviously not too guilty though or I wouldn't be drawing!
The prompt for week 13 was: Scissors. I know I tend to very literally and realistically render the prompts. For now anyway I am practicing at keeping my drawing skills up. I used charcoal and graphite on kraft paper today.

Creative Prompt Week 11

I have finally picked up my drawing utensils after ignoring them for way too long. I'm going to blame Christmas prep and holidaying for the distraction. Now that we are almost heading into the second week of January we have finally gotten back into routine.
Picking up from where I left off, this week's prompt was: Elephant. It was drawn with graphite on a found paper bag.
Over the holidays it was pointed out that I forgot to share a photo of the last prompt. So here is the image from week 10 also.
