I am a mother, a grandmother and a contemporary realist painter currently living in Montana. I was encouraged to be an artist when I was younger due to some sad events in my life. Through this experience I started to learn and understand how much of an impact being an artist and the art world in general could have on a person if given a chance. Later, I wanted to be a seascape painter and went to school where I received my Associates in Fine Art/Humanities (2007) and have been able to continue my artistic education through books, the internet and personal experiences. Today I do not just paint the ocean but I paint anything that inspires me. Through my artwork, I want to encourage happy thoughts, happy memories and positive perspectives in order to stimulate a happy heart within my viewer whether it be from a nature scene to something as simple as a favorite coffee cup. - Frankie Stockman 2021

I was thinking about the reason why we tend to look up quotes. I thought maybe it was just a recent internet trend but it really isn't....

So sad that you didn't like how it came out! I really, truly love it. You are so very talented it's ridiculous. You really captured the antique nature of the girl. Very beautiful.
I do know how you feel about being your own worst critic though... I usually have something in mind and it always comes out different, but I learn to love it anyway.
I LOVE thunderstorms. I think they are fun to listen to while you stay inside all cuddled up. My niece is terrified of them though.
Anyway, hang in there and I hope the second time around works out better for your liking!
Hi Kristen. Thanks for your opinions. :) I think the trouble that I had was I wanted to try this new technique that I have been thinking about off and on.. Unfortunately I have not really thought about it in the last couple of weeks. I just JUMPED in. I really need to focus on my next level of drawing. I did not do that here and that is why I am not exactly excited. But you are right.. Its not a bad drawing. I do like it as far as .. well I know I draw well.. Not patting my own back here.. :) Promise! It being ridiculous... now that made me laugh! You are cute! That was a funny way to put it. Anyways.. its nice to know that you like it as it is so far. That is a good sign.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Maybe you found it because I did a post with Raggedy Ann in the title. Hope you looked at my art. I love yours! I'll add you to my blogroll.
I agree with Kristen, I think you've nailed the drawing itself nicely! You may be at the crossroads stage with the execution though. You're experimenting with a new medium and now you're knee deep in and probably feeling a little apprehensive about where to go from here, (and maybe a little nervous about totally screwing it up!) It's natural to feel all of that. I say, go boldly forward on it. You're learning alot as you've already mentioned, and you will lock into a comfortable way of working at some point. My suggestion would be to build on top of what you've got so far, with light coats of fixitif in between, especially if the material is very chalky. Be selective about where you use blending, being careful not to overdo it. You might even try combining it with some light hatching, especially in the background area. These are only suggestions as I've said. Most importantly you need to trust your artistic instinct....the great inner Frankie! We all look forward to seeng it finished.
Dean.. I love your thoughtful posts. You are right. Absolutely right! I did try a white chalk pencil.. I think if I had just the white and either the black or brown alone. it would work. But the white mixes in and makes a gray color. Gray does not fit in with the look I am going for.. and that is where I am all messed up.
Hi Debbie! Thats funny. Glad I found you either way. :):)
