The Pond . I’ve painted and sketched this pond many times, but only recently have I given attention to it because of the @visualartspassage Fine Arts Gallery program with @cassandralkim , @johnenglishart and @raybonillapainter . They have another session coming up in July. If you’re interested in furthering your focus in the work you do, this course is for you! This week I have been away from my work space and haven’t done as much as I have wanted, but it still feels good to have direction. . . #blueshineart #thepond #gouachepainting #waterscape #homeawayfromhome🏡 #gouachelandscape

Corry is a dog walker @takingthelead07_clarington and sitter. She LOVES all her dogs and they ALL love her. I am so grateful that I met Corry many years ago, before Piper was in our family. She appreciates Art and has commissioned me multiple paintings. So when she saw the series Artists in April , she said yes to wanting her own portrait with her dogs Tyson and Bella, unfortunately one of her dogs is not with her anymore. If you’re interested in a portrait with your dog, PM me or email me for more details. .

Here is Eva @frostpatterns.2 for today’s #artistsandtheirpets with @blueshineart. I didn’t get the light on Eva’s face at all, because I had to save the drawing from a stupid mistake I did. Serves me right for providing my fellow friends with a picture with a strong light on the side the other day 😂. Thank you Eva and Charlotte !

April 16 - Artists in April & their pets. @julie_rossini_lib has been part of our creative family for over a year now. She actually only started drawing about a year and a half ago. She’s setting herself challenges which are pushing her daily and has taken classes with me. I am amazed at how much she’s developed her skill. 🩷 I struggled with this one of @julie_rossini_lib , 85% of her face was in shadow - I know there are some area which are too dark. I may have spent too long on it. The challenge was good. 👍 Thanks @julie_rossini_lib for the photo@(it’s a beautiful photo) of yourself and Eduardo. . . #blueshineart #charsartclass #charsartclass0424 #artistsinapril24 #holbeingouache #patreonfamily #artistsandanimals24

April 9th - This is @bethspencerart and Reggie. Beth came into my life almost 2 years ago. She has the biggest heart and has a big family of adorable dogs and cats. She has a wonderful Newsletter over on Substack which you must go and subscribe to, she runs fun drawing meets too! She’s an illustrator/Artist and is currently in the midst of writing and illustrating her Debut Children’s Book. I can’t wait until it’s released! This month we’re celebrating Artists and their animals, or pets… or favourite animal they may wish as their pet. I am so happy to have Beth as part of our Creative family and a great friend. #artistsandanimals24 We have a lovely creative community who we are celebrating this month. You’ll meet some people you know and people you don’t know. Please head over to their pages and say hi. I am using @holbeinartistmaterials #designergouache for these #portraits . I think this may be one of my favourite portraits of this series. The colours work well together. I’m learning daily even after 30 years of drawing and painting. Thank you @bethspencerart for all that you do for this community. . . #blueshineart #charsartclass0424 #artistsinapril24 #artistsinapril #artistsandanimals24 #makeportraits #gouacheportrait #charsartclass #reggie #dogportraits #petportrait #dogportrait
