Doris Day

Yesterday got me in the mood and over at Tam's this months Challenge is to draw a film star. So I felt a wee bit prepared to do a quick sketch (40min) because of yesterday so here is my likeness of Doris she is super as far as I am concerned, and of course still lots of time to join in if you like. Love Dawn xx

Portrait Pt 1

I am attempting to do a portrait, something I am not very good at all. However, I am following a free on line course.   Jay is the guy who is doing the teaching on the free  Video tutorial. His Blog Is full of cool things to see. Here is where it all starts with information etc. There will be two portrait's and this is where we got to on Pt1 of  the vid. For Portrait one Hope you can come and have a go to ;0)

This is what I am attempting to do. I love this photograph full of interest and just look at those eyes I am going to be working on my eyes a lot more. Jay's of course looks fab already but I am hardly a person who has painted much in the way of portraits since school apart from the odd Whimsy girl. With the lovely Willowing who''s courses and ning group are fab BTW. Any way I am also going to enter this for PPF as I have finally done some painting. Thanks for looking, stopping by and any comments you leave me ;0) Love Dawn xx

So It's August already, I have been Olympic crazy and found it hard to blog at all. It's so cool to have them here in London so cool. You know I hate to mention Christmas so early but I have been knitting a Christmas pressie so this has taken up some time, I have also been reading a lot lately as well, go to my Face Book page for more information (just request me to be friends Dawn Anthony if your interested) Any way I have managed to tear my self away from baking, knitting, Crochet and all my other things to make this little treasure hope you like it. Love Dawn xx

Oh just so you know I have also put up Journal Journey's Ch11 for this month If you would like to join in here is a clue to the fun you can have with your journal ;0)
