The beautiful owl is one of the oldest of the animals of the world in the Celtic tradition - a bird of wisdom with connections to the Otherworld... 

She is also associated with the 'old woman' or 'crone' aspect of the Triple Goddess figure of Celtic myth and legend and can be present with us in times of ending or darkness...

I created my Celtic Owl artwork digitally from pen drawings and ink paintings... here's what happened...

Understanding Light & Shade in Your Drawing

21/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Helping you understand the concepts of light and shade in art and ideas for how to show them in your drawings.

The objective of this drawing lesson is to learn to work on the detail of your drawings...

And start making confident marks on your page to show how shadows and light help to depict the form in your drawings.

This is important if you want to give any sense of volume or depth to what you draw so that it does not appear just perfectly flat on your page.
​
Shading (light/shade) is what makes a flat circle into a solid orange!

The beautiful rowan is one of our most beautiful and colourful trees – with frothy white blossoms in spring, delicate feathered leaves, and colourful red autumn berries.

It’s also traditionally considered as one of most magical trees!

The name ‘rowan’ is thought to come from the Gaelic word ‘rudhan’ meaning ‘the red one’ – and/or the Norse ‘run’ meaning ‘rune’, ‘a secret spell or charm’.

The Gaelic ogham for rowan is ‘luis’ meaning ‘flame’, ‘herb’ or ‘great many’.

We’ll look at some more common names for the rowan, together with their folklore and meaning in a little while, too…

Is it your dream to learn to draw in 2021 or to improve your drawing?

With our third lockdown just descended upon us, now might be just the time for you to take some time out for creativity and finally learn to draw, or to improve your drawing skills...

I've decided to offer 50% off the normal price of my Essential Drawing Skills course and my Confident Colour and Composition course for the duration of this lockdown to help those of you who need a creative outlet - have fun, get creative, and improve your skills!

Both courses are self-study - meaning you can download the PDF and any additional material, print it out if you want, and get creative at home away from the computer so that you can relax, enjoy yourself, and take it all entirely at your own pace...

Hello, 2021

4/1/2021

Hello 2021!

Welcome to another year... 
please be kind to us all, 2021 - artwork
Please, be kind to us all, 2021
Let's hope that 2021 will be kind to us all!

I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas break. I'm starting the year with a bit of a creative sabbatical - taking some time just to experiment and play, without having an idea of what I specifically want to produce or where it should fit with my existing art...

It can be difficult, sometimes, to allow ourselves the feeling of freedom - freedom from judgement or expectation when we create - the freedom that we need to develop in our personal creativity journey...

So that's what I'm going to do for a little while at the start of 2021 - allow myself that breathing space for my creative journey to find its own path - and (hopefully!) enjoy where it goes...

I'll share regularly with you what I'm up to - and if you're looking forward to my regular posts on drawing and creativity, or eager to see the remaining trees in my Celtic Tree Calendar project, don't worry, they're all in place and will all be happening...
​
So, please, stay tuned and we'll all see what happens...

​Looking forward to connecting with you in 2021 ~ Lotti x
