Drawing Supplies Every Artist Needs

Supplies Every Artist Must Have (and some that are just awesome!)

In this post, I cover everything you need to create amazing drawings as well as some things that aren’t needed but are incredibly handy. In truth, as I’m sure you know, all you need is paper and a pencil with an eraser. Your average mechanical pencil is an HB, the pencil you will use the most; however, to take your art to the next level you must also take your supplies to the next level. That’s…

She Speaks With Her Eyes

This beautiful piece captures the depth of emotion that can be conveyed through the eyes. Drawn on 9”x12” with graphite on Strathmore 400 drawing paper, it is a stunning work of art that speaks to the soul. The drawing is sealed to protect from smudging and yellowing, though framing is recommended to enhance its elegance. Shipping costs are included in the price, so you can enjoy this exquisite…

Halloween Art Drop!

I'm finally back on my website and there were several recent pieces to share with you all. Some I've already shared on socials but most of them haven't been shared yet. Please take a peek! I hope you enjoy!

Well, hello there friends! I know it’s been some time since I’ve updated my site but I’ve come back from the grave just in time for Halloween. To be honest, I suck at WordPress and keeping up with all the content and socials and stats and add-ons and billion other things that seem to come with it. I got insanely burnt out trying to keep up with it and it ended up taking me away from art…

This is a 5x7 inch speed piece that was done in about ten minutes. Sometimes fast sessions turn out the most incredible art. This wasn’t one of those times, but it is still cute. Check out my website to see them good stuff’ at https://willow-artistry.com. Thanks for all the love! Xx (at Foxbank Plantation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjxc2_FY2U/?igshid=lgkyk9jzk5rl

A very special portrait of my amazing mother-in-law, given to my equally amazing father-in-law for Fathers Day. The sweetest bit is that he loves her so much, the best gift I can ever give him is a likeness of his bride. So happy I could do this for him!

Even though this one isn’t finished yet, I thought I’d share the evolution so far. It’s amazing how concept can change from one point to the next. I didn’t originally plan for an abstract foreground with a crisp background, especially to this severity but I’m actually loving the direction it’s taken. Can’t wait to share the final photos of it soon! https://willow-artistry.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjwcX1lV_B/?igshid=1qi2ld6xwkpsk

What the hell is an art drop?

Great question, my friend! An art drop happens when I have created several pieces but was not able to write posts as I finished them. So instead of writing individual posts for each one, I’ve decided to randomly dump them on you in one pretty post. Sexy, right?

Every couple of months or so I have to repair or replace my laptop. It suddenly vanishes and is…

“H is for…. Hungry”

– Travis Ware

A Portrait of One Cool Guy

I met Travis at an old place of employment. It was his first day, and the poor thing was paired with me as his trainer. We were destined to be the best of buddies, known instantly when he phonetically read back the letter “h” to a caller as “hungry”.

The Only 2 Websites You Need To Master Art

The Only 2 Websites You Need To Master Art

That’s right. I went there.

It’s a big statement, I know. To make a big statement even bigger, I don’t mean that these sites are strictly for beginners, skilled artists, painters, sketchers, anatomical drawers, oil painters, or any other niche you can throw at me.

I mean that these two websites are for all of the above. Every single niche.

I have spent countless hours…
