Hello hello
This is a new section that I've decided to add, I've been blogging lots on other people's work, so I thought it would be only appropriate if I show you a little bit of my work as well. This will be a little portfolio, sneak preview, I'll only show one piece per post. I hope you like it!
Note: If you would like to use my artwork for any purpose, please drop me an email and I'll send you the original without a watermark, within reason of course! tammytew@gmail.com
Aphrodite is the Greek Goddess of love, lust, and beauty. Through the years, sculptors have created and re-created many versions of Aphrodite, one of which was named, Aphrodite in the garden.
The clay was draped beautifully like cloth, gently over her body as she leaned against a column.
From how defined each ripple is on her robe and how firm her shoulders are, it is obvious the Goddess of love, lust and beauty was not all about beauty, she was a strong and independent woman. I fell in love instantly with the shadows that cast on the perfection of each ripple.
I could feel the love the artist had as he or she created the piece and could almost see the pieces come to life as I laid down pencil marks on my blank sheet of A3 paper.
I couldn’t help but wonder what went through the sculptor’s mind as he or she recreated the sacred image of a well-known Greek Goddess, a symbol so close to the heart of many.
Instead of recreating the piece with color pencils, I wanted to capture the masterpiece at its purest; capturing the love the artist had for the piece and the emotions I felt.
The experience was amazing, I've always loved drawing the hours away in my little corner.
The piece was created with 2B, 3B and 4B pencils. The purple hue is actually created from my iPhone, i think its a cool little touch to it huh?
Good Luck
Toodles till later
