First Painting of November
November 1, 2011
I thought it was time to start another portrait. I love portraits and the two Thailand paintings kept me from doing them for awhile. Yeah, I started the one of my Grams, but you know…. I thought I would share with you a junky cell phone pic that I took of my latest endeavor. I [...]

New Brushes!
October 31, 2011
I was a little worried after I ordered these brushes. I’m used to going to the store and weeding through the stock in order to find one that has perfect bristles, i.e. none sticking out, away from the main bunch or bent back because of the plastic cap. After I ordered these, I realized I [...]

Maine Photos
October 29, 2011
I have realized I neglected to ever upload photos from the SOT’s Maine trip. I did not take as many as I have in the past for two reasons: 1. I was actually busy sketching this time, if you all remember, 2. The weather was nasty and cold and rainy and nasty and [...]

2nd Painting For The Month
October 28, 2011
Boats At Phi Phi Island ©Elisha Dasenbrock 2011 Well, it’s officially finished. You might be saying, “Elisha, it looks fine… great job,” but you would be wrong. The frisket would not budge. I applied white acrylic at Katie’s wonderful suggestion. Unfortunately, this did not have the outcome I was looking for. Yup. That’s the close [...]

Yea For Internet Shopping!
October 26, 2011
Today my rubber cement remover arrived (and my brand new brushes!) Unfortunately, yestserday, when my Aunt arrived (she was bringing my Grandma back after a week long road trip) she brought with her germs. I slept until 12:30pm and have had a head ache and chills all day! Which means I did not trek out [...]

Diptych Finished?
October 19, 2011
I think I’m finished, but I’m not entirely sure. I’ll wait a few days before I make a definite decision. However, I will say I’m extremely glad to be technically finished with this. I started it late 2008 or early 2009 and it’s been hanging over my head the entire time. Since I was pretty [...]

WIPS
October 17, 2011
This is the latest version. Previous version. Latest version, although a very blurry image Previous version Unfortunately it looks like the brand of frisket I used was a poor choice as it will not come off. The parts where it did come off seem to be stained. I don’t think I will be [...]

Just Call Me Catch-22
October 7, 2011
I freak out about not having a job. If I had a job I would freak out about not having time to paint. I will still be living with my Grandma for the next 9 months. If I could grow a baby in my body in 9 months, I can start making money* with my [...]

Copy Right
September 28, 2011
If you have read my blog for awhile you will know that I like copy rights. I am definitely not a part of the Facebook Generation that thinks everything is free game. However, this morning as I ate my breakfast I saw a story about Bob Dylan possibly stealing photos for some art. I didn’t [...]

1/3 Life Crisis?
September 27, 2011
I am working on a math class so I can apply for my Master’s in Art Therapy. The math class is absolute basic, not college level, possibly not even high school level. We just took the chapter two test. I think I hit my math limit. I think I’m okay with that. I took the [...]
