Origami Horse

Size: 4' (cm) x 5' (cm)

Medium: Oil and acrylic

Support: Canvas

After some years of living in Alberta, and finding that my art doesn't have a large audience there, I began pondering how i could make my art more accessible to a prairie based viewer. Having already competed three pieces for my origami series i thought of this as an opportunity to bring a sense of action to these works. 

Wild horses are a symbol of the west that is slowly being replaced by dreams of loud engines, and absurdly lifted trucks. In a world where their necessary habitat is being destroyed they could one day be a forgotten feature of the foothills.

After ten years of not drawing I've finally got back into it! I forgot how therapeutic it can be.

Would love some feedback!

Един мой натюрморт от 2022 г. – ярки жълти рози върху дълбок тъмен фон.

Жълтият цвят на розите носи символиката на радостта и светлината, но тук, обгърнат от сенките, той придобива ново, по-въздържано, но и по-магично излъчване.

Wanted to change the angle and try something new.

I do feel like the eyes are not wide enough but it still looks good

So I’m teaching these watercolor classes for beginners and this is the guided painting we’ll be doing this week… had to rush it a little to finish in time to promote for the event, but I think it’s cute and people will enjoy painting it. I think I’m also gonna do a step by step guide to handout as well… just in case it’s a little too much to tackle in one sitting for most.

Hi!!!!! These are drawings I drew during the school year so far on days where my workload is typically lighter!!!! Most of the time whenever Im drawing I’ll get kids asking me if I made the drawing and its always a silly question for me! I had a lot of fun drawing for this school year, see ya'll in the next one! (or when I get a few more assignments for the remaining school year!)

EDIT: To those who are trying to claim I am "unprofessional"- there are a lot of young subs like me who also do draw on the easier days- i.e., High schools where the classes are mainly upperclassmen/end of the year, or even AP classes- where they're mainly having study halls, or review packets. Not at schools where there are rowdy middle schoolers or elementary schools. You seriously need to chill. I've seen subs eat in classrooms where there are kids actively learning, or being on their phones the entire time, or even reading. But you choose to comment rudely towards me because you don't understand that I am actively paying attention to the class while drawing. Nothing wrong with it.

Also- some of yall are thinking WAY too hard! None of my work is the type of art youre thinking it is, and I have been in schools where teachers or other subs will be in the same room as me while Im drawing and none of them are bashing at the me the same way some of you are. If it truly was inappropriate, I would have someone at the school letting me know, but its not! My art style is my own, its not a "brony art" style or whatever else your trying to attack me for. I genuinely just find a lot of joy drawing my ocs, and some form of personifications of myself. If you think too hard about art styles and start accusing people of false things, maybe you need to reflect on yourself. Yes, I am highly aware theres bad people on the internet and that can lead to giving bad impressions on various things, but if you carry that onto others without knowing them; you become part of that problem. So instead of bashing at me, and trying to paint me as the terrible person you think I am; ask yourself why you are being upset towards me and realize that I have been in this system long enough to know whats okay and whats not. Just because you are older than me, dont mean you have the right to attack me unreasonably. I just wanted to spread some whimsy here since its the end of the school year!

EDIT 2: Seriously, you need to stop wrongfully accusing others because of their drawings. Im a young woman, I dont go around showing children my drawings; thats first of all unprofessional and second of all; Im just there to keep them safe. Like, I dont like sitting around or being on my phone, I like using the time I have. Also, as much as you all claim that this is "problematic" it really isnt. I keep my sketchbook closed when I am not using it and in my bag. I tend to fully work on my drawings when I have those "planning periods" or lunch breaks. If it was problematic, then yea I wouldnt be here sharing the drawings. I have shown my drawings on this subreddit before on a different account and had lots of praise; but you're all stuck on bashing me for being into cute things. I dont explain kids any of my drawings, besides simply stating its an oc. I never give them drawings, I just do my job and draw. I only get a few that do look and as I stated- they do compliment. I also get teachers who do look too and they arent as upset as yall because they arent thinking as wrongly as those who are bashing me are.
