Blog 3
This week is already the third week of
my Creativity Challenge, and I started strong due to the August Macke
workshop that I held last Friday.

Day 11: During the workshop, we studied
August Macke’s painting “Blue Girl Reading” to see how he used
colour to express emotion and mood. I decided to exchange the young
woman with a portrait of myself.
Later that day, I sketched some characters and part of the set at the Ottawa Little Theatre play “Ripcord”, which is always a challenge due to the fast movement of the characters and the often insufficient lighting on my drawing book. However, I am always excited to see later on what I created, even when it is not very good as it is a snapshot of my experience at the theatre.

Day 12: On Saturday, I spent the whole
day at a health workshop and was quite tired in the evening.
Nevertheless, I worked for about half an hour on my cardinal. I added
another layer of a warmer red to the chest and sides.
Day 13: At another whole day event, I
created quick sketches of the participants. It was very challenging as
they moved a lot. I am sure they would not recognize themselves but I
have enough information to trigger my memory.
Day 14: On my only day off, I continued
my work on Alex by defining his fur. Later, I created a sketch of
Olaf and Sven from Frozen for my new Cartooning and Comics courses
for children that started this week.
In the evening, the students of my second "Cartooning and Comics" course drew Olaf and Sven from "Frozen". This time, I showed the students that they are in control of changing elements of the character.
Day 17: I spent some more time felting
the cardinal. The beak is attached but it still needs some work.
If you would like some support with
your creative projects, I invite you to try out the “Art Circle”
where you can create and socialize with others for two hours on the
first and third Wednesday of the month at my home in Cumberland.
There is no instruction but you will be able to get some advice and
encouragement to proceed and finish your artworks. Please bring your
own art equipment and materials. To register and for more information
please go to my newly redesigned website www.KerstinPeters.ca.
