Family Portrait Commission

My boyfriend and I just signed up for the Chalk the Block event in our city! I am so excited to collaborate with him and create a chalk piece for people to enjoy! That is happening September 17-19, so I will definitely keep you guys posted if I come up with some thumbnails of our piece.

I had the opportunity to do these fun portraits for this cute little family!
These were done in acrylic on watercolor paper. I had a lot of fun playing around with layering and making the acrylic look like watercolor in some spots. 




Cheers,

Ashley Fairbourne

p.s... the annoying white border around the pictures is from Instagram... I will definitely get rid of that in the future haha.

Vacation was fun....

...so I drew some beach babes! 
It was seriously so much fun. But I am back to real life now, so I wanted to share a couple little doodles I did on my trip. I have a few pages I drew in on my trip that I will show next time. By that time I will hopefully be done with the current commission I am working on, too!

 


I also was commissioned by my friend to draw a picture of her dad for Father's Day, so I thought I would share that too! It was done with sumi ink and acrylics. I had a lot of fun messing around with a new technique for this piece!
Anyways, there is not much new besides I am cracking down on all of my commissions, starting work on my BFA show (I graduate in a year!), and then figuring out what my drawing will be for Chalk the Block! Should be a fun time. Art is the best thing.

Cheers,
