Ceramic Gentleman, Finished!

My Gone-Native-Gentleman is all done with it's final firing!
The glossy finish and vibrant colors make me smile, not to mention his cocky grin.

I also just came home from my first life drawing class!
It went so well, I felt like my drawing skills have improved immensely!
Trying new things and developing techniques is such a challenge, but a worthy one for sure.
Stay Artsy,

English Gent, and Blogs

First off I just want to say that participating in Sketch Crawl was such a wonderful experience and meeting all you other artists and bloggers was incredible.
I'll hate to see this Art-A-Day month end, so much sharing and viewing of beautiful art should continue throughout the year! I would love to follow any of your art blogs, so if you have one please put a link in the comments below :)
I also have a blog that I update everyday, so the sharing can go both ways.
Here's my link,

Anyway, back to art!
On Monday nights I take an art class, and this month we made clay masks that were fired in a kiln. Right now we're at the glazing stage before the final firing.
When asked to make a mask I wanted to do something out of the ordinary, so I made
a proper English gentleman from the 1800's. His back story is that he went on a venture to the
Congo but and went completely native. I enjoyed adding the face paint so much!
I think the rugged native face paint and the proper English expression give my piece an interesting contrast.
