http://freehandcelt.blogspot.com/2011/12/songs-of-hunt-line-art.html
Celtic art and design: Enjoy! Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Songs of the Hunt (line-art). I've been away from the blog for a while, and this is why. About a month ago, I drew the following template/outline:. So, school ended and I went to work. The chest (so-called because I think it looks like a big traveling case) at the bottom of the design was.mixed. I wasn't terribly happy with how the three sections at the top came out, but the derivations from the Lindisfarne Gospels on the left and right ...Ps, B...

The Freehand Celt: Metallic Acrylic Psychotic
http://freehandcelt.blogspot.com/2012/01/metallic-acrylic-psychotic.html
Celtic art and design: Enjoy! Friday, January 6, 2012. Over the course of the past few days, I've been working like a fiend to complete this piece:. It was a lot of work. A lot of work. It went pretty well, over all. At the end of the process, my hand still isn't as steady as I'd like it to be, but it's much steadier than it was, and I've come to understand better how the bristles on my brushes react to pressure, movement, wet paint, drying paint, etc. Also interestingly, from my more agnostic and social...

The Freehand Celt: November 2011
http://freehandcelt.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Celtic art and design: Enjoy! Tuesday, November 29, 2011. My wife is nuts for IKEA. Just loves the place. For me, IKEA is akin to some Alighieri-esque torture cavern, in which my claustrophobia is subjected to the ultimate in designer terror. But loving my wife, as I do, I accompany her into that awful place. Ignore the text in the middle, it's not important, and it didn't stay. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Veritas ab Candidas project. I start with a template, and the slowly fill in one section at a time:.

The Freehand Celt: Swaggitude
http://freehandcelt.blogspot.com/2011/12/swaggitude.html
Celtic art and design: Enjoy! Friday, December 30, 2011. The holiday season, for me, extends more or less from my birthday on October 30 through Christmas and its surrounding celebrations. This year, considering my constant focus on improving my art, people were not at a loss for what to get me. (Nor was I at a loss to get myself. I bought a few of these things, much to the chagrin of people shopping for me.). Additions to my collection include:. 3 new Bristol pads of varying size. A gold leaf kit. Well,...
