Lucy ~~ by Kimberly Kelly Santini


"Lucy," paper sized 6" x 8", image approximately 3" x 6", Golden Open Acrylics on artists multimedia board, depicting a Miniature Schnauzer. Commissioned and completed for a wonderful Painting a Dog a Day fan - thank you so much MBL!!

Sketching in paint isn't something many artists make a habit out of. It's a process I love, though, and something I ask my students to consider trying.

It gives me the chance to play with frames/margins and really push the envelope with brushwork while reinforcing my drawing skills. It helps me to get to know my tools in a looser environment. Painted sketches are lighthearted, fun to create, and whimsical.

They also allow me to offer a lower price point - these puppies start at $49 (which compliments the $200 entry level for a miniature portrait very nicely).

Want a painted sketch of your own? it's super easy - just email me!

Thanks for looking at - and sharing - my artwork with your friends and family,
Kim

PS Here's anther view of Lucy, my ever-willing muse, as she "sat" for a larger exhibition painting. Both these 9" x 12" paintings (Mona Lisa is in the other one) were my demonstrations at the last couple workshops.

stash that will be coming to tomorrow evening's
