de pintura.&amp;nbsp; Estoy contenta con el resultado.&amp;nbsp; Me tomó bastante tiempo terminarlo (el termo de la izquierda solamente me tomó 6 horas).&amp;nbsp; Esta vez comencé con los objetos y dejé el fondo para el final (algo que supuestamente no debemos hacer, sino todo lo contrario).&amp;nbsp; Pero quería empezar por la parte "fácil" (se me hace muy difícil pintar esas telas del fondo... lo que he logrado aquí no se parece mucho a las telas reales, sino más bien son una especie de síntesis, y gracias a esto lo terminé más rápido).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y una pequeña recomendación:&amp;nbsp; ¡NO manchar con colores oscuros como hice aquí, es casi imposible cubir ese tono con amarillo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Yellow Still Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the last still life we made at painting class this year. I'm proud of the result. It took me a really long time to finish it (only the hot water carafe on the left took me 6 hours). This time I started with the objects and left the background last (something we're not supposed to do, we're supposed to do the opposite). But I wanted to start with the "easy" part (I find the drapery background too hard... what I have achieved here does not look quite like the real drapery, I kind of "synthesized" it and finished it in almost&amp;nbsp;no time at the end). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One recommendation: DON'T underpaint with dark colors like we did, it's almos impossible to cover with yellow later!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Porque Dios es muy grande, y mandó a Moisés a mi clase de pintura, y lo conocí y me invitó a participar. Ha sido una experiencia muy linda y por la cual estoy muy agradecida.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Today, november 21, 2011, the group exhibition "Roots and Colors" was inaugurated at the Museo de la Nación, in Lima, Perú, where I am participating with the work I'm including in this post. How did this happen? Thank God who sent Moises to my painting class, who I met and who invited me to participate.

En el curso de pintura, hicimos durante casi un mes (9 horas a la semana) este primer ejercicio. Hubo muchas cosas que aprender sobre la luz y las sombras, sobre definición de bordes, etc. etc, cosas que traté de incluir en mi pintura, pero que igual faltaron por falta de experiencia. Pero bueno, igual estoy muy contenta con el resultado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ahora estamos haciendo un bodegón con distintos tonos de azul y matices (mezclas) con otros colores.

Es mi regalo por el día del Padre para mi querido esposo, que es fanático de los Beatles (y de otros músicos también, no se puede negar).  Así que, con todo el cariño del mundo, le hice esta pintura.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tomé una foto de Internet, la modifiqué en la computadora, y luego trabajé con una impresión de esa foto. Así resultó esta versión "pop". A mi esposo le gustó mucho, lo cual, por supuesto, me dejó muy contenta : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ahora ya no estoy más en el taller de pintura (que llevé por 4 meses). Ahora estoy inscrita como alumna libre* en dos cursos de la carrera de arte (sí, al fin --&amp;gt; ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡!!!!!!!).  Estoy MUY CONTENTA, pero MUY CONTENTA con estos cursos (pintura y fundamentos visuales).  Al fin estoy recibiendo la teoría que tanto quería conocer. Recién he empezado.

The Beatles!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I made this painting a couple of months ago when I was attending a painting workshop.  It is my Father's Day gift for my beloved husband, who is a fan of the Beatles (and of other musicians as well, it can't be denied).  So, with all the love of the world, I made this painting for him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I took a photo from the Internet, I modified it on the computer, and then I worked from a print out.  That's the history behind this "pop" version.  My husband liked it very much, which, of course, made me very happy : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now I'm not attending the painting workshop anymore (I took it for 4 months).  Now I am an external student* of two courses of the art career (yes, finally!!!).  I am VERY HAPPY, but really VERY HAPPY with these classes (painting and visual fundamentals).  I am finally receiving the theory that I wanted so much to know.  I have just started.  Let's see what happens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;* External student:  I am taking only two courses with the kids who are taking the whole art degree (because that's all the time I have, but the idea is to take them progressively, God willing).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;* Alumna libre:  llevo solo dos cursos con los chicos que están llevando toda la carrera (porque no tengo tiempo, pero la idea es irlos llevando poco a poco Dios mediante).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-2621098614498030246?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/2621098614498030246/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=2621098614498030246&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/2621098614498030246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/2621098614498030246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2011/08/y-ahora-con-ustedes-beatles.html' title='Y ahora con ustedes...

En estas clases me divierto mucho, pero no me enseñan nada de lo que quiero (yo quiero aprender teoría, técnicas, y cosas así, pero de eso no me explican nada). A estas clases van alumnos con una foto de un cuadro que les gustó (de Internet casi siempre, y más de una vez de Brito, que está de moda), y con la ayuda del profesor hacen una "réplica". Yo la verdad no le encuentro mucho el gusto a esto, pero en fin, cada uno con su tema. (sí claro, como si yo no hubiera copiado cuadros ajenos antes jeje).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Bueno, este cuadrito es un original por donde se lo mire, pues hasta la foto la saqué yo misma (me inspiré en uno de los retos del sitio &lt;a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenge/A8476C9A-B21A-4A8A-97E3-6D2D18AD0826"&gt;Daily Paintworks&lt;/a&gt;).  Me tomó Dios y su ayuda terminarlo también, he de decir.  Y lo dí por terminado pues mi paciencia y desesperación ya no daban más, y como leí por allí, para lograr pintar con calidad, hay que hacer primero mucha cantidad (y bueno, no sé cómo me aplica esto pero igual lo pensé y lo dejé allí, felizmente!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zDT7eODeI4Q/TfboZU43GJI/AAAAAAAAAic/0IgYYZSUEAI/s1600/Naranjas%2B-%2Brecortado.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 168px; height: 205px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617933106992846994" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zDT7eODeI4Q/TfboZU43GJI/AAAAAAAAAic/0IgYYZSUEAI/s320/Naranjas%2B-%2Brecortado.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zDT7eODeI4Q/TfboZU43GJI/AAAAAAAAAic/0IgYYZSUEAI/s1600/Naranjas%2B-%2Brecortado.jpg"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zDT7eODeI4Q/TfboZU43GJI/AAAAAAAAAic/0IgYYZSUEAI/s1600/Naranjas%2B-%2Brecortado.jpg"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Orange Salad&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It hasn't been a month and I'm posting again; way to go, just like in the old times! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well, it's because I've been attending to "painting classes" again, but now somewhere else.  I have a lot of fun in these classes, but I don't really get the instruction I'm looking for (I want to learn theory, painting techniques and things like that, but I don't get that at all).  My classmates take pictures of paintings they like to class (from the Internet mostly, and more than once from Brito, who is now 'the chic trend') and with the help of the teacher they do a "replica".  I really don't like this very much, but... whatever, everyone has its own ideas (and sure, as if I had never copied somebody else's paintings before.... for the sake of practicing, anyway).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well, this small painting is an original by its own right, because I even took the source photo myself (I got the inspiration from one of the challenges of the &lt;a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenge/A8476C9A-B21A-4A8A-97E3-6D2D18AD0826"&gt;Daily Paintworks &lt;/a&gt;site).  It took me ages and a lot of work to finish it, I must say.  And I called it finished only because my patience and desperation were overwhelming, and as I read somewhere, to achieve quality painting skills you must first paint in quantity (and yeah, I don't know how that applies to me now but I thought of this anyway and left the painting there, thank God!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-6081635864039680568?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/6081635864039680568/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=6081635864039680568&amp;isPopup=true' title='17 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/6081635864039680568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/6081635864039680568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2011/06/ensalada-de-naranjas.html' title='Ensalada de Naranjas'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C1eA3N7grSk/TfboZfD1RKI/AAAAAAAAAik/dbVom7pc6p0/s72-c/IMG_8556%2B02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-271038038834518816</id><published>2011-05-28T23:30:00.012-05:00</published><updated>2011-05-29T00:09:16.890-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trabajo en progreso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Littlest Petshop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primer proyecto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrílicos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrylic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='juguetes'/><title type='text'>Pequeña pintura mural</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XzcW0IeA8Kc/TeHND7CD3MI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/Earsp7IHAPc/s1600/mural%2Bal%2B14%2Babr%2B2011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 163px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611992077949983938" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XzcW0IeA8Kc/TeHND7CD3MI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/Earsp7IHAPc/s320/mural%2Bal%2B14%2Babr%2B2011.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#000099"&gt;Cada figura tiene un diámetro de unos 40 cm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#000099"&gt;Every figure has a diameter of appx. 15.7"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Así quedó una pared del cuarto de mi hija luego de que terminara de pintarle los Littlest Petshops que quería. Me divertí bastante haciendo este pequeño mural, y fue la primera vez que pinté en la pared de esta manera; a pesar de las pequeñas proporciones, tuve que hacerla de contorsionista varias veces: No es fácil pintar en la pared, mis respetos a los muralistas!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Small wall painting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The above photo shows how one wall of my daughter's bedroom ended after I finished painting the Littlest Petshops that she wanted.  I had lots of fun making this wall painting, it was the first time I ever painted this way, and even though it wasn't big, I had to play contortionist many times: it's not easy to paint on a wall, my hat's off for the muralists!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Aquí unas fotitos que fui tomando mientras avanzaba, y en algunas aparece mi ayudante favorita (mi hija preciosa :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are a few photos taken while I was working.

Soy oficialmente la chofer de mis hijos :) y mientras espero a que terminen sus clases (natación, judo, etc. más o menos 15 viajes a la semana), a veces me animo a dibujar (cuando veo que voy a tener suficiente tiempo, por lo menos media hora corrida). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ya no tengo NINGUNA vergüenza de dibujar en público, y es más, me parece, por lo menos en la clase de natación, que podría haber inspirado al menos a una persona, otra mamá, a hacer algo productivo mientras espera (ella también está con cuaderno y lápiz, pero no dibuja, saca cuentas, o algo así...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh! y casi lo olvidaba, feliz segundo aniversario, querido blog :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Summer so far - Earrings&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;And well, one month of the year is already gone, almost half of summer. I'm the official driver of my kids :) and while I wait for their classes to finish (swimming, judo, etc. more or less 15 trips per week) sometimes I feel like sketching (when I see I'll have enough time, at least a full and uninterrupted half an hour). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now I have NO shame at all of sketching in public; even more, I think, at least at swimming class, I might have inspired one other waiting mom (she also sits with a notebook and pen, but she doesn't draw, she does some kind of math...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh!

Por ejemplo la otra vez, hace unas pocas semanas, hice la torta para el baby shower de mi hermana. Bueno, hice es un decir, porque en realidad compré las tortas hechas (en Wong -supermercado-), y lo único que hice fue decorarlas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y tenía varias razones para hacerlo: uno, mi horno está malogrado, dos, no tenía mucho tiempo para preparar las tortas, y tres, no me salen bien, nada en la cocina en general (aunque de vez en cuando logro alguna que otra "obra maestra"=irrepetible ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me gustó reencontrarme con la masa elástica, puedo decir que ya le perdí el miedo (en mi cabeza no cabía cómo un círculo podía cubrir un cilindro sin hacer arrugas, es "geométricamente imposible", pero la masa elástica no piensa ni ha llevado clases de geometría, así que se le puede convencer).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y bueno, echándole la culpa a la falta de tiempo, el modelo que hice fue inspirado por este &lt;a href="http://www.halderman.net/cakeblog/2010/06/28/alys-baby-shower/"&gt;otro&lt;/a&gt; que me pareció lindo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno, les mando muchos saludos a todos, y espero que todos pasen una hermosa y feliz Navidad junto con todos los que quieren, e igualmente para el Año Nuevo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muchas gracias por los comentarios dejados en el post anterior, se les agradezco de todo corazón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;Creativity vs. Time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In the last few months I have not found the time to put a pencil over a sheet of paper, but I was able to do some creative stuff, even against time. For instance, a few weeks ago, I made my sister's baby shower cake. Well, sayng I made it is not completely true because I actually bought the cakes (at the supermarket), and the only thing I did was decorating them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And I had many reasons to do so: first, my oven is not working, two, I didn't have much time to prepare the cakes, and three, cakes I make are less than OK, as everything I make in the kitchen in general (although once in a while I get to make a "masterpiece" = unrepeatable ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed meeting with fondant again, I can say I've lost the fear I had when planning to work with it (I couldn't understand how a circle could cover, smoothly and without wrinkling and folding, a cylinder, that is "geometrically impossible", but.... fondant doesn't think and neither has it taken geometry classes, so, it can be convinced).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And well, blaming the lack of time, I got the inspiration for the cake from this &lt;a href="http://www.halderman.net/cakeblog/2010/06/28/alys-baby-shower/"&gt;other one &lt;/a&gt;that I liked a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I send you all lots of greetings, and I hope everyone has a beautiful and happy Christmas together with those you love, and the same for the New Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many thanks for the comments left on the previous post, I really appreciate them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-2535073882729044221?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/2535073882729044221/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=2535073882729044221&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/2535073882729044221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/2535073882729044221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/12/creatividad-vs-tiempo.html' title='Creatividad vs tiempo'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TQ4wLh999JI/AAAAAAAAAfk/iCQ9ViP4UwY/s72-c/torta%2Bbb%2Bshower%2BCLaudia.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-6735912785461810471</id><published>2010-10-17T12:03:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-10-17T12:17:46.013-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grafito'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conejo'/><title type='text'>Conejín</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TLsstjEtsII/AAAAAAAAAfM/eQsGwX7Iots/s1600/Conejo+con+zanahoria+02+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 224px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529062128548163714" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TLsstjEtsII/AAAAAAAAAfM/eQsGwX7Iots/s320/Conejo+con+zanahoria+02+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Querido blog, hace tanto tiempo que no te visitaba, pero al fin pude parar un ratito para dejar un nuevo dibujo (el único que tengo, dicho sea de paso). Mi vida anda a mil por hora (hemos tenido nuevas reparaciones/remodelaciones en la casa, he retomado la empresa de chocolates que había dejado, sigo con las traducciones, además de los chicos y las cosas que "se supone debo hacer como mamá").   Pero nunca te olvido, querido blog, te recuerdo junto con todas las maravillosas personas que me fuiste presentando y que recuerdo igual pero que no tengo tiempo de visitar.

My life is running at a thousand mph (we had to do new repairing/remodeling in the house, I have retaken the chocolate business I had left, I keep doing translations, besides the kids and the stuff "I'm supposed to do as a mom"). But I never forget you, dear blog, I remember you and all the wonderful people that you kept introducing to me who I remember too but who I have no time to visit.  Please send them my best wishes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-6735912785461810471?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/6735912785461810471/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=6735912785461810471&amp;isPopup=true' title='13 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/6735912785461810471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/6735912785461810471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/10/conejin.html' title='Conejín'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TLsstjEtsII/AAAAAAAAAfM/eQsGwX7Iots/s72-c/Conejo+con+zanahoria+02+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-9107843539230617995</id><published>2010-08-18T11:48:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-18T12:20:23.178-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grafito'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perro'/><title type='text'>Sigo Ocupada</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TGwPI7FfkmI/AAAAAAAAAe8/NRboGN85sVA/s1600/perrito+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 211px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506793090341376610" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TGwPI7FfkmI/AAAAAAAAAe8/NRboGN85sVA/s320/perrito+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sigo ocupada, creo que eso no va a cambiar pronto :) Estuve un poco bajoneada y desanimada en el tema del arte sabe Dios por qué, pero ya pasó, bueno, está pasando.  Ya vi que no voy a poder hacer nada muy complejo pronto, pero sí volver a dibujar en el auto o en la sala de espera de las clases de mis hijos.  Hay poca gente y ya me conocen, así que no hay mayor problema.  Incluso enseño mi dibujo al final (fue lo que hice con este perrito).  Este dibujo lo hice sin prisas y disfrutando cada trazo, en dos sentadas en una sala de espera (2 horas más o menos). El modelo: de una revista de mascotas. Los ojos quedaron un poco más pequeños que en el original, y me parece que las orejas un poco chuecas, pero... qué más da. Igual me gusta mucho.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Las entradas a mi blog (y mis visitas a los suyos) van a seguir un poco más espaciadas, a menos que ocurra algo que ayude a que eso cambie.  Pero seguiré aquí de todas maneras. Gracias por estar allí amigos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;I'm Still Busy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I'm still busy, and I think that's not going to change soon :) I've been a little bit down and discouraged about art God knows why, but it's over now, well, it's going away. I now know that I won't be able to do anything too complex any time soon, but I'll go back to drawing on the car or at the waiting rooms of my kids' classes. There's only a few people there and they already know me, so there's not much problem. I even show my drawing at the end (that's what I did with this doggy). I did this drawing with no rush and enjoying every stroke, in two sittings at a waiting room. The model: from a pet magazine. The eyes ended up a little bit smaller than the original, and I think the ears are not exactly balanced, but... whatever. I still like it a lot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;My blog entries (and my visits to yours) will still be distant, unless something happens that helps that to change. But I'l be here anyway. Thank you for being there friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-9107843539230617995?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/9107843539230617995/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=9107843539230617995&amp;isPopup=true' title='26 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9107843539230617995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9107843539230617995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/08/sigo-ocupada.html' title='Sigo Ocupada'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TGwPI7FfkmI/AAAAAAAAAe8/NRboGN85sVA/s72-c/perrito+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3582636864073128253</id><published>2010-07-07T17:32:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-07-07T17:50:36.616-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grafito'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cisne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><title type='text'>Realmente Ocupada</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TDUAusKLhWI/AAAAAAAAAes/mheetcn-i4U/s1600/cisne+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491296122776028514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TDUAusKLhWI/AAAAAAAAAes/mheetcn-i4U/s320/cisne+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt; Cisne en el lago - lápiz y grafito&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Swan on the lake - pencil and graphite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Realmente he estado muy ocupada últimamente.  He estado muriendo por poner algo (este cisne), pero no tenía tiempo de sentarme y concentrarme en el blog.  Me he dado tiempo para pasar a mirar los blogs que me rodean y que disfruto visitando, pero para cuando terminaba, ¡ya no tenía tiempo de postear!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Este año soy delegada (voluntaria) de las clases de mis hijos.  Yo pensé que esto iba a ser cosa relativamente fácil, pero no me esperaba tanto trabajo.  En el colegio de mi hija hubo un campeonato de fútbol relámpago en el cual tuvimos que participar organizando un stand de intercambio de stickers/figuritas de los álbumes del mundial.  Y por el día del maestro, en el colegio de mi hijo, hicimos a mano el regalo para las 21 profesoras. (Y claro, yo fui de las más entusiastas en proponerlo y sostener la idea, así que tuve que 'fajarme' con buena parte del trabajo).  En otra entrada trataré de poner las fotos de lo que hicimos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Ah, y el cisne, lo hice hace más o menos un mes atrás, en casa de mis padres, cuando estábamos de visita.  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fturmog/2084400310/"&gt;Foto &lt;/a&gt;original de Internet, Flickr, de &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fturmog/"&gt;fturmog &lt;/a&gt;para ser más exactos. Espero no le moleste...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Really Busy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I have been really busy lately.  I've been dying to post something (the swan) but I had no time to sit and focus on the blog.  I took the time to stop by the 'surrounding' blogs, the ones I enjoy visiting, but when I was done, I had no time left for posting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This year I'm the (volunteer) 'class delegate' [I wonder what's the correct word for this in English] of my children's classes.  I thought this was going to be something relatively easy, but I didn't expect so much work.  At my daughter's school they organized a quick soccer championship and we had to participate organizing a sticker-interchange stand (those from the soccer world cup sticker albums).  And, for teacher's day, at my son's school, we hand made the 21 teacher's gifts (and of course, I was one of the most enthusiasts in proposing and supporting the hand-made idea, so I had to deal with a good portion of the work).  I'll try to show you some photos of what we did on another post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Oh, and the swan, I made it approximately one month ago, at my parent's home during a visit.  Original &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fturmog/2084400310/"&gt;photo &lt;/a&gt;from the Internet, Flickr, from &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fturmog/"&gt;fturmog &lt;/a&gt;to be more precise.

Desesperada por salir. Luego del bajón del último post, que gracias a Dios ya se me está pasando (millones de gracias por todas sus alentadoras palabras, de corazón), me di cuenta de varias cosas que había perdido de vista un poco. Pintar se supone que debe ser divertido! Incluso si me estoy esforzando y saliendo de mi “zona cómoda”; no me debo comparar con nadie (no me debo comparar con nadie, no me debo comparar con nadie!!!); y debo hacer más cosas que me provoquen realmente.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Como el dibujo que pongo hoy. No es un tema muy común… pero qué importa! Fue lo que me&amp;#160; provocó hacer en ese momento (un sábado por la noche, donde no había ninguna presión de nada, los chicos se habían quedado a dormir en casa de sus abuelitos, mi esposo veía tele y yo lo acompañaba dibujando). Se cumplía lo que puse en mi perfil: mucho tiempo y espacio a mi disposición. Comencé a las 12 y terminé como a las 2 a.m., más o menos. Y sí, no salimos pues :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;And there was light!&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Well, this is another case of desperate painting. Desperate for coming to light.&amp;#160; After my down of the last post, that thank God is already going away (million thanks for all your encouraging words, from the heart), I realized that I had somehow stopped considering a few things. Painting is supposed to be fun! Even if I’m trying hard and going out of my “comfort zone”; I shouldn’t compare myself with anyone else (I shouldn’t compare myself with anyone else , I shouldn’t compare myself with anyone else!!!); and I have to make more things that I really enjoy making.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Just like the drawing that I’m posting today.&amp;#160; It’s not much of a common subject, but …who cares! That’s what I felt like to paint at that moment (a Saturday night, where there was no pressure involved about anything, the kids were sleeping over at their grandparents, my husband was watching TV and I was by his side drawing).&amp;#160; I was having just what I have included on my profile:&amp;#160; a lot of time and space for me.&amp;#160; I started at 12 and finished around 2 a.m. And yes, we didn’t go out :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1206773709303330786?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1206773709303330786/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1206773709303330786&amp;isPopup=true' title='28 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1206773709303330786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1206773709303330786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/06/se-hizo-la-luz.html' title='¡Se hizo la luz!'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TBqDxg5HC6I/AAAAAAAAAeo/aN1KyvjYky0/s72-c/Eco%2001%20001_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>28</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3656321638230582388</id><published>2010-05-31T19:40:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-05-31T19:40:27.401-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tinta'/><title type='text'>Quiero cortar</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TARW-Oqh6TI/AAAAAAAAAec/Pzm51nMR07U/s1600-h/Quiero%20cortar%20001%5B5%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Quiero cortar 001" border="0" alt="Quiero cortar 001" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/TARW-otU3DI/AAAAAAAAAeg/039OKUtKA6o/Quiero%20cortar%20001_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="344" height="324" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;No he tocado un lápiz, un lápiz de color, un pincel ni nada parecido en las últimas semanas. Simplemente no he tenido tiempo, y también he de confesarlo, tampoco muchas ganas.&amp;#160; No sé si me he contagiado o simplemente soy yo. Lo que ha estado pasando últimamente por mi cabeza es que he estado decepcionada realmente de mis pinturas.&amp;#160; Quisiera que fueran mejores, ¡pero no me salen! Ni modo, practicando poco tampoco se llega muy lejos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;No estoy deprimida ni mucho menos, por si acaso, al contrario, últimamente he estado muy ocupada y bastante satisfecha con mi vida off-line gracias a Dios :) Pero sí he sentido esta sensación de “inutilidad artística”, pensando si vale la pena o no … pero sí vale. Lo que tengo que dejar de hacer es compararme, simplemente disfrutar de lo que hago, como en los viejos tiempos…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Bueno, ya se me está pasando de todas formas. Aquí les dejo lo que hice hoy mientras me tomaba un descanso viendo Cold Case, después de revisar tareas y firmar exámenes (muy buenas notas por cierto :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Creo que debería retomar lo de dibujar en el auto… o algo por el estilo.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;¡Gracias por leerme y aguantarme!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;I want to cut&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I haven’t touched a pencil, or colored pencil, or brush or anything like that in the last few weeks. I simply didn’t have time, and I must confess too, neither much eagerness.&amp;#160; I don’t know if I “caught” it or if it’s simply me. What has been going around in my head lately is that I have been feeling really disappointed with my paintings. I wish they were better, but I can’t!&amp;#160; No way, and with the little practice I have I’m not getting any better.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’m not depressed or whatsoever, just in case, all the contrary, I have been very busy and very satisfied with my off-line life, thank God :) But I did have the sensation of “artistic uselessness”, thinking if it’s worth it or not… but it is.&amp;#160; What I have to stop doing is comparing what I do with others’ work, and simply enjoy what I do, as in the old times…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Well, I’m overcoming it anyway. Here I’m posting what I did today while taking a break and watching “Cold Case”, after revising homework and signing tests (very good grades by the way :).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I think I should restart drawing in the car… or something like that.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;Aunque también podrían ser flores de manzana o de ciruela… al menos yo no reconozco la diferencia por las flores :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Me he demorado más o menos media hora en cada flor, tiempo esparcido en varios días, en varias cortas secuencias por día, en cada momento que tenía libre y en el que tenía ganas de pintar.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Usé papel marrón oscuro, pero no me di cuenta de que no era lo suficientemente oscuro para contrastar bien con las flores, así que al final decidí poner un tono más oscuro para el fondo alrededor de las flores (que viva el sepia!)&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;It took me approximately half an hour on each flower, time divided through many days, during short sessions each day, every time I had free and was in the mood for painting.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I used dark brown paper, but I didn’t realize that it wasn’t dark enough to make a good contrast with the flowers, so at the end I decided to put a darker color as a background for the flowers (long life to sepia!)&lt;/p&gt;

Los paisajes definitivamente no están en este grupo :) Admiro a las personas que son capaces de simplificarlos y plasmarlos en una pintura.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En la categoría de NO PAISAJES está este papagayo. Aún no lo he terminado, pero lo estoy poniendo porque se acaba el plazo para incluirlo en el segundo reto de &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project&lt;/a&gt;. La foto nuevamente es de &lt;a href="http://www.ffyrebird.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ffyrebird&lt;/a&gt;, ¡gracias!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Actualización: Bueno, lo terminé.

Landscapes are definitely not in this group :) I admire people who are able to simplify them and paint them in a painting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This macaw belongs to the NOT LANDSCAPE category. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m posting it because today is the due date for the second challenge at the &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project&lt;/a&gt;.

La foto de referencia es de &lt;a href="http://www.ffyrebird.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ffyrebird&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Desde que vi la foto supe que la iba a hacer en papel negro. Hace tiempo que quería volver a pintar en este papel, y la piedra blanca de la pagoda me parecía perfecta para usarlo, bajo la luz de la luna, rodeada de algunas hojas de palmera, y quizás de algunas enigmáticas nubes. Y bueeeno… no salió como lo había imaginado, jejeje, pero ni modo. Me divertí haciéndolo. Recordé poner los colores atmosféricos en las luces reflejadas en la piedra, pero soy malísima para darle uniformidad a los lápices de colores, sobre todo en el fondo, bfff… Y finalmente, no supe cómo resolver el primer plano, la parte del jardín delante de la pagoda… si alguien se apiada y tiene alguna sugerencia, será bienvenid@ (no prometo hacerlo, pero sí considerarlo :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Night Pagoda&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I did this drawing for April’s first challenge of the &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project&lt;/a&gt; blog.&amp;#160; The reference photo is from &lt;a href="http://www.ffyrebird.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ffyrebird&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;From the moment I saw this photo, I knew I was going to draw it on black paper.&amp;#160; It had been a while that I wanted to use this paper, and the white stone of the pagoda seemed perfect to use it, under the moonlight, surrounded by palm tree leaves, and maybe by some mysterious clouds. And we-e-ell… it didn’t come out as I portrait it in my mind hehe, but what else could I do? I had fun doing it.&amp;#160; I remembered to put the atmospheric colors on the reflected lights on the stone, but I’m really bad at achieving uniformity on the cp’s strokes on the background, *sigh*… And finally, I couldn’t resolve the first plane, the part of the yard in front of the pagoda … if there is someone out there merciful enough to give me any suggestion, it will be very welcome (I don’t promise to actually make it, but to seriously consider it :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Aquí está el paso a paso/Here’s the step-by-step:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S8VMGpKbi5I/AAAAAAAAAc8/lJBbC_MENc4/s1600-h/Pagoda%20Nocturna%2001%20001%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;

del blog “&lt;a href="http://martinealison.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Ma dollhouse joue un grand air de peinture&lt;/a&gt;”, un blog que dicho sea de paso está lleno de sorpresas artísticas muy agradables. Este juego consiste en colocar la sexta foto del blog en la entrada correspondiente y pasarlo a 10 personas, si no me equivoco. Y yo, con todo cariño, se los dejo a todos ustedes para que sigan el juego libremente. Me parece divertido y es una manera de revivir cosas que están por allá, en los albores de los blogs y prácticamente relegados al olvido :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;¡Muchas gracias Martine por pensar en mí… !&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;************************************&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Le Jeu de la Sixième &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Or “The game of the sixth…”.

And I, from the bottom of my heart, give it to you so that you can join in.&amp;#160; I think it’s fun and a good way to ‘revive’ things that are far there, at the dawn of the blogs and practically forgotten :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Many thanks Martine for thinking of me…!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-9058433741258443302?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/9058433741258443302/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=9058433741258443302&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9058433741258443302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9058433741258443302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/04/le-jeu-de-la-sixieme.html' title='“Le Jeu de la Sixième…”'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S8KZrTWyhyI/AAAAAAAAAcw/JrVqWsb1c8s/s72-c/Gallo5_thumb%5B17%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3089933423565156962</id><published>2010-03-29T20:52:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-29T20:56:29.970-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paisaje'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Monthly Sketch Project Blog'/><title type='text'>Paisaje con Lápices de Colores</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZIcS0gEI/AAAAAAAAAbk/rfjkkJ_oVqw/s1600-h/Final%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="Final Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="Final Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZJAYmVoI/AAAAAAAAAbo/ohc9LouT2oU/Final%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Paisaje –  Polychromos en papel Mi-Teintes - 11 x 15 cm&lt;br /&gt;Landscape – Polychromos on Mi-Teintes paper – 4.4”x6”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Este paisaje es mi participación en el segundo desafío de este mes del blog &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project&lt;/a&gt;. La foto de referencia es de &lt;a href="http://raenassketchjournal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Raena&lt;/a&gt;. Me pareció una foto tan bonita que decidí pintarla, a pesar de que los paisajes no son mi tema favorito. Mi tendencia a poner mucho detalle hace que no disfrute demasiado hacer cosas como esta, en la que los detalles abundan. Creo que por eso me gustan más los acercamientos. No estoy muy contenta con el resultado, para ser sincera. Me he demorado mucho, he hecho muchas correcciones, he recibido consejos (que no he podido usar esta vez), pero la conclusión final es que he aprendido bastante (o al menos eso creo :) ¡Y eso me gusta! Vaya que fue un reto…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZJ7OXBwI/AAAAAAAAAbs/sNRuYHn1_F4/s1600-h/01%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="01 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="01 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZKehqwlI/AAAAAAAAAbw/5kz5IRvmkR0/01%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="175" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZLX6zWmI/AAAAAAAAAb0/isAUkYI-6LM/s1600-h/02%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="02 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="02 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZL1edUrI/AAAAAAAAAb4/pGPVYYJs5Qw/02%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="178" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZMRuzyCI/AAAAAAAAAb8/S_ACC0V6lf4/s1600-h/03%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="03 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="03 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZNCFisXI/AAAAAAAAAcA/HmqURPqeN6M/03%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="178" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZNl4sX4I/AAAAAAAAAcE/UswEHW7HNvA/s1600-h/04%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="04 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="04 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZOWfHDSI/AAAAAAAAAcI/Fs_MYQfJFtk/04%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="177" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZPRp97pI/AAAAAAAAAcM/Ew9lQU7-5TE/s1600-h/05%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="05 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="05 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZQpdJVpI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/6Ixo4PGKerE/05%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="177" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZRtBtv0I/AAAAAAAAAcU/-pq90UbMobI/s1600-h/06%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="06 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="06 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZSSjlZQI/AAAAAAAAAcY/UxHQhayozG8/06%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="178" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZTA2MaqI/AAAAAAAAAcc/pyByJI9S0Qw/s1600-h/07%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="07 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="07 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZT7iTQWI/AAAAAAAAAcg/z7y_Otg_7gE/07%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="179" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZUyu_1dI/AAAAAAAAAck/TGxpBXLIKFE/s1600-h/08%20Paisaje%20Amarillo%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="08 Paisaje Amarillo" border="0" alt="08 Paisaje Amarillo" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZVxr0QZI/AAAAAAAAAco/B12mgJXKGpc/08%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="179" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colored Pencil Landscape&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This landscape is my entry for the second challenge of this month of the &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project&lt;/a&gt; blog.  The reference photo is &lt;a href="http://raenassketchjournal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Raena’s&lt;/a&gt;. I thought it was such a lovely picture that I decided to paint it anyway, in spite of landscapes not being my favorite subject.  My tendency to put too much detail makes me unable to really enjoy when I do stuff like this, where details are abundant.  I think that is why I like close-ups better.  I am not especially happy with the result, to be honest. It’s taken me too long, I’ve made a lot of corrections, I’ve even received advise (that I couldn’t use this time), but the bottom line is that I have learned a lot (or at least I think so :)  And I like that! Wow it was a challenge…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-3089933423565156962?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/3089933423565156962/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=3089933423565156962&amp;isPopup=true' title='34 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3089933423565156962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3089933423565156962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/03/paisaje-con-lapices-de-colores.html' title='Paisaje con Lápices de Colores'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S7FZJAYmVoI/AAAAAAAAAbo/ohc9LouT2oU/s72-c/Final%20Paisaje%20Amarillo_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>34</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-8270054752516419926</id><published>2010-03-14T17:34:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-29T22:19:07.394-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='verduras'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bodegón'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cebolla'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Monthly Sketch Project Blog'/><title type='text'>Visita Familiar</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51ttM3e7NI/AAAAAAAAAaE/giT6wPb8MY8/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%5B79%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN: 0px auto; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title="Reunion Familiar" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51tt3-TLpI/AAAAAAAAAaI/N9dd9jbhG_w/Reunion%20Familiar_thumb%5B77%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="384" height="210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0076ec;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visitando a la Familia 17 x 9 cm apx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0076ec;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visiting Family 6.8” x 3.7” appx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0076ec;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LdC Polychromos FC en papel Canson Mi-teintes color marfil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0076ec;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FC Polychromos CP on Canson Mi-teintes ivory paper&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Esta semana que los chicos me dejan libres las mañanas, pude aprovechar algunos momentos de cada día para hacer una pintura con lápices de colores. Desde que vi la foto en el blog &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project&lt;/a&gt; me propuse hacerla porque me pareció preciosa y dentro de mis posibilidades técnicas. Esta foto la tomó Gillian Mowbray del blog “&lt;a href="http://thefandingrose.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Fading Rose&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hace mucho tiempo que no pintaba con mis queridos lápices de colores y ya los estaba extrañando. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;También hice un intento para la foto propuesta en el blog “&lt;a href="http://unaideamuchoarte.blogspot.com/p/propuesta-marzo-2010.html" target="_blank"&gt;Una Idea Mucho Arte&lt;/a&gt;”, en óleo. Fue tan desastroso que no tengo cara para mostrárselo a nadie. Simplemente la pintura no se entiende. En fin. Estoy muy contenta con mis aliáceas :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pasos previos-WIPs&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51ynwwJNOI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/Hz1iSU5GaVc/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%2001%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 01" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 01" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yoRqVdjI/AAAAAAAAAaU/YekEV5LdnG0/Reunion%20Familiar%2001_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="144" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51ypAOpFFI/AAAAAAAAAaY/GPU237RacEc/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%2002%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 02" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 02" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51ypkOapFI/AAAAAAAAAac/bE433Q6L1jE/Reunion%20Familiar%2002_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="143" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yqrBTnNI/AAAAAAAAAag/eM1MpyB5Khc/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%2003%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 03" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 03" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yrFiG0xI/AAAAAAAAAak/bDDroOSVEqU/Reunion%20Familiar%2003_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="143" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yrmG93-I/AAAAAAAAAao/8Ziw5g6rLMU/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%2004%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 04" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 04" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51ysHXuEVI/AAAAAAAAAas/k4t7JFb_xBU/Reunion%20Familiar%2004_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="143" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 06" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 06" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yss1wKcI/AAAAAAAAAaw/Ytz0-X6genE/Reunion%20Familiar%2006_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="145" /&gt; &lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 09" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 09" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yz99DrzI/AAAAAAAAAbg/jT2vuP-4CuQ/Reunion%20Familiar%2009_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="142" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51ywk2Z50I/AAAAAAAAAbM/faDoqmbUYFw/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%2010%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 10" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 10" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yxBonjmI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/EoDrS6PfQzg/Reunion%20Familiar%2010_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="142" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yyVLsybI/AAAAAAAAAbU/_untIJaiEqs/s1600-h/Reunion%20Familiar%2011%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto" title="Reunion Familiar 11" border="0" alt="Reunion Familiar 11" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S51yy_6sMhI/AAAAAAAAAbY/viL_BRP1-00/Reunion%20Familiar%2011_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="145" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="400"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Visiting Family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This week I was able to take advantage of a couple of moments every day, during the mornings while the kids were at school, to finish a cp painting.  I decided to do it since I saw the reference photo on the &lt;a href="http://monthlysketchproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Monthly Sketch Project Blog&lt;/a&gt; because I found it very beautiful and within my technical abilities.  This photo was taken by Gillian Mowbray from the &lt;a href="http://thefandingrose.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Fading Rose&lt;/a&gt; blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s been a while since I hadn’t painted with my beloved colored pencils and I was already missing them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also gave a try to the photo proposed on the &lt;a href="http://unaideamuchoarte.blogspot.com/p/propuesta-marzo-2010.html" target="_blank"&gt;Una Idea Mucho Arte&lt;/a&gt; blog (One Idea Lots of Art Blog – under my translation), in oil. It ended up so bad and disastrous that I can’t show it to no-one! The painting is impossible to understand. But whatever.

En este día se conmemora la lucha de la mujer por su participación, en pie de igualdad con el hombre, en la sociedad y en su desarrollo íntegro como persona. Es fiesta nacional en algunos países.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;La idea de un día internacional de la mujer surgió al final del siglo XIX, en plena revolución industrial y durante el auge del movimiento obrero. La celebración recoge una lucha ya emprendida en la antigua Grecia por Lisístrata, quien empezó una huelga sexual contra los hombres para poner fin a la guerra, y que se vio reflejada en la Revolución francesa: las mujeres parisienses, que pedían "libertad, igualdad y fraternidad", marcharon hacia Versalles para exigir el sufragio femenino, pero no fue sino hasta los primeros años del siglo XX cuando se comenzó a proclamar, desde diferentes organizaciones internacionales de izquierda, la celebración de una jornada de lucha específica para la mujer y sus derechos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;Tomado del Blog de &lt;a href="http://vamosacocimar.blogspot.com/2010/03/macarrones-express.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="400"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;International Women’s Day and Sunshine Award&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today is the International Women’s Day (and birthday of my youngest sister :), and I wanted to wish all women of all ages have and excellent day, and that we recall the origin of this commemoration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I wanted to share with everyone that my dear friend &lt;a href="http://avocaken.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Ken Barclay&lt;/a&gt; has given me the “Sunshine Award”, which has made me really happy and honored.

Para traernos un poco de aires marinos en este día (el mar es romántico, ¿o no? :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Gezz, it’s Valentine’s Day!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(The title is a play on words in Spanish)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Happy Valentine’s Day &lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S3jfWOBfFVI/AAAAAAAAAZI/bR4NYtkDOMo/s1600-h/Caracola%20pequena%20001%5B17%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 15px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="Caracola pequena 001" border="0" alt="Caracola pequena 001" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S3jfW464-CI/AAAAAAAAAZM/PVPqn7fY8io/Caracola%20pequena%20001_thumb%5B15%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="234" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;for everyone! Today it’s still the day of love and friendship. And today I’m posting a couple of drawings that I have done of sea shells, a subject that I can’t stop liking.  I made both drawings using live models that I have at home, the one above on my sketchbook, the other one on a 180g Canson paper, and both done during my waiting at my son’s classes (yes, agaaaaain!).  So that we have some sea memories today (the sea is romantic, isn’t it? :)  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-8822618827301895442?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/8822618827301895442/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=8822618827301895442&amp;isPopup=true' title='35 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8822618827301895442'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8822618827301895442'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/02/caracolas-hoy-es-san-valentin.html' title='¡Caracolas, hoy es San Valentín!'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S3jfVZv0uRI/AAAAAAAAAZE/In50mDGuAvc/s72-c/Caracola%20por%20ambos%20lados%20001_thumb%5B8%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>35</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-1616644870640750485</id><published>2010-02-04T00:08:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-28T23:16:10.496-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abalorios'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='arete'/><title type='text'>Hoy toca abalorios</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="Abalorio 001" border="0" alt="Abalorio 001" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S2pWRIx2auI/AAAAAAAAAYE/TqL8_3QgKLw/Abalorio%20001%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="346" height="154" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 15px 0px 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="arete y abalorio 001" border="0" alt="arete y abalorio 001" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S2pWRi3ztaI/AAAAAAAAAYI/UPKc6feYKO4/arete%20y%20abalorio%20001%5B30%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="159" height="326" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En esta entrada pongo unos dibujos de unos abalorios (cuentas, gemas) y un arete (aro, pendiente) que hice el otro día mientras estábamos de visita en casa de mis padres. He estado un poco vaguilla últimamente (en la pintura…), pero es que las cosas están un poco movidas en casa con esto de las vacaciones de verano de los chicos y algunos detallitos más. Ha sido una gracia que pudiera hacer aunque sea esto últimamente (y otro dibujo que mostraré después), disculparán la pequeñez y la sencillez.

I’ve been a little bit of a loafer (in painting…) lately because things are a little bit hectic at home due to the kids’ summer holidays and a few other reasons. It’s been sort of a miracle that I had the time to finish these (and one drawing that I will show later), you’ll have to forgive the simplicity this time. And I’m using Windows Live Writer for the first time, let’s see how it goes…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1616644870640750485?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1616644870640750485/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1616644870640750485&amp;isPopup=true' title='22 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1616644870640750485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1616644870640750485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/02/hoy-toca-abalorios.html' title='Hoy toca abalorios'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S2pWRIx2auI/AAAAAAAAAYE/TqL8_3QgKLw/s72-c/Abalorio%20001%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>22</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3851047751302390375</id><published>2010-01-19T14:06:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T14:23:54.368-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bougainvillea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conejo'/><title type='text'>Bouganvillea y conejo</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428530781431032082" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S1YD--94aRI/AAAAAAAAAXc/hie6aJu4eq4/s320/Botanico+-+Bouganvillea.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428533150890168594" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S1YGI549kRI/AAAAAAAAAXs/bX-Zdsh4mGk/s200/Conejo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Bougainvillea y conejo Lápiz HB, 3B, grafito en papel Canson &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Bougainvillea and rabbit HB, 3B pencils, graphite on Canson paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Esta es una flor de bougainvillea recogida en la puerta de las clases de mi hijo.

Hace un año me preguntaba varias cosas al empezar este blog, y una de ellas fue si llegaría a esta fecha ¡y lo he logrado! Sin ningún tipo de obligación, ha sido todo una jornada de puro placer y diversión. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Voy a enumerar las principales conclusiones a las que he llegado sobre lo que este querido blog ha significado para mí durante este primer año, y luego incluiré un poquito de historia sobre cómo lo comencé:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Tener un blog ha sido un estímulo para pintar y dibujar: ambas cosas me gustan, pero sin el blog no hubiera hecho ni siquiera lo poco que logré hacer este año.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Conocí gente maravillosa a través del contacto en sus blogs y en el mío. Valoro mucho las amistades y la cercanía que hemos ido construyendo durante este año.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Ha sido una oportunidad para mostrar lo que me gusta hacer, pues no lo había hecho antes, y se siente muy bien :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Mi blog se convirtió en mi espacio personal. Yo no salgo mucho para hacer cosas para mí, y dedico mucha parte de mi tiempo a mis hijos. Así que mi blog se convirtió en un oasis "a prueba de niños", donde encuentro compañía especial y estímulo para pintar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Además, es rico decir de vez en cuando "tengo mi blog", eso me hace sentir importante :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aprovecho la oportunidad para agradecer a todas las personas que siguen este blog y a todos los que dejan comentarios. En otros blogs he visto anuncios que dicen "Este blog se alimenta de tus comentarios", y es cierto, aunque más bien debería decir "este blogger"...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Este blog nació sin ningún objetivo claro ni ninguna pretención, y prácticamente de la noche a la mañana. Yo había estado siguiendo (mirando) algunos blogs sobre lápices de colores y pintura, incluso dejé contadísimos comentarios de manera anónima porque no tenía una cuenta en blogger. Hasta que me topé con el blog de Karin Jurick (Different Strokes From Different Folks). Allí no pude dejar los comentarios que quería porque no tenía cuenta, pero en ese tiempo yo pensaba que tenía que tener un blog :) y como tenía algunos dibujos guardados, me lancé (y participé en algunos desafíos de DSFDF hasta que el tiempo no me dio más).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pero a pesar de no tener las cosas claras a nivel formal en mi mente, sí sabía que quería pintar más desde hacía tiempo. Y definitivamente este blogcito me ha ayudado mucho a lograrlo. Nunca se me hubiera ocurrido dibujar en la sala de espera de las clases de mi hijo o fuera de las clases de ballet de mi hija si no hubiera sido porque no tenía nada que postear para la siguiente semana. Estoy muy agradecida por eso.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Y si estás leyendo estas líneas en este momento, estoy MUY agradecida por eso también :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;¡Un gran abrazo!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;My blog's first birthday!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I’m so happy, I can’t believe this day arrived. A year ago I had many doubts regarding this blog, and one of them was if I could get to this moment, and I made it! Without any kind of obligation, it’s been a journey of pure pleasure and fun! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ll list the main conclusions I’ve come up with about what this dear blog has meant to me during this first year, and then I’ll include a short story of how I started it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Having a blog has encouraged me to draw and paint: I love both things, but without the blog I wouldn’t have done even the very few works I could finish this year. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I met wonderful people through the contact on their blogs and mine. I value a lot the friendships and the closeness that we have been building during this year.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It has been an opportunity to show what I like to do, I had not done it before, and it feels so good :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;My blog turned into a personal space. I don’t go out much to do things for myself, and I dedicate a lot of my time to my kids. So my blog has turned into a "child-free" oasis, where I find special company and encouragement to paint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In addition to all that, it’s nice to say once in a while “I have a blog”, that makes me feel important :) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ll take this opportunity to thank everyone that follows and/or leaves comments. I have seen on other blogs margin announcements that say “Your comments feed my blog”, and that’s true, although it should say “Your comments feed my soul”…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This blog was born with no clear objectives and no fancy pretensions, and practically in the blink of an eye. I had been following (visiting) some blogs about colored pencils and painting, I had even left a few comments anonymously because I had no blogger account. Until I found Karin Jurick’s blog (Different Strokes From Different Folks). I couldn’t leave any of the comments I wanted to leave there because I had no account, but at that time I thought I had to have a blog to do so :) and as I had a few drawings kept, I jumped in and started my blog (and participated in some of the DSFDF’ challenges until I had no time anymore).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But even though things were not crystal clear in my mind about blogging, I did know I had been wanting to paint more for a long time. And this little blog has most definitely helped me a lot to do that. I would have never thought of drawing in the waiting room of my son’s classes or outside my daughter’s ballet classes if I hadn’t had anything to post for the following week. I’m very grateful for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if you’re reading these lines right now, I am VERY grateful too :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Big hugs!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-7873887557975196238?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/7873887557975196238/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=7873887557975196238&amp;isPopup=true' title='32 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/7873887557975196238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/7873887557975196238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/01/primer-aniversario-de-mi-blog.html' title='¡Primer Aniversario de mi blog!'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S1ChN3JibII/AAAAAAAAAXU/oUXWQT3_fPs/s72-c/Presentaci%C3%B3n1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>32</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-4655631354025632571</id><published>2010-01-13T14:24:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-13T14:37:39.400-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='punica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='granada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><title type='text'>Segundo dibujo botánico</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S04d6jqAZLI/AAAAAAAAAXM/evBc2M7IZYs/s1600-h/Botanico+-+Punica+granatum+nana.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 235px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426307492869072050" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S04d6jqAZLI/AAAAAAAAAXM/evBc2M7IZYs/s320/Botanico+-+Punica+granatum+nana.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Granada enana (Punica granatum nana) Dwarf Pomegranate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Pencil on Canson paper  15 cm x 15 cm aprox. - appx. 6" x 6"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este es en realidad el primer dibujo que he hecho este 2010, hace dos días, otra vez fuera de casa (de visita en casa de mis padres). Una granada enana que saqué de un jardín del vecindario.  Y hoy, que retomamos las clases de mi hijo, me llevo las cosas para dibujar nuevamente allá. Al parecer hacerlo en casa es lo más difícil de lograr, ¿por qué será?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Bueno, estoy a dos días de que este blog cumpla un año en el ciberespacio. He estado reflexionando un poco sobre lo que significa para mí, así que espero poner algo al respecto en el siguiente post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Un beso grande a todos :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Second botanical drawing&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This is actually the first drawing that I have done in 2010, two days ago, again not at home (during a visit to my parents).  A dwarf pomegranate I took from a garden of the neighborhood.  And today, that my son's classes will start again, I'm taking my drawing stuff to use them once again there.  It seems that doing it (drawing) at home is the hardest thing to achieve, why is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well, in about two days this blog will be one year on the cyberspace. I have been thinking a bit about what it means to me, so I hope to include something about that on the next post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;A big hug for everyone :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-4655631354025632571?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/4655631354025632571/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=4655631354025632571&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/4655631354025632571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/4655631354025632571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/01/segundo-dibujo-botanico.html' title='Segundo dibujo botánico'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/S04d6jqAZLI/AAAAAAAAAXM/evBc2M7IZYs/s72-c/Botanico+-+Punica+granatum+nana.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-715829337972323145</id><published>2010-01-02T13:34:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-02T13:50:03.295-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='canna'/><title type='text'>Primer dibujo botánico para 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sz-UXqoMPwI/AAAAAAAAAXE/ieMPfIpEG-c/s1600-h/Botanico+-+Canna.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 279px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422215610678132482" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sz-UXqoMPwI/AAAAAAAAAXE/ieMPfIpEG-c/s400/Botanico+-+Canna.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Siempre comento que me encantan las plantas, pero últimamente he pintado/dibujado más otras cosas que plantas. Así que este año lo comienzo con una entrada con uno de mis temas favoritos. En este caso es una rama que tuvo flores y que al momento de dibujarla ya tenía los frutos y semillas secos y listos para germinar. &lt;a href="http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/canna_lily.htm"&gt;Aquí &lt;/a&gt;les dejo una foto de la planta, muy parecida a la del jardín de mis vecinos (de donde la saqué :). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Este dibujo lo hice el mes pasado en la sala de espera de las clases de mi hijo, la ramita me acompañó varias veces hasta que la terminé.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;First 2010 Botanical drawing &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I always comment that I love plants, but lately I have painted/sketched most anything else but plants. So this year I'm starting with a post of one of my favorite themes. In this case it's a sprig that used to have flowers and that at the moment of drawing it, it already had dried fruits and seeds, ready to germinate. &lt;a href="http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/canna_lily.htm"&gt;Here &lt;/a&gt;is a photo of the plant, very similar to the one on my neighbor's garden (where I took it from :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I did this drawing last month while on the waiting room of my son's classes. The sprig came along with me many times until I finished it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-715829337972323145?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/715829337972323145/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=715829337972323145&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/715829337972323145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/715829337972323145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2010/01/primer-dibujo-botanico-para-2010.html' title='Primer dibujo botánico para 2010'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sz-UXqoMPwI/AAAAAAAAAXE/ieMPfIpEG-c/s72-c/Botanico+-+Canna.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-4081264167674664130</id><published>2009-12-22T14:12:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T14:37:15.713-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Navidad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thank you'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bodegón'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='OSWOA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><title type='text'>¡Feliz Navidad!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SzEalR0VzHI/AAAAAAAAAW0/IxyEGMMCk_4/s1600-h/OSWOA+interchange+2009+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418141054443834482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SzEalR0VzHI/AAAAAAAAAW0/IxyEGMMCk_4/s400/OSWOA+interchange+2009+003.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dibujo Navideño en lápices de colores / Christmas CP OSWOA painting&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;polychromos, 15 cm x 10 cm (6" x 4")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Queridos amigos.

Thank you again Milly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-5550261289190754783?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/5550261289190754783/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=5550261289190754783&amp;isPopup=true' title='34 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5550261289190754783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5550261289190754783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/12/gracias-milly-y-feliz-cumpleanos-ken.html' title='¡Gracias Milly y Feliz Cumpleaños Ken!'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SyqQ5CSulFI/AAAAAAAAAWs/HYelmbqyBdM/s72-c/Milly+s+shells.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>34</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-5468858006444248433</id><published>2009-12-13T22:22:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-13T22:28:57.332-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tinta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><title type='text'>Dos más en la sala de espera</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SyWv7o69NBI/AAAAAAAAAWk/zKXuNU8CqjQ/s1600-h/la+silla+sicologica.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414927566114731026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SyWv7o69NBI/AAAAAAAAAWk/zKXuNU8CqjQ/s320/la+silla+sicologica.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SyWv7fkC2AI/AAAAAAAAAWc/ktYHz5a2bx0/s1600-h/Sala+de+espera+lampara.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414927563602712578" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SyWv7fkC2AI/AAAAAAAAAWc/ktYHz5a2bx0/s320/Sala+de+espera+lampara.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dos dibujos más de la sala de espera, a solas.

Son de cuando esperaba en el auto, y sólo tenía una hora (últimamente bajo y la espero en la academia de ballet y son dos horas).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Como alguien algo perceptivo se habrá podido dar cuenta, últimamente no tengo mucho tiempo. Entre las traducciones (que en todo el año no he tenido muchas), y las actividades de fin de año, la pintura está quedando un poco relegada. ¡Y la extraño mucho!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In the car&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I did these drawings once again a couple of times I was waiting for my daughter. They're from when I used to wait in the car, and I only had one hour (lately I wait inside the ballet academy and I have two hours).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As someone with experience in the perceptive department would have already noticed, lately I don't have much time. Between the translations (that I haven't had many during the year), and the year end activities, painting is being a bit consigned to oblivion, and I'm missing it so much!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1085100759862658116?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1085100759862658116/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1085100759862658116&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1085100759862658116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1085100759862658116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/11/desde-el-auto.html' title='Desde el auto'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SxMRh1ovFuI/AAAAAAAAAVc/8JD05gDVWlg/s72-c/Desde+el+auto+01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-5280781275096607332</id><published>2009-11-17T15:36:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T16:00:35.529-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='botella'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tinta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perfumero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><title type='text'>Botella que sale torcida ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SwMJUkqn5bI/AAAAAAAAAVE/BmMa6d9ODaE/s1600/Botella+de+agua+lipstick+y+organza.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 254px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405174226819212722" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SwMJUkqn5bI/AAAAAAAAAVE/BmMa6d9ODaE/s400/Botella+de+agua+lipstick+y+organza.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Botella de agua, pequeño perfumero y lápiz de labios/&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Bottle of water, small perfume bottle and lipstick&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí va otro dibujo, hecho esta vez esperando a que mi hija termine sus clases de ballet. Comencé con luz natural desde la izquierda, y terminé con luz artificial desde el centro y la derecha. Ni modo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como comenté en el post anterior a este (en la sección de comentarios), estoy comenzando a hacer los dibujos en frente de otras personas.  Hasta ahora los hacía sola en el auto o en la sala de espera totalmente a solas.  Pero creo que me estoy volviendo un poco exhibicionista... Felizmente que se me dio por esto, y no por bailar encima de una mesa...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Y les voy a adelantar algo que me ha emocionado muchísimo ... gané un sorteo en el blog de &lt;a href="http://drawingsfromnature-milly.blogspot.com/"&gt;Milly&lt;/a&gt;. ¡Estoy super felíz! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As the bottle is bent...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another sketch, done this time while waiting for my daughter to finish her ballet classes.  I started with natural light from the left, and ended with artificial light from the middle and right.  Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned on the previos post (in the comments section), I'm starting to sketch in front of other people.  Until now, I used to sketch alone in the car or in the waiting room completely alone.  But I think I'm turning into an exhibitionist... good I turned into doing this and not on dancing on top of a table...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(And I'll tell you in advance of something that has excited me a lot... I won a giveaway on &lt;a href="http://drawingsfromnature-milly.blogspot.com/"&gt;Milly's &lt;/a&gt;blog.

De los presentables, claro :) La suerte que tengo es que no hay gente alrededor y tengo cierta tranquilidad para hacerlos y no pasar por loca. Y a veces también hago algunos en el auto (la botella de alcohol la hice en el auto justamente, la otra a solas esperando).&lt;br /&gt;Y tengo que anunciarlo oficialmente: me retiré de las clases de pintura :( No tengo suficiente tiempo ahora a finales de año, y quisiera también buscar algo un poco más "académico". Me da penita, pero, ni modo...&lt;br /&gt;Gracias por estar allí :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402879645635749554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SvriaXpOprI/AAAAAAAAAU0/tPyfLqqybWs/s400/mi+rodilla.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Alcohol Bottle and My Knee&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m working at home, as I usually do when I have a commission (translations), glued to the computer, making progress and checking on mails, blogs and crazy facebook. I don’t find much time to paint/sketch lately, so today I’m posting something I did a few days ago. These sketches are part of the things I do while waiting for my kids. The ones that can be shown, of course :) I’m lucky there’s no one around and that I find quietness to make them and not being taken as a crazy lady. Sometimes I sketch while I wait in the car (the alcohol bottle was done there, the other sketch while waiting alone).&lt;br /&gt;And I have to announce officially: I’m gone from painting classes :( I have not enough time at the end of the year, and I would also like to find something more “academic”. It’s sad, but, that’s the way it is…&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for being there :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-5543671462367882956?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/5543671462367882956/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=5543671462367882956&amp;isPopup=true' title='17 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5543671462367882956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5543671462367882956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/11/botella-de-alcohol-y-mi-rodilla.html' title='Botella de Alcohol y Mi Rodilla'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Svtn7BTC4TI/AAAAAAAAAU8/F2a9-v1Oi7A/s72-c/botella+de+alcohol2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-5686775813367151062</id><published>2009-11-04T10:52:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-04T11:11:16.862-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sofá'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><title type='text'>El rincón del psicoanálisis</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SvGjuwL7fhI/AAAAAAAAAUM/NgE-PL_oTOs/s1600-h/sofa+sicologa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400277451798183442" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SvGjuwL7fhI/AAAAAAAAAUM/NgE-PL_oTOs/s320/sofa+sicologa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Este dibujo es del sofá que está en la sala de espera donde mi hijo tiene clases en las tardes, siempre está igual porque más bien lo usan de mesa y de adorno que para sentarse.

Nos quedamos en un bungalow y la pasamos estupendamente. Fueron unos días maravillosos, familiares (nos hacían mucha falta), aprovechando las vacaciones de los chicos. Hice unos dibujos, que aquí incluyo, y también he puesto algunas fotos (para que juzguen qué tan cercano salió el dibujo), y también algunas otras para que tengan una idea del precioso lugar. Anímicamente, aún estoy allá... mmm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Aquí dejo una &lt;a href="http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=29d62814-269e-4e32-a8f6-314d44749435"&gt;vista en 3D &lt;/a&gt;de la playa, que hizo mi esposo en Photosynth.

We stayed at a bungalow/small house and had a great time. We had some wonderful, family days (which we needed a lot), taking advantage of school holidays. I made a couple of sketches, included here, and I am also including a few photos (so that you can see how close or not the drawing is), and also some other photos so that you can have an idea of the beautiful place. My spirit is still there... mmm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is a &lt;a href="http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=1bd15d63-284f-465b-996e-924e6c9f4807"&gt;3D view &lt;/a&gt;of the beach, made by my husband on Photosynth.

Vimos el tema de la rueda de color, los complementarios, los primarios, secundarios, grises neutros y por saturación, y ya no sé cuánta cosa más. La cosa es que ¡hicimos teoría! AMO la teoría, no puedo vivir sin teoría, necesito un marco referencial que me diga qué hacer... y tengo que saber cuáles son las reglas (para luego poder romperlas :), el hecho es que sin teoría mi vida sería miserable, así de simple. Llámenme cuadriculada, inflexible, o lo que sea (no se me ocurre nada más), pero para mí la vida es más simple con receta (si los hijos hubieran nacido con manual*, si el esposo viniera con manual, si tantas cosas vinieran con manual...!)&lt;br /&gt;En fin.

We’ve seen the color wheel subject, complementary, primary and secondary colors, neutral and saturated grays, and I can’t remember what else. The thing is, we had theory! I LOVE theory, I can’t live without theory, I need a reference framework that tells me what to do… and I need to know the rules (so that I can brake them later :); the fact is that without theory my life would be miserable, as simple as that. Call me rigid, inflexible, or whatever you want (I can’t think of anything else to call me), but life for me is simpler with a recipe (if children came with a manual*, if the husband came with a manual, if so many things in life came with a manual…!)&lt;br /&gt;Well. I’ve been so happy these last few classes because we had theory, and then we practiced to see it at work. I’m so happy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*PD: en realidad al decir 'manual' me refiero a la teoría, porque los manuales tampoco los amo mucho que digamos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*PS: when I said 'manual' I was talking about theory, because I'm not so keen on manuals either.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1053446568438538133?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1053446568438538133/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1053446568438538133&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1053446568438538133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1053446568438538133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/10/amo-mi-profesora.html' title='Amo a mi profesora'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SsVa47J3QDI/AAAAAAAAASg/LNdBEeZOy-Y/s72-c/IMG_4147.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-6088270806227796309</id><published>2009-09-22T19:53:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T20:32:52.566-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clases de pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bodegón'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura al óleo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><title type='text'>Segundo óleo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrlxwNxevEI/AAAAAAAAASI/Maq1BVlstc0/s1600-h/Segundo+oleo+-+solitude.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384459902642994242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrlxwNxevEI/AAAAAAAAASI/Maq1BVlstc0/s320/Segundo+oleo+-+solitude.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Óleo sobre lienzo / Oil on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Ejercicio / painting practice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;15 x 15 cm / 6" x 6"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy bastante decepcionada con este óleo. Lo hice en mi clase de pintura, y no lo he firmado porque la profesora ha puesto tantas cosas que no me da la cara para ponerle mi nombre.&lt;br /&gt;En fin, era sólo un ejercicio, y me ha servido para practicar los medios tonos, que creo en algunas partes están bastante aceptables y en otras no tanto. Luego los brillos más grandes los puso la profa, y yo no estoy muy de acuerdo con ellos (el brillo del pie y del cuerpo del jarro), yo puse los brillos de los bordes, esos sí son totalmente de mi responsabilidad.&lt;br /&gt;La textura de la madera tampoco es mía, pero sí el fondo y todas las capas de pintura de la sombra, excepto por la última que también es de la profa :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno, me voy, a ventilar apasionadamente mi frustración por otra parte!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Second Oil&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really dissapointed with this oil. I made it in my painting clases, and I haven't signed it because the teacher has put so much stuff herself that I am embarrassed to put my name as if it were mine. Anyway, it was just an exercise, and it was good to practice the mid values, that I think are quite acceptable in some parts and not so much in others. Then, the stronger lights were put by the teacher, and I am not completely in agreement with them (those on the base and on the body of the jar), I put the lights on the upper borders, those are of my sole accountability.&lt;br /&gt;The wooden texture isn't mine either, but the background is as well as all the layers of paint in the cast shadow, except for the last one which is also the teacher's :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm gone, to passionately air my frustration somewhere else!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-6088270806227796309?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/6088270806227796309/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=6088270806227796309&amp;isPopup=true' title='24 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/6088270806227796309'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/6088270806227796309'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/09/segundo-oleo.html' title='Segundo óleo'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrlxwNxevEI/AAAAAAAAASI/Maq1BVlstc0/s72-c/Segundo+oleo+-+solitude.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3784230213595682116</id><published>2009-09-15T16:47:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T17:27:57.287-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clases de pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carboncillo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tinta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='charcoal'/><title type='text'>Dos dibujos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrAQv8DhpoI/AAAAAAAAASA/lGD2gjHvTqg/s1600-h/Otra+Tela.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381819970468554370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrAQv8DhpoI/AAAAAAAAASA/lGD2gjHvTqg/s320/Otra+Tela.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrAQvcBaVTI/AAAAAAAAAR4/BvV3eydtve4/s1600-h/Dibujo+bandeja.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 231px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381819961869751602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrAQvcBaVTI/AAAAAAAAAR4/BvV3eydtve4/s320/Dibujo+bandeja.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un par de dibujos que hice el mes pasado: el primero, parte de los estudios sobre telas que estuve haciendo en las nuevas clases de pintura. El segundo, parte de un pequeño grupo de dibujos que hice durante las vacaciones pasadas, con algo de la historia del momento. He descubierto ese singular placer de hacer un dibujo, y luego de firmarlo y ponerle la fecha (y hora exacta a veces), escribo algo de lo que lo inspiró o lo que estaba pasando mientras yo lo hacía. Tengo varios de este estilo pero en formato más pequeño en mis agendas... los hago mientras espero a que mis hijos terminen algunas de sus clases en las tardes, para aprovechar en practicar un poco, y no aburrirme... luego es lindo volverlos a ver, y compartirlos con alguien que se alegra de verlos...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Two Sketches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A couple of sketches that I made last month: the first, part of the fabrics/cloth studies that I had been doing in the new painting classes. The second, part of a small group of drawings that I did during the past school vacations, with some of the history of that moment. I have discovered this unique pleasure of sketching, signing and dating (sometimes adding the exact time too), and then writing something about what inspired me or what was happening while I was doing it. I have many sketches in this ‘style’ but in smaller format on my appointment books/diaries… I make them while I wait for my kids to finish their afternoon classes, to take advantage of the time and practice a bit, and not get bored… later it is nice to see them again, and share them with someone who feels happy to see them…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-3784230213595682116?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/3784230213595682116/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=3784230213595682116&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3784230213595682116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3784230213595682116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/09/dos-dibujos.html' title='Dos dibujos'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SrAQv8DhpoI/AAAAAAAAASA/lGD2gjHvTqg/s72-c/Otra+Tela.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-5169525975708871802</id><published>2009-09-01T16:40:00.011-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-01T17:39:42.605-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='party favors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fiesta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrílicos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrylic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sorpresas'/><title type='text'>En Camisa de Once Varas</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 260px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376620215929163458" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sp2XmY6kTsI/AAAAAAAAARo/WPGJgebqOV8/s320/Sorpresas+2009+003.jpg" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3333ff;"&gt;30 cm x 20 cm Acrílicos sobre lienzo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;12" x 8" Acrylic on canvas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Sí, me metí en camisa de once varas, como dice el dicho. Todos los años me pongo creativa para el cumpleaños de mi hija y hago algo yo misma para la fiesta: un par de veces he hecho la torta decorada (una vez hice una maqueta de tres pisos de las princesas y me salió muy bien, lástima que no encuentro la foto!), otro año hice bocaditos dulces, otro la decoración de la fiesta, y este año se me ocurrió hacer los recuerdos o "sorpresas" como les llamamos en el Perú. Y por supuesto, resultó mucho más difícil y trabajoso de lo que inicialmente se me había ocurrido :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La idea pasó por varias etapas (inicialmente sólo pensaba hacer una tarjeta de agradecimiento pintada a mano), pero luego llegué al lienzo pintado que muestro en las fotos de este post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En total hice 17, con el nombre de cada uno de los invitados. Usé cinta de enmascarar para separar el rectángulo central y las tres áreas del fondo, las letras las dibujé de una plantilla (no me tuve suficiente fé, pero sé que podría haberlas hecho totalmente a mano...), e hice plantillas con mis dibujos de mariposas y flores. Todo con pintura acrílica y envuelto en bolsas de celofán.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mi hija y a las niñas les gustaron mucho, y a sus padres también, así que puedo decir que fueron un éxito. ¡Buena recompensa para el esfuerzo de toda una semana de trabajo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 206px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376620221414191090" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sp2XmtWTL_I/AAAAAAAAARw/tHHTvYlXy1g/s320/Sorpresas+2009+002.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Getting myself into a mess&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*******************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Yes, I got myself into a mess... Every year I turn somewhat creative for my daughter’s birthday and make something for the party with my own hands: a couple of times I’ve made a decorated cake (I once made a three stories model/maquette/fake cake with the Princesses theme and it turned out pretty well, it’s a pity I can’t find the photos!), another year I made the sweet appetizers/canapés (or finger food, I’m not sure about what word to use here, but canapés is pretentious for what the results were :), another time I made the party decorations, and this year I decided to make the party favors (“surprises” as we call them in Peru). And of course, it turned out to be a lot more difficult and hard work than what I initially thought :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The idea went through various stages: I initially thought of only making a hand painted thank-you-card, but later it ended up in the hand painted canvas shown on the photos of this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I made 17 of them, with the name of every guest. I used masking tape to separate the central rectangle and the three areas of the background; I drew the letters with a stencil (I had not enough faith in myself on this part, but I know I could have written them completely without the stencil …), and I made templates out of my drawings of butterflies and flowers. Everything was made with acrylic paint and wrapped in cellophane bags.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My daughter and the girls liked them a lot, and so did their parents, so I can say they were a success. That’s a good rewarding for a whole week of hard work!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-5169525975708871802?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/5169525975708871802/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=5169525975708871802&amp;isPopup=true' title='18 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5169525975708871802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5169525975708871802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/09/camisa-de-once-varas.html' title='En Camisa de Once Varas'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sp2XmY6kTsI/AAAAAAAAARo/WPGJgebqOV8/s72-c/Sorpresas+2009+003.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-8572818036256291308</id><published>2009-08-17T20:20:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-17T23:56:13.926-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frasco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lucuma'/><title type='text'>Naturaleza Muerta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SooDsjGrtgI/AAAAAAAAARg/ZCFfSNDMvI8/s1600-h/Botella+y+lucuma+021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371109569465136642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SooDsjGrtgI/AAAAAAAAARg/ZCFfSNDMvI8/s320/Botella+y+lucuma+021.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Naturaleza Muerta / Still Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Lápices de Colores en papel acuarelable/ CPs on watercolor paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le dedico este post a mi prima Mitzi, a Keni y a Julio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En diversos blogs he visto que los artistas pintan lo que tienen en sus casas, cosas comunes y de todos los días. Otros, compran cosas que les gustan especialmente con el fin de pintarlas. Eso para mí fue todo un descubrimiento (es que... no soy muy consumista, creo que si existiera la reencarnación, debo de haber sido hippie en otra época. O quizás simplemente tacaña, y se me quedó :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno, la cosa es que me gustó mucho un frasco que vi en una tienda, y gracias a esta inspiración que menciono, terminé comprándolo. También tenía dónde ponerlo. Estuve buscando varias posibilidades para pintarlo, y quería además incluir una de las conchas que estuve pintando hace un tiempo (en el dibujo original se ve que la concha estuvo allí al principio, pero después me di cuenta que no funcionaba la composición).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y para terminar la composición, no encontraba algo que "me llenara el ojo". Finalmente se me ocurrió incluir unas pepas (semillas) de &lt;a href="http://surcuisine.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucuma.jpg"&gt;lúcuma &lt;/a&gt;que tengo guardadas por un par de años (quería saber si su lustre permanece o se deteriora con el tiempo: y permanece!). Estéticamente me encantan, y sabía que no iban a ser difíciles de pintar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por el contrario, el adorno verde del fondo sabía que me costaría, y dicho y hecho, creo que es lo menos logrado en esta pintura (por lo menos el borde). Quizás si hiciera caso a las cosas que leo y dejara reposar la pintura y con paciencia la corrigiera... pero no, a lo hecho pecho, se acabó, paso la hoja y a seguir adelante. Yo no pinto lo mismo dos veces, no leo el mismo libro dos veces, no veo la misma película dos veces (bueno, las de Disney sí, ni modo)... he dicho!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Mentira, eso era antes, ahora me he flexibilizado un poco, pero me provocó tanto poner eso :) Ay! me caigo tan bien cuando estoy de buen humor... qué bueno, porque hoy ha sido un día de esos: perrunos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PD: Perdón por las fotos. El formato es un poco grande para el scanner y no tuve más opción que tomar fotos (y parece que como fotógrafa me moriría de hambre...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still Life&lt;br /&gt;....................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen on a series of blogs that artists paint what they have at home, common and everyday stuff. Others, buy things they like with the special goal of painting them. That was a whole discovery to me (it’s just that… I’m not that into consuming; I think that if reincarnation existed, I must have been a hippie in some other time. Or maybe just cheap, and it stayed with me :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the thing is I liked a lot a jar I saw at the store, and thanks to this aforementioned inspiration, I ended up buying it. I also had where to put it. I was trying many possibilities to paint it, and I also wanted to include one of the seashells that I have been painting lately (in the original drawing the seashell can be seen at the beginning, but later I realized that it didn’t work in the composition).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to finish the composition, I didn’t find anything that pleased me. I finally thought of using a few &lt;a href="http://surcuisine.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucuma.jpg"&gt;lucuma &lt;/a&gt;seeds that I had stored for a couple of years (I wanted to know if they keep/loose luster with time: it stays!). I loved them aesthetically, and I knew they were not going to be difficult to paint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, I knew the green background decoration was going to be tough, and it was. I think it’s the worse part of the painting (or at least it’s edges). Maybe, if I’d follow the things I read and let the painting rest for a while and correct it patiently… but no, what’s done is done, it’s finished, new page and keep going. I don’t paint the same thing twice, I don’t read the same book twice, I don’t watch the same movie twice (well, except for Disney’s, whatever)… period!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*That’s not true, that was true before, now I’m somewhat more flexible, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to include that :) I like myself so much when I’m in a good mood… such a good thing after a not so happy day…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: I apologize for the photos. The painting’s size is a little too large for the scanner and I had no choice but to take pictures (and it seems that I would starve to death as a photographer…)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SooDNaj_0kI/AAAAAAAAARY/r-DA5OIx8hg/s1600-h/Botella+y+lucuma+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

No puedo creer que ya hayan pasado 10 días desde mi último post!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bueno, han pasado bastantes cosas en casa, los chicos estuvieron de vacaciones una semana más de lo planeado porque el gobierno lo decretó para evitar mayores contagios de la gripe AH1N1, así que la cosa estuvo movidita por acá con los dos enanos :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoy recomenzamos la rutina, pero con la diferencia de que voy ahora a otras clases de pintura. Las otras no estaban mal, pero sentía que le faltaba un poco de dinamismo. Acá tengo más dinamismo, vamos a ver cómo nos va.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La profesora revisó mis trabajos (los que he ido poniendo aquí más otro nuevo que todavía no termino), y le gustaron, me hizo un par de comentarios de los cuales ya tomé nota*, y me preguntó qué quería hacer. Y, además de las conchas marinas, me está interesando por el momento hacer telas, y pliegues y sombras, así que eso hice hoy. Las telas eran estampadas y tenían textura, así que me resultó bastante difícil observar con claridad las sombras y los contrastes. Fue un buen ejercicio. Aquí dejo el resultado de mi trabajo de hoy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;*Tengo la tendencia a pintar los fondos siguiendo el contorno de las formas del primer plano, y eso se nota, y no se ve bien. Me recomienda que el trazo de los fondos sea independiente de lo que tengo en el primer plano. Y luego, tengo que trabajar más los contrastes y valores de luz/sombra en mis pinturas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;New Painting Classes&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Times goes by so fast! I can’t believe that 10 days have already passed since my last post!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, many things have been going on at home, kids had one more week of vacation because the president decided it in order to avoid more AH1N1 swine flu contagions, so things were a little bit moved around here with the kids :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we restarted our routine, but the difference is that now I’m attending to new painting classes. The first ones were not bad, but I felt that I needed some more dynamism. Now I’ve got more of that, let’s see how it goes…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new teacher reviewed my works (the ones that I have been posting here, plus one new one in progress), and she liked them. She gave me a couple of comments which I have already taken note of* and asked me what I wanted to do. And, in addition to seashells, I’m feeling attracted for the moment to cloths and pleats and shadows, so that’s what I did today. The cloths had a print and were textured, so it was really difficult for me to clearly notice the shadows and contrasts. It was a good exercise. Here I’m including the results of today’s work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*I have a tendency to paint the backgrounds following the contour of the shapes in the foreground, and that can be noticed, and it doesn’t look good. She recommends me to avoid doing this, the background strokes can be independent from the foreground objects. And also, I have to work harder on contrasts and light/shadow values on my paintings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-8474554410954007327?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/8474554410954007327/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=8474554410954007327&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8474554410954007327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8474554410954007327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/08/nuevas-clases-de-pintura.html' title='Nuevas Clases de Pintura'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SoCHs1nE0JI/AAAAAAAAAQo/owj11fh9p_s/s72-c/Estudio+tela+02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-9197501287403916602</id><published>2009-08-01T18:25:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-01T19:10:49.733-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clases de pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura al óleo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caracol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shell'/><title type='text'>Mi primer óleo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SnTPRGu42FI/AAAAAAAAAQY/HhhF5nWLqxk/s1600-h/primer+oleo+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365140948877105234" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SnTPRGu42FI/AAAAAAAAAQY/HhhF5nWLqxk/s400/primer+oleo+2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt; Ejercicio con caracola de mar - Exercise with seashell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;óleo sobre lienzo, 30 cm x 30 cm - oil on canvas, appx. 12" x 12"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este es mi primer ejercicio de pintura con óleo. Según lo que he leído últimamente, lo hice "alla prima", es decir, de principio a fin sin parar, en una sola "sentada". En realidad lo comencé en la clase de pintura: allí hice el dibujo de las cosas que llevé, decidí, junto con la profesora, sobre los colores del fondo y del primer plano (me preocupaba qué colores usar, si ya estaba empleando complementarios en las figuras. - La respuesta para el fondo fue usar todos los colores usados en un degradado de luz, y para el primer plano blanco. Pero yo le puse un poquitín de color, porque blanco puro me parecía demasiado contraste).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego de terminar el dibujo, mi profesora me hizo pasar una especie de aguada de los colores que iba a usar después sobre cada zona correspondiente: aguarrás con un poco de óleo de cada color. La idea es que esta aguada cubra todo el lienzo, como para "curarlo".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al terminar la clase sólo tenía eso, puras "aguadas", y la siguiente clase tenía que ser el 4 de agosto (esta semana celebramos las fiestas Patrias y no hubo clases). Mi temperamento desesperadín no iba a poder resistir tanto tiempo sin ver algo terminado, así que en casa lo terminé al 99% (hoy acabo de firmarlo y de cubrir un poco de los blancos en el reflejo del frasco azul). Fue toda una experiencia, un trance total. Me pareció difícil, y decidí que podía y debía terminarlo ese mismo día, porque no iba a tener ningún tipo de ayuda y porque igual no iba a poder esperar hasta la siguiente clase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué tal, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my first painting exercise with oil paintings. As per what I have read recently, I did it “alla prima”, it is, non stop from beginning to end, in one and only “sitting”. I actually started it at painting class: there I did the drawing of the things I took there; I decided, together with the teacher, about the background and foreground colors (I was worried about what colors to use, because I was already using complementary colors on the figures. –The answer for the background was to use the same colors used in a value gradient, and for the foreground, white. But I added a little bit of color, because pure white seemed to me like too much contrast).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After finishing the drawing, the teacher told me to add a sort of gouache of the colors that I was going to use later, over every corresponding zone: turpentine with some oil of each color. The idea is that this gouache cover the whole canvas, so as to “cure” it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the class all I had done was that, only “gouaches”, and the next class was scheduled for Aug. 4 (this week we have celebrated Peru’s Hollidays and we had no classes). My frenzied/desperate spirit was not going to be able to resist that long without seeing it finished, so I finished 99% of it at home (today I just signed it and covered a little bit of white on the reflex of the blue jar). It was quite an experience, a total “trance”. It was difficult, and I decided that I could and should finish that same day, because I was not going to have any kind of help and because anyway I was not going to be able to wait until the next class!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about that? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-9197501287403916602?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/9197501287403916602/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=9197501287403916602&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9197501287403916602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9197501287403916602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/08/mi-primer-oleo.html' title='Mi primer óleo'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SnTPRGu42FI/AAAAAAAAAQY/HhhF5nWLqxk/s72-c/primer+oleo+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-902202963747160447</id><published>2009-07-21T16:26:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T16:54:00.465-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACEO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caracol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shell'/><title type='text'>Más caracoles en formato ACEO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SmYy0H_jifI/AAAAAAAAAQI/YQa9PCIlFe4/s1600-h/Concha+dorada+fondo+rojo.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 228px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361028277511358962" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SmYy0H_jifI/AAAAAAAAAQI/YQa9PCIlFe4/s320/Concha+dorada+fondo+rojo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Caracola dorada - Golden seashell &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SmYy0JkjaZI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/5OfXLzlNyXg/s1600-h/Caracola+en+blanco+y+negro+II.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 227px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361028277934975378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SmYy0JkjaZI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/5OfXLzlNyXg/s320/Caracola+en+blanco+y+negro+II.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Caracola en blanco y negro II - Black &amp;amp; White Seashell II&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Tarjetas/ACEO aprox. 6.4 cm x 9 cm (2.5" x 3.5")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Lápices de colores sobre papel lienzo - CPs on canvas paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me pregunto si alguien ya se dio cuenta de que las fotos de referencia las saqué de la Web... bueno, en todo caso son sólo dibujos por el placer (y la práctica) de hacerlos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me fascina el tema de las conchas marinas, y estoy descubriendo lo difíciles que son (para mí) dibujarlas, y más aún, pintarlas. La caracola en blanco y negro que pongo ahora, por ejemplo, la escogí porque pensé que sería fácil terminarla rápidamente, ¡CRASO ERROR!, es el caracol más difícil que he hecho hasta ahora, quizás también se deba a su posición en diagonal (ni frontal ni&lt;br /&gt;de perfil). Y conseguir algo que se parezca al dorado tampoco fue poca cosa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero como me suele pasar, estoy contenta con los resultados, no serán perfectos ni mucho menos, pero es todo lo que puedo dar (por lo menos, por ahora :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if by now anyone has noticed that the seashells reference photos come from the Internet… well, anyway these are only drawings for the pleasure of making them (and for the practice they involve)…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am fascinated with the seashells theme, and I am discovering how difficult they are as drawing, and especially, as painting subjects.  I chose the black &amp;amp; white shell included now, for example, because I thought it was going to be easy to finish quickly, BIG MISTAKE! It’s the most difficult seashell that I have done so far, maybe because of it’s ‘in diagonal’ position (not frontal, not side view).  And achieving something a little bit looking like gold wasn’t peanuts either. But as it usually happens to me, I’m happy with the results. They’re far away from perfect, but that’s all I can give (at least, for now :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-902202963747160447?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/902202963747160447/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=902202963747160447&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/902202963747160447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/902202963747160447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/07/mas-caracoles-en-formato-aceo.html' title='Más caracoles en formato ACEO'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SmYy0H_jifI/AAAAAAAAAQI/YQa9PCIlFe4/s72-c/Concha+dorada+fondo+rojo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-5989771002923241619</id><published>2009-07-16T23:51:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-17T00:46:51.255-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACEO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caracol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shell'/><title type='text'>Otro caracol en formato ACEO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SmAP8gYNW1I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Um-9ynaFhmU/s1600-h/03+Concha+fosilizada.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

But kids sincerity is something else: "who is this?", my niece says, "mmm, I don't know who this is", that's my daughter... it makes me laugh, and confirms why I'm not so into the human figure subject...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my beautiful son said "it all looks like you, it only needs to be painted".

Y dieron como resultado que tengo serios problemas con el tema de la perspectiva. Hice las preguntas de rigor, y algo se me aclaró el asunto, aunque no del todo. Estas clases son muy relajadas, son para ir y dejarse llevar, no son muy sistemáticas ni exigentes, pero sí son divertidas, y me permiten un buen par de horas de concentración absoluta en el tema y hacer muchas preguntas. La paso bien. Mi segundo tema a hacer es mi auto-retrato en carboncillo. Pienso publicarlo en uno de los próximos posts cuando lo termine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- What do you like to paint?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Well, I like doing many things, like still lives, plants…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Oh! Well then, here’s a still life for you, I want to see how you paint&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my effort during the following two hours yielded the above drawing. I also came to the conclusion that I have serious problems with perspective. I made the essential inquiries about the subject and it got somewhat clearer, but not completely.  These are very relaxed classes, the kind to attend to and enjoy, they’re not systematic or too demanding, but fun, and allow me a good couple of hours of absolute concentration in painting and to make a lot of questions. I have a great time.&lt;br /&gt;My second class subject is a self-portrait on pencil.  I’m planning to post it soon when I finish it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-2864599243521276223?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/2864599243521276223/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=2864599243521276223&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/2864599243521276223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/2864599243521276223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/07/mi-primera-clase-examen-de-entrada.html' title='Mi primera clase: Examen de entrada'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Slem7XGULkI/AAAAAAAAAPo/t8sEPYQVt9I/s72-c/Bodegon+Primera+Clase+de+Pintura.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-4785599670664456972</id><published>2009-07-06T10:50:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T11:13:04.527-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Drawings from Nature Blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACEO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caracol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Milly'/><title type='text'>¡Me he inscrito en clases de pintura!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SlIdVMUelrI/AAAAAAAAAPg/DI_xIiMuTsg/s1600-h/Concha+marina+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 228px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355375156818515634" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SlIdVMUelrI/AAAAAAAAAPg/DI_xIiMuTsg/s320/Concha+marina+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Caracol de mar  -  Sea snail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt; Tarjeta/ACEO  aprox. 6.4 cm x 9 cm (2.5" x 3.5")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Lápices de colores sobre papel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me he inscrito en clases de pintura y desde que lo he hecho he tenido un reforzamiento importante en mi auto-confianza, me siento más tranquila y más cómoda pintando, pinto más y lo disfruto como nunca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo curioso es que las clases recién comienzan mañana. De haber sabido que las clases me harían tanto bien, me hubiera matriculado hace mucho (aunque no hubiese tenido tiepo para ir, ¡já!)*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mientras tanto pongo este pequeño ACEO. Una conchita que pinté, esta vez no de una foto sino de un modelo natural, que tengo en casa. Es un pequeño reconocimiento al magnífico blog &lt;a href="http://drawingsfromnature-milly.blogspot.com/"&gt;Drawings from Nature&lt;/a&gt;, de &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/15701141335185294744"&gt;Milly&lt;/a&gt;, me encantan las cosas que ella hace, me recuerdan mis épocas universitarias...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;*&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Mañana veré si el sentimiento continua, o si me tengo que preocupar otra vez. (Y las clases serán de pintura al óleo, porque por estos lares los lápices de colores no están tan difundidos, todavía al menos). ¡¡¡Ya no puedo esperar!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have enrolled in painting classes, and since then I have felt an important reinforcement of my self-confidence, I feel calmer and more comfortable when painting, I paint more and I am enjoying as never before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, classes start tomorrow.  If I had known classes would do such good to me, I would have enrolled long ago (even if I had no time to attend, ha!)*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meanwhile, I’m posting this ACEO. A small shell I painted, this time not from a photo but from a natural model that I have at home. This is a little recognition to &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/15701141335185294744"&gt;Milly’s &lt;/a&gt;magnificent blog, &lt;a href="http://drawingsfromnature-milly.blogspot.com/"&gt;Drawings from Nature&lt;/a&gt;. I love the things that she does, they remind me of the old days at college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Tomorrow I’ll see if the feelings go on, or if I have to worry again. (And classes will be about oil painting, because around here, CPs are not well known, at least for now)  I just can’t wait!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-4785599670664456972?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/4785599670664456972/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=4785599670664456972&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/4785599670664456972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/4785599670664456972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/07/me-he-inscrito-en-clases-de-pintura.html' title='¡Me he inscrito en clases de pintura!'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SlIdVMUelrI/AAAAAAAAAPg/DI_xIiMuTsg/s72-c/Concha+marina+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-2545478799173556269</id><published>2009-07-04T12:46:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T14:38:14.953-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dibujo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tocador'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><title type='text'>Dibujo rápido</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sk-VgS2kOgI/AAAAAAAAAPY/gc4TnWRp-pg/s1600-h/Sketch+tocador+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354662864015866370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sk-VgS2kOgI/AAAAAAAAAPY/gc4TnWRp-pg/s320/Sketch+tocador+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Lápiz sobre papel, aprox. 13 cm x 17 cm (5.1" x 6.7") &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Este dibujo lo hice en mi sketchbook, rapidito.

Este puede ser algo cercano a ese deseo, aunque no es todo lo que tenía en mente.&lt;br /&gt;.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did this sketch on my sketchbook, a quicky.

Tenía ganas de terminar algo, nuevamente. He estado mucho tiempo sin pintar y ya me estaba desesperando. La foto de referencia la saqué de un encarte publicitario de un supermercado, pero el contenido de la copa era originalmente rojo. Lo cambié a verde porque pensé que iba a ser muy monótono todo de rojo. Me gustó la experiencia de pintar el vidrio, si consigo una buena foto de algo de vidrio, voy a volver a intentarlo pronto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estaba dejando el fonto en blanco, pero se veía "fatal", el rojo de las cerezas no tenía de dónde salir, se veía totalmente fuera de lugar. Así que, recordando algunas de las cosas que por algo he leído en tantos blogs que visito, le puse algo de rojo al fondo, y funciona mejor (¡en serio! ¡no se imaginan cómo estaba antes!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y la conclusión más importante que saco, es que, más difícil que pintar el vidrio, es pintar el contenido, con lápices de color. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;........&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I finished this ACEO in an hour, approximately. I needed to finish something, once again. It’s been too long since I painted for the last time and I was already feeling desperate to do it again. I took the reference photo from a supermarket flier, but the glass contents was originally red. I changed it to green because I thought it was going to be too monotonous at the end if everything was red. I liked the experience of painting glass, so if I get to find a good photo of something on glass, I’m going to try it again soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was going to leave the background white, but it looked terrible, the red on the cherries had nowhere to come out from, it looked completely out of place. So, remembering some of the things that I have read in one of the very many blogs that I visit, I added red to the it, and it works better (really! You can’t imagine how it was before!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the most important conclusion I get is that, it’s easier to paint glass, than to paint its liquid content, with cp’s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-446349607954453325?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/446349607954453325/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=446349607954453325&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/446349607954453325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/446349607954453325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/06/buena-compania-aceo.html' title='Buena Compañía ACEO'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SkhM7tZRDkI/AAAAAAAAAPM/EpgXF5rHoEw/s72-c/Buena+compania+2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-1211681343503397840</id><published>2009-06-22T21:21:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-22T22:20:37.891-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='different strokes from different folks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='verduras'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tomate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='veraniegas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karin Jurick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cebolla'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summer veggies'/><title type='text'>¡Vaya, qué reto!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SkA_K4OBg8I/AAAAAAAAAO0/WPn-aGE3RKU/s1600-h/11+Summer+Veggies.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 158px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350345813438596034" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SkA_K4OBg8I/AAAAAAAAAO0/WPn-aGE3RKU/s400/11+Summer+Veggies.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Verduras Veraniegas&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;Summer Veggies&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;aprox. 24 cm x 9.4 cm (9.4" x 3.7")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;lápices de colores fc sobre papel - fc colored pencil on paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Sí, vaya, qué reto.

Emocionalmente, pintar es agotador para mí.

I didn’t think it was going to be this difficult. So difficult I couldn’t reach Karin Jurick’s deadline and my painting is not shown on DSFDF (at the time of the deadline only the tomatoes part was ready). Oh, well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I wrote a draft of this post while waiting for the end of my daughter’s today’s ballet class (yes, the original post was ‘hand-made’, on a couple of pages of my agenda).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;While I was painting this piece, my emotions were swinging between excitement and deception: “how nice it’s turning out this time!”, “Oh, no! I ruined it!”, “No, it’s still OK, I like it”, “O my God! What did I do!?”, and so on. Painting is emotionally exhausting for me. But still I love to. After forgetting the last trauma, I get the excitement of painting, over and over again, and start once again with lots of faith on myself. What would be our fate without it…?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;...And I hope all fathers had a very nice Father's Day celebration last Sunday!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1211681343503397840?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1211681343503397840/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1211681343503397840&amp;isPopup=true' title='24 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1211681343503397840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1211681343503397840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/06/vaya-que-reto.html' title='¡Vaya, qué reto!'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SkA_K4OBg8I/AAAAAAAAAO0/WPn-aGE3RKU/s72-c/11+Summer+Veggies.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3130027535901701248</id><published>2009-06-11T10:20:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-11T11:56:51.224-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='willy gutierrez huby'/><title type='text'>Blog de mi tío Willy Gutiérrez</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SjE2STRx6SI/AAAAAAAAANU/oSkkre32vvY/s1600-h/Tio+Willy2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 315px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346113920705882402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SjE2STRx6SI/AAAAAAAAANU/oSkkre32vvY/s320/Tio+Willy2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Este es un post pequeñito. Sólo para decirles que mi querido tío Willy, hermano menor de mi madre, ya tiene un blog. Él es un gran, GRAN artista, sólo que se dedica a la arquitectura y no pinta tanto como, según yo, debería. Tiene un gran talento, y además domina muchas técnicas (a que lo admiro?). Aprendió con un grande, su tío &lt;a href="http://www.boletindenewyork.com/ArtistasPlasticos2.htm"&gt;José Gutiérrez de las Infantas&lt;/a&gt;* (a quien yo no tuve la suerte de conocer, digo, lo vi un par de veces cuando él era ya muy mayor--&gt;murió casi a los 100 años en 1997), y comenzó desde muy tierna edad (desde los 3 o 4 años ya mostraba sus habilidades).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Y yo, que me muero por pintar como él, no puedo creer que no se dedique más a esto. Así que trato de que lo haga, que comparta sus obras y que se dé a conocer. En esta &lt;a href="http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=156976"&gt;página &lt;/a&gt;pueden encontrar una historia interesante sobre su vida, y algunas fotos de sus obras. &lt;a href="http://willygutierrezsobrepinturasypinceles.blogspot.com/"&gt;Aquí&lt;/a&gt; está su blog. ¡No dejen de visitarlo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;*Fue profesor de la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Lima, y restaurador&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a short post. Just to let you know that my dear uncle Willy, my mother’s youngest brother, now has a blog! He is a great, GREAT artist, but he dedicates to architecture for a living and doesn’t paint as much as, from my point of view, he should. He is very talented, and he also dominates many techniques (do I admire him or what?) He learned with a great teacher, his uncle José Gutiérrez Infantas* (whom I had no luck to know, I mean, I saw him a couple of times when he was already very old--&gt;he dyed almost at 100 years old in 1997), and started since his early childhood (ever since he was 3 or 4 years old his abilities started to bloom).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And I, that am dying to paint like he does, can’t believe he can't devote more time to art. So I try that he does, that he shares his artwork and become known. An interesting history of his life can be found in &lt;a href="http://www.novica.com/artistdetail/index.cfm?faid=6835"&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;, as well as a few photos of his artwork. &lt;a href="http://willygutierrezsobrepinturasypinceles.blogspot.com/"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is his blog. Please stop by his blog and check his art!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;*He was professor at the Fine Arts School of Lima, and a restorer &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-3130027535901701248?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/3130027535901701248/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=3130027535901701248&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3130027535901701248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3130027535901701248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-de-mi-tio-willy-gutierrez.html' title='Blog de mi tío Willy Gutiérrez'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SjE2STRx6SI/AAAAAAAAANU/oSkkre32vvY/s72-c/Tio+Willy2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-3049160839930490025</id><published>2009-06-04T17:15:00.013-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T22:03:48.807-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anemone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anemona'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><title type='text'>Una Anémona Terminada</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiiI1tnLDvI/AAAAAAAAAM8/oagDtFcvb0g/s1600-h/03+Anemona+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343671414233435890" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiiI1tnLDvI/AAAAAAAAAM8/oagDtFcvb0g/s320/03+Anemona+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt; "Anémona"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt;aprox. 16 cm x 23 cm (6.4" x 9.2")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt;lápices de color Faber Castell en cartulina negra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;La terminé. He quedado contenta con el resultado final, claro que siempre puede estar mejor, pero estoy más que contenta de todas formas. Es el tipo de trabajo que me da más gusto hacer, por varias razones: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;(1) El tema. Para mí fue casi como pintar una planta, que me encanta (igual sospecho que no debe ser del agrado masivo, pues aunque las anémonas se pusieran de moda con "Buscando a Nemo", esta me ha salido más del tipo National Geographic que del tipo Hollywoodense. Es más, creo que al verla dirán: "qué bicho raro" :). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;(2) Luego, disfruté pintando sobre papel oscuro (no suelo hacerlo mucho, es más, es la primera vez que trabajo sobre negro). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;(3) Y la relación esfuerzo y tiempo vs resultado es de lo más reconfortante (sólo dos mañanas). Para mí eso es un récord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;De vez en cuando, entre reto y reto (me refiero a los retos personales autoimpuestos), vale la pena darse gustos como este (o como &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/05/acercate.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;éste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, de una sola tarde).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sih0wSjJF8I/AAAAAAAAAM0/SUt8kUV49WA/s1600-h/01+Anemona.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 146px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343649330836871106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sih0wSjJF8I/AAAAAAAAAM0/SUt8kUV49WA/s200/01+Anemona.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sih0v6qq12I/AAAAAAAAAMs/OorUVGKwXlc/s1600-h/02+Anemona.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 142px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343649324425992034" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sih0v6qq12I/AAAAAAAAAMs/OorUVGKwXlc/s200/02+Anemona.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sih0vqYntLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/Nml3kAw-7Fo/s1600-h/03+Anemona+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 146px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343649320055321778" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sih0vqYntLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/Nml3kAw-7Fo/s200/03+Anemona+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I’m done. I’m happy with the final result, of course it can always be better, but I’m more than happy anyway. This is the most pleasurable kind of piece for me, for many reasons: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;(1) The subject. It was almost like painting a plant, which I LOVE (but I suspect this subject might not be liked by many. Although anemones became ‘fashionable’ since we saw “Finding Nemo”, this one is more in a National Geographic’s style rather than in a Hollywood-like style. I even think many people will say “what a weird bug” :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;(2) In addition, I enjoyed painting over dark paper (something I’m not used to do, in fact, this is the first time I work on black paper). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;(3) And the ratio effort &amp;amp; time/result is very comforting (only two mornings). That, for me, is a record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Once in a while, between challenges (I’m referring to auto-imposed personal challenges), I find it’s worth it to indulge myself like this (or like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/05/acercate.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, which took me 1 afternoon).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-3049160839930490025?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/3049160839930490025/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=3049160839930490025&amp;isPopup=true' title='18 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3049160839930490025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/3049160839930490025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/06/una-anemona-terminada.html' title='Una Anémona Terminada'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiiI1tnLDvI/AAAAAAAAAM8/oagDtFcvb0g/s72-c/03+Anemona+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-8081051117031385626</id><published>2009-06-02T22:28:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:11:36.666-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trabajo en progreso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anemone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leslie&apos;s Art Blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WIP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anemona'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><title type='text'>Una Anémona en Progreso</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiXuGeihjjI/AAAAAAAAALQ/Mm3MBsyyENo/s1600-h/01+Anemona.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342938327989456434" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiXuGeihjjI/AAAAAAAAALQ/Mm3MBsyyENo/s320/01+Anemona.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Hoy voy a hacer algo demasiado osado para mi gusto, y que ya he hecho anteriormente: Poner un trabajo en progreso. Ya sé la tensión que esto significa, el incremento de presión a mí misma porque ahora la pintura DEBE salir bien. Pero el último post es un poco aburrido, así que mejor pongo algo más creativo.&lt;br /&gt;Me inspiré a hacer esta animalito al leerle un libro a mi hija antes de dormir (la enciclopedia de Winnie Pooh sobre animales marinos). Las fotos son lindas. De allí salió justamente mi modelito.&lt;br /&gt;Otra parte de mi inspiración salió del blog &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lesliehawes.com/art/?p=163"&gt;Leslie's Art Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Cuando vi su dibujo quedé fas-ci-na-da y me dije a mí misma que tendría que intentar algo en ese estilo algún día. Ahora lo estoy haciendo, espero quedar contenta con los resultados. Ya veremos... (ahora es cuando cierro mis ojos y presiono "publicar")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I’m going to do something too daring as per my philosophy. Something that I have already done: post a work in progress. I know about the tension this means, the raise in self-inflicted pressure because the painting MUST now turn out well.&lt;br /&gt;But my last post is a little bit boring, so I’d better post something a bit more creative. My inspiration to paint this creature came from reading a bed time book to my daughter (Winnie Pooh’s encyclopedia of marine animals). Photos are cute. That’s where I got my little model.&lt;br /&gt;Another part of my inspiration came from &lt;a href="http://www.lesliehawes.com/art/?p=163"&gt;Leslie’s Art Blog&lt;/a&gt;. When I saw her drawing I was fascinated and told myself that someday I ‘d have to try something on that style. Now I’m on that, I hope at the end I’ll be happy with the outcome. We’ll see… (now is when I close my eyes and click on "publish post")&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-8081051117031385626?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/8081051117031385626/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=8081051117031385626&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8081051117031385626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8081051117031385626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/06/una-anemona-en-progreso.html' title='Una Anémona en Progreso'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiXuGeihjjI/AAAAAAAAALQ/Mm3MBsyyENo/s72-c/01+Anemona.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-5486462411112073318</id><published>2009-05-29T14:11:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:12:34.558-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='willy gutierrez huby'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='feria'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><title type='text'>Quiero contarles</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiA0BIWlKFI/AAAAAAAAALI/Gcil918otoA/s1600-h/Pulpos+Semana+Santa+2009+028.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341326352088115282" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiA0BIWlKFI/AAAAAAAAALI/Gcil918otoA/s320/Pulpos+Semana+Santa+2009+028.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Esta foto es de la mesa que tuve en una pequeña feria de un día por el pasado día de la Madre. No estaba segura si compartirla o no, pero finalmente decidí que sí. En esta feria (primera vez que participo en una con solo pinturas, no es que participe en muchas ferias, tampoco, pero he participado una vez antes con dulces) estuve presentando principalmente pequeñas pinturas hechas por mi tío, &lt;a href="http://www.novica.com/artistdetail/index.cfm?faid=6835"&gt;Willy Gutiérrez Huby&lt;/a&gt;, y por allí aproveché y coloqué una mía ("&lt;a href="http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/05/acercate.html"&gt;Acércate&lt;/a&gt;"). Estaba muy emocionada porque iba a participar, realmente no tenía muchas expectativas de ventas (y realmente no se vendió nada, en realidad esperaba vender una), pero quería recibir el "feeling" de la gente.&lt;br /&gt;Este contacto con "el público" me enseñó algunas cosas:&lt;br /&gt;- las ferias de regalos no son el mejor lugar para vender este tipo de cosas (al menos en Lima)&lt;br /&gt;- poca gente aprecia el arte (al menos en este tipo de eventos)&lt;br /&gt;- a los que les gusta el arte son pocos pero se interesan mucho, son muy curiosos, aunque no preguntan tanto, sino más bien se sienten asombrados y observan&lt;br /&gt;Una experiencia divertida (la pasé bien mientras pasaban las horas) que me enseñó a elegir mejor para la próxima vez...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;English version (first time, I hope it's OK!) for my English speaking&lt;br /&gt;friends :)&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the photo of the stand I had during a small one-day fair for the past Mother’s Day. I wasn’t sure whether to share it or not, but I finally decided to go for it. In this fair (first time I participate in one with paintings only –it doesn’t mean that I do a lot of fairs either, but I have participated once before, with chocolates) I presented mainly small paintings made by my uncle, &lt;a href="http://www.novica.com/artistdetail/index.cfm?faid=6835"&gt;Willy Gutiérrez Huby&lt;/a&gt;, and I also put one of mine (“&lt;a href="http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/05/acercate.html"&gt;Acércate - Get Closer&lt;/a&gt;”). I was very excited because I was going to participate, although I really didn’t have high sale expectations (and I really didn’t sell anything! I was expecting to sell just one…), but I rather was interested on people’s reactions.&lt;br /&gt;The contact with the “public” taught me a couple of things:&lt;br /&gt;-gift fairs are not the best place to sell this kind of stuff (at least in Lima)&lt;br /&gt;-few people appreciates art (at least in this kind of event)&lt;br /&gt;-those who like art are few but are VERY interested, are very curious, although not really asking a lot of questions, but feeling amazed and concentrating on observing.&lt;br /&gt;A fun experience (I had a nice time as hours went by) that taught me to chose better next time…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-5486462411112073318?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/5486462411112073318/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=5486462411112073318&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5486462411112073318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5486462411112073318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/05/quiero-contarles.html' title='Quiero contarles'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SiA0BIWlKFI/AAAAAAAAALI/Gcil918otoA/s72-c/Pulpos+Semana+Santa+2009+028.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-276834643086809774</id><published>2009-05-20T20:17:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:12:49.310-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='original'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karin Jurick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='different strokes from different folks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alto'/><title type='text'>¡Alto!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs87tZ9LI/AAAAAAAAAK8/BW59wexZUgQ/s1600-h/Nycity+for+DSFDF.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 230px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338081621161145522" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs87tZ9LI/AAAAAAAAAK8/BW59wexZUgQ/s400/Nycity+for+DSFDF.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt; ¡Alto!

Es mi versión para el reto que terminó hoy, valga la redundancia, en el blog &lt;a href="http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/"&gt;DSFDF.&lt;/a&gt; Lo comencé la semana pasada y le he dedicado varias, pero varias, horas, tanto al dibujo como a la pintura (bueno, también perdí bastante tiempo "procrastinating"*). Karin Jurick dijo en su post sobre esta foto que iba a ser un reto también para decidir qué partes considerar y qué partes no definir tanto. Pues yo entendí a la perfección, pero resulta que soy más teórica que práctica, ya que no apliqué nada de lo que entendí. Más avanzaba y más me sentía perdida en un mar de detalles (salvavidas, por favor!!!!). ¿Por qué no puedo ser consecuente con lo que ya sé que tengo que hacer? Simplemente porque no tengo técnica. ¿Qué espero para tomar clases? Pues hasta agosto, porque el turno de las mañanas hasta julio está copado, y en las tardes no puedo pues. Es que tengo que acomodar mis necesidades a las horas que queden disponibles en el horario de mis hijos. No me quejo, es que es así. Las mañanas son todas mías...&lt;br /&gt;Y espero que este dibujo pueda aparecer en DSFDF esta vez, porque lo he enviado con las justas, y no me dí cuenta que allá tienen una hora de adelanto por el horario de verano... me quedará de lección sino.&lt;br /&gt;Y ahora, redoble de tambores, el inefable placer de mostrar "los pasos previos":)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs13vZpTI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Un9SF_SV24o/s1600-h/3+nycity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 112px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338081499836687666" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs13vZpTI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Un9SF_SV24o/s200/3+nycity.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs147AJqI/AAAAAAAAAKs/xVtU-JqTIwE/s1600-h/5+nycity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 125px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338081500153783970" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs147AJqI/AAAAAAAAAKs/xVtU-JqTIwE/s200/5+nycity.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs1aTcQhI/AAAAAAAAAKk/xdgvlJdbzD4/s1600-h/6+nycity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 119px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338081491934790162" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs1aTcQhI/AAAAAAAAAKk/xdgvlJdbzD4/s200/6+nycity.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs1Ik9SNI/AAAAAAAAAKc/ehh4ZWgVpEo/s1600-h/7+nycity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 112px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338081487176419538" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs1Ik9SNI/AAAAAAAAAKc/ehh4ZWgVpEo/s200/7+nycity.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs0xVMLbI/AAAAAAAAAKU/uqOUDuqzGXc/s1600-h/9+nycity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 115px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338081480936271282" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ShSs0xVMLbI/AAAAAAAAAKU/uqOUDuqzGXc/s200/9+nycity.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Me he dado cuenta de que en los posts de varios blogs y newsletters de arte que sigo (sí, soy adicta al ciberespacio, a poca honra) se habla del 'procrastinating', perder tiempo, en este caso en Internet, en vez de pintar o hacer lo que se debe hacer.

Sí, me acabo de reunir con &lt;a href="http://mujersalvajenlima.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mujer Salvaje en Lima &lt;/a&gt;para hablar de todo. Conoció mi rinconcito donde hago mis dibujos, conoció mis famosos "colores-Faber-Castell-polychromos-que-me-regaló-mi-esposo-en-Navidad" de los que tanto hablo, (aunque no pudo conocer los Karat Aquarell, porque no los encontré, qué nivel) y vio las cosas en las que estoy trabajando ahora. Qué lindo es compartir lo que a uno le gusta con la gente que uno quiere.&lt;br /&gt;Así como este tomate de la foto. Está hasta enmarcado (qué honor), en la casa de mi amiga Sandra. Para más orgullo de mi parte, ella lo tiene en el comedor de su casa, lo cual no hace más que alimentar mi ego hasta la estratósfera y por lo cual le estoy muy agradecida :)&lt;br /&gt;Este tomate lo hice el año pasado, siguiendo las instrucciones del libro de &lt;a href="http://www.arlenesteinberg.com/MasterfulColorPage.htm"&gt;Arlene Steinberg, &lt;em&gt;Masterful Color&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. No sé por qué no hago más pinturas siguiendo esta técnica, realmente los resultados son asombrosos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-9213819124110490324?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/9213819124110490324/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=9213819124110490324&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9213819124110490324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/9213819124110490324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/05/el-tomate-de-arlene-steinberg.html' title='El tomate de Arlene Steinberg'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SgzusXO24cI/AAAAAAAAAKM/RczK-meplLU/s72-c/Tomate.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-7848717929440182920</id><published>2009-05-09T12:25:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T12:52:03.667-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peluche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='imaginarium'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='juguetes'/><title type='text'>Serie para niños, cuarta entrega, con acuarela</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SgW8uQWR_uI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/AOoUTeP1NvE/s1600-h/Serie+para+ninos4+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333876836538646242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SgW8uQWR_uI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/AOoUTeP1NvE/s320/Serie+para+ninos4+001.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;aprox 15.5 cm x 17 cm (6.2" x 6.8")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;sobre cartulina, acuarelas y lápices de colores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Otra pequeña pintura dedicada a los chicos. Esta vez quise seguir practicando con las acuarelas como base de color de fondo. Encima apliqué los lápices de colores para colocar algunas sombras. La foto la saqué del catálogo de &lt;a href="http://www.imaginarium.ie/Cuddly_toys_and_dolls/ecommerce_4/mostrarPagina/3/18/"&gt;imaginarium &lt;/a&gt;hace bastante tiempo, pero hoy no la encontré.&lt;br /&gt;Ahora estoy trabajando en otra flor, que no estoy segura de cómo saldrá, pues para variar, al ver la foto que me gustó me pareció relativamente fácil de hacer, y cuando la comencé recién me di cuenta de mi falta de habilidad para evaluar qué tan difícil sería (me salió como trabalenguas). Bueno, ya veremos... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Y... ¡Felíz día de la Madre a todas!

Así que me puse a buscar fotos que reprodujeran este efecto, y en Flikr encontré &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chun/8966849/"&gt;esta foto&lt;/a&gt;, de &lt;a href="http://www.minianna.com/"&gt;Mini Anna&lt;/a&gt;, quien muy gentilmente me dio permiso para pintarla (thanks Anna!).&lt;br /&gt;Usé acuarelas para el fondo (me encanta el efecto), y en este caso cambié el tono por un rojo que ayude a resaltar más el verde central de la flor. Hubiera podido usar azul también, que hubiera resaltado los estambres amarillo-naranja (por el tema de los &lt;a href="http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/01/un-poquito-de-teora-del-color.html"&gt;colores complementarios&lt;/a&gt;). Para la próxima vez será.&lt;br /&gt;Estoy muy feliz con el resultado, muy contenta con todo el proceso, pues comencé a trabajarla hoy (sábado en la tarde), y hoy la terminé (sábado en la noche)*: es un tema botánico, usé dos medios, usé una foto hermosa, y fue todo un reto. Estoy muuuuy satisfecha y feliz...&lt;br /&gt;Y ya me voy, pero sólo por el incomprensible placer que me da el hacerlo, dejo las fotitos de los pasos previos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Sf0j1WyJ8YI/AAAAAAAAAJs/vO-EWq8bl7Y/s1600-h/01+white+lily.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 200px;

Para los que no hemos estudiado dibujo todavía, usar la técnica de la cuadrícula es de gran ayuda.&lt;br /&gt;Usé varios tonos de gris para la estatua y cuatro tonos de rojos para el fondo, incluyendo para las zonas más oscuras ese rojo de curioso nombre, por decir lo menos: 'caput mortuum violet'.&lt;br /&gt;Aquí dejo una secuencia de cómo fui haciendo el dibujo (y si no lo creen, tengo más pasos intermedios, pero creo que con los que están ya es más que suficiente :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wn6Bh6CI/AAAAAAAAAHg/4_fyBd0Tu7M/s1600-h/2+Diana+DSFDF.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 162px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327319240118757410" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wn6Bh6CI/AAAAAAAAAHg/4_fyBd0Tu7M/s200/2+Diana+DSFDF.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wDZ-Sx7I/AAAAAAAAAHY/BqtuDyWNljk/s1600-h/9+Diana+DSFD.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 167px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327319244103538002" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5woI3k1VI/AAAAAAAAAHo/FfVC8A_x2EY/s200/3+Diana+DSFDF.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wocEX_sI/AAAAAAAAAHw/lV7kQXi2-As/s1600-h/5+Diana+DSFD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 158px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327319249257496258" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wocEX_sI/AAAAAAAAAHw/lV7kQXi2-As/s200/5+Diana+DSFD.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wouV1iWI/AAAAAAAAAH4/hbvBTee31qw/s1600-h/6+Diana+DSFD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 162px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327319254162573666" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wouV1iWI/AAAAAAAAAH4/hbvBTee31qw/s200/6+Diana+DSFD.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wosh2-6I/AAAAAAAAAIA/QckcIGxgD70/s1600-h/Diana+for+DSFD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 152px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327319253676129186" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/Se5wosh2-6I/AAAAAAAAAIA/QckcIGxgD70/s200/Diana+for+DSFD.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Las dos últimas fotos corresponden al dibujo terminado antes y después de la aplicación del spray final de protección.

Nos fuimos a la playa. Es decir, con dos familias de amigos alquilamos una casa en la playa, pero a la playa fuimos sólo media hora de los cuatro días que estuvimos allí (no estaba a cuadra y media como se suponía), y como todos sabemos, la marea estaba muy movida como para llevar a los chicos. Así que nos quedamos en la casa. Los chicos se divirtieron mucho realmente, por lo cual estoy feliz, pero mi esposo y yo terminamos muy cansados (como era de esperarse).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sin embargo, en un momentito que tuve libre, entre las sesiones de cocina, lavada de platos, tendida de camas, atención de los niños, hacerla de niñera, etc., etc., logré hacer el pequeño dibujo que aquí muestro. Mi cerebro y mi alma estuvieron realmente de vacaciones mientras lo hice... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-8906517673479329072?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/8906517673479329072/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=8906517673479329072&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8906517673479329072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/8906517673479329072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/04/semana-santa.html' title='Semana Santa'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SeUkFKgBNBI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/M-YLIW78_iM/s72-c/Dibujo+a+lapiz+vaso+sobre+mesa+casa+Pulpos+abr+09+retocado.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-1830750160904412124</id><published>2009-04-13T16:48:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:14:31.400-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karat Aquarell de Staedtler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='allposters.com'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mango'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reproducción reproduction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staedtler karat aquarell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staedtler'/><title type='text'>Malas Costumbres IV</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SeO0BLgUslI/AAAAAAAAAHI/OqNM_zPhcSw/s1600-h/Mango.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 284px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324297116843291218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SeO0BLgUslI/AAAAAAAAAHI/OqNM_zPhcSw/s400/Mango.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Reproducción "Mango"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;29.5 cm x 21 cm (11.8" x 8.4")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Colores acuarelables Staedtler en papel blanco 80g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y finalmente (redoble de tambores)... el último dibujo que tenía guardado...

Casi no lo logro pues recién tuve tiempo de sentarme a hacer algo ayer y este reto termina hoy miércoles. Y para decidir qué porción de la foto elegir me tomé mi tiempo, revisé lo que habían hecho los demás, y tuve que cambiar de opción varias veces pues se me ocurrían cosas que ya estaban hechas (como hacer un acercamiento de la playa justo por detrás de la mujer en bikini, y ponerla a ella en primer plano). &lt;/p&gt;Aquí está la parte de la foto que elegí (dentro del rectángulo fucsia):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SdMByxkOF9I/AAAAAAAAAG4/Q9IWO2OGuOE/s1600-h/beachfamily+fuente.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 307px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319597556665030610" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SdMByxkOF9I/AAAAAAAAAG4/Q9IWO2OGuOE/s400/beachfamily+fuente.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Y decidí hacerlo con pasteles, pues si me ponía a pintar con lápices de colores tanto cielo y tanto mar, iba a terminar el día de san blando (se nota que es mi primera vez con los pasteles???). Es más, mejor se lo voy mandando a Karin de una vez...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-7743362951859826023?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/7743362951859826023/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=7743362951859826023&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/7743362951859826023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/7743362951859826023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/04/en-la-playa.html' title='En la playa'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SdL-RSUTw7I/AAAAAAAAAGg/OVZgc1tGeqs/s72-c/At+the+beach2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-2021953546637467297</id><published>2009-03-26T15:38:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T15:44:52.027-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karat Aquarell de Staedtler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reproducción reproduction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staedtler karat aquarell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staedtler'/><title type='text'>Malas Costumbres II</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ScvoB6GuaEI/AAAAAAAAAGY/sLm0OCMTrAM/s1600-h/Flores+lilas+y+toalla.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 270px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317598904515979330" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/ScvoB6GuaEI/AAAAAAAAAGY/sLm0OCMTrAM/s320/Flores+lilas+y+toalla.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Reproducción&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt;aprox. 21 cm x 30 (8.4" x 12")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt;lápices de colores acuarelables Karat Aquarell de Staedtler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Este dibujo tiene una historia muy parecida a la del post anterior.

Y la verdad, con tanta cosa que seguimos haciendo en la casa, aún no tengo sitio para hacer mis cosas, aún seguimos que si con la pintura, el diseño de los closets, y esas cosas, no tengo tiempo de pintar nada nuevo. Y este blogcito necesita apoyo para seguir vivo. Por allí, en uno de los posts del blog &lt;a href="http://makingamark.blogspot.com/"&gt;"Making a Mark" de Katherine Tyrrell&lt;/a&gt;, leí que la edad crítica de los blogs son los tres meses, que la mayoría de los fracasos ocurren antes de cumplir esa edad, por falta de entusiasmo, de mantener regularidad en los posteos (ver el cuarto punto o bullet del "blogroll policy" &lt;a href="http://makingamark.blogspot.com/2006/10/blogroll-policy-and-organisation-of.html"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt;).

Le tenía un poco de miedo por las expectativas (poquitas pero había), y aunque no la he terminado todavía, siento que he superado la parte más difícil. Ya sólo me falta el piso del interior, la cosa azul de arriba a la izquierda (qué es??), la pared de afuera, y quizás algún retoque (como aumentar las sombras).&lt;/p&gt;He cambiado un poco los colores, en la foto original todo está en distintos tonos de marrón, pero se puede diferenciar cada cosa fácilmente gracias a las texturas y la buena definición de los objetos visualmente. Yo todavía no sé muy bien cómo manejar las distintas texturas, así que he acudido al color para que me ayude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SYfaNqAZX1I/AAAAAAAAAFw/ruChjimTjZw/s1600-h/La+Toba+4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 232px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298443414773784402" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SYfaNqAZX1I/AAAAAAAAAFw/ruChjimTjZw/s320/La+Toba+4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1597772901580967845?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1597772901580967845/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1597772901580967845&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1597772901580967845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1597772901580967845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/02/lo-peor-ya-paso.html' title='Lo peor ya pasó...'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SYfaNqAZX1I/AAAAAAAAAFw/ruChjimTjZw/s72-c/La+Toba+4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-1065048132162661702</id><published>2009-02-01T17:05:00.011-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:17:40.686-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='victorian house'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='casa victoriana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karin Jurick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='different strokes from different folks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><title type='text'>Finalmente, la casa</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SYYeWPBSgmI/AAAAAAAAAFo/zvnvNnn-sGY/s1600-h/4Victorian+house.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 284px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297955378985861730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SYYeWPBSgmI/AAAAAAAAAFo/zvnvNnn-sGY/s400/4Victorian+house.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"&gt;aprox 15 x 21 cm (6" x 8")&lt;br /&gt;lápices de colores polychromos FC&lt;br /&gt;papel blanco 80g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Finalmente terminé el dibujo para &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Different Strokes From Different Folks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.

Ya no vamos a tener problemas con la continuidad del servicio de agua (Dios mediante), pero faltan algunas cosas, y los acabados finales (al terminar vamos a tener que hacer muuuchos arreglos todavía). La casa está de cabeza. Y yo me contagié una gripe de las que no tenía en varios años. Me jactaba siempre de tener una salud envidiable, pero esta vez parece que mis defensas no han sido las mejores. Es mi segundo día consecutivo con fiebre todo el día (se me va cuando tomo el antigripal, pero luego vuelve y tengo que tomarlo de nuevo), pero hoy la fiebre no subió tanto, no pasó de los 38ºC y el cuerpo no me dolió tanto. Y mi lindo esposito tuvo la enorme amabilidad de conectar el cable de red para tener internet en este otro cuarto a donde hemos tenido que mudar la compu porque con los arreglos el cuarto original está lleno de huecos en la pared y de polvo de ladrillo (bueno, más lleno que el resto de la casa). Así que, puedo regresar a mis posteos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Hoy voy a tener que interrumpir la pintura que presenté en mi último post porque quiero volver a participar en el blog &lt;a href="http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/"&gt;Different Strokes from Different Folks &lt;/a&gt;y se me acaba el tiempo para el desafío de esta semana. Así van mis avances, y me falta tan poquito (el cielo, la vereda, y revisar las sombras de los árboles). Espero terminarlo mañana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Dejo mis avances...

Cuanto más claro el valor tiende a blanco, cuanto más oscuro tiende a negro, y en el medio están todos los valores de un determinado color. OK. Para qué sirve esto. Sirve para poder plantear bien una pintura. A mí me pasa mucho que a veces una zona del trabajo me sale más o menos bien, digamos, y luego trabajo en otra, y tampoco sale tan mal, luego cuando miras todo junto, ambas partes parecen de cuadros distintos, porque una parece que estuviera con luz de media tarde y la otra iluminada con una lámpara intensa. En el modelo real existen sombras más oscuras que el resto, luego sombras oscuras también pero no tanto, y van bajando en intensidad. Y se puede decir lo mismo de las luces. Hay zonas en que cae la luz directa, otras que reciben bastante luz, pero no tan fuerte, y así van bajando los valores, se van haciendo más oscuros. Esto tiene que ser consistente en todo el cuadro para que formen algo creíble para el ojo, y generen la ilusión adecuada de tridimensionalidad que se busca en la pintura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pintar un cuadro comenzando primero por las sombras, poniéndolas de base y luego aplicar los colores, se llama 'grisaille'. Es como pintar primero en blanco y negro. Si esto te sale bien en términos de sombras y luces, la pintura en general lo reflejará.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y no es muy fácil de dominar, no es fácil mantener la consistencia en toda la pintura, cansa si no tienes experiencia (estoy contando todo lo que me pasa a mí), da ganas de dejarlo 'así no más'. Por eso recomiendan hacer los ejercicios de escalas&lt;img class="gl_photo" border="0" alt="Añadir imagen" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" /&gt; de valor de diferentes colores para poder dominar, o por lo menos tener este tema un poco más bajo control al momento de pintar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí dejo una muestra de mis esfuerzos. No es nada fácil conseguir tantos valores en la escala, sobre todo los intermedios. Hay que trabajar con distintos tipos de presión, de saturación del papel, varias capas de color. Prácticamente hay que dominar la técnica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXfvpObojmI/AAAAAAAAAEI/8tZsN_TLqio/s1600-h/ValueScalesYellowFullSaturation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 207px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293963378524982882" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXfvpObojmI/AAAAAAAAAEI/8tZsN_TLqio/s320/ValueScalesYellowFullSaturation.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En las cuatro primeras líneas hice escalas de valor sólo con negro y blanco. Creo que la que salió mejor fue la segunda línea, en las otras, sobre todo en la primera, los colores intermedios son muy semejantes, no existe casi diferencia entre los distintos valores de sombras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En las siguientes tres líneas hice escalas de valor para el amarillo. La única manera de saber si está bien o no es ver la escala en versión 'blanco y negro' usando algún programa, que puede ser simplemente el Paint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXfxK3p1xhI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/g9HzbwwEeKM/s1600-h/ValueScalesYellowIinGreyScaleFullSaturation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 254px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 185px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293965056037733906" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXfxK3p1xhI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/g9HzbwwEeKM/s320/ValueScalesYellowIinGreyScaleFullSaturation.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Allí se ve si realmente los colores intermedios tienen valores significativamente distintos para la vista, o si las sombras generadas se confunden entre sí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí se ve, a mi parecer, que la primera línea de las escalas en blanco y negro no está bien, pero las otras pasan más o menos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las escalas de amarillos tampoco pasaron la prueba del blanco y negro a pesar de que en la versión a color no se veían tan mal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si hacer esto en unos cuadraditos es difícil, ¡¡imagínense lo difícil que será aplicarlo a una pintura!! Por eso admiro tanto a los que dominan este tipo de cosas.

En esa época estaba pintando un par de, llamémoslos, reproducciones. Es decir, había buscado fotos de pinturas en la red y me había decidido a pintarlas lo más parecidas posible. Y eso me tomaba muuuuuucho tiempo. Literalmente meses. Y eso era (es) muy frustrante, porque uno desea terminar cada pieza, el resultado final es, en mi caso, lo más esperado, poder apreciar lo que mis manos han sido capaces de hacer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Entonces, en un acto de desesperación, decidí que iba a pintar algo y a terminarlo esa misma tarde, porque ya estaba harta de no terminar nada, y agarré dos manzanas que tenía mi mamá en el frutero de la cocina, las puse en la mesa del comedor, y las dibujé. Luego las pinté, me imaginé cómo serían las hojas (la pintura que esta 'reproduciendo'-copiando- en casa en ese momento me había hecho practicar bastante el tema de las hojas), el fondo, el mantel, y hasta le puse un trozo de manzana por delante, para completar la composición. Incluso el marco de la pintura lo hice siguiendo el estilo de las pinturas que estaba copiando: la pintura no llega a los bordes del papel, sino que se crea un recuadro interno que sirve de margen, del cual se permite salir a algunas piezas de la pintura, para darle cierto interés. Y así, en un arranque desbocado, terminé la imagen que presento hoy. Mi primer original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disfruté enormemente el hacer esta pintura, porque no tenía que ser fiel a un original, estaba copiando del natural y podía tomarme algunas licencias, lo importante no era el hiperrealismo, sino que la pintura final estuviera bien, simplemente. Sentí libertad. Fue maravilloso.&lt;br /&gt;En esa época no tenía todavía mis amados polychromos, sólo tenía mi set de 24 colores acuarelables Karat Aquarell de Staedtler, que no sé si serían profesionales. Fueron un regalo navideño de mis padres de la época en que estaba en la universidad. Amaba esos colores, me acompañaron toda la carrera, y los usaba para colorear los dibujos de la guía de prácticas del curso de botánica (mi hermosa guía de prácticas, jamás nos las devolvieron, y para qué, terminar en el reciclador en el mejor de los casos...). Aún los conservo, les tengo un cariño especial...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Con esos colores podía darme el lujo de poner los brillos blancos encima de la pintura terminada, pues lo hacía con la punta mojada. En la técnica normal con lápices de colores los espacios brillantes se deben dejar en blanco desde el inicio. El blanco no se puede aplicar encima de otras capas de color, como en el caso de la pintura al óleo o con acrílicos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Como yo no sabía nada de eso, me las ingenié. El resultado no es tan pulcro, pero de lejos no se ve tan mal, creo :) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-5201689940512016536?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/5201689940512016536/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=5201689940512016536&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5201689940512016536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/5201689940512016536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/01/bodegn-de-manzanas-desesperadas.html' title='Bodegón de manzanas desesperadas'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXapnHY-ypI/AAAAAAAAADw/H12Sx6wSGhs/s72-c/Mis+manzanas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-1336988071695374415</id><published>2009-01-19T23:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-19T23:44:00.595-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Arlene Steinberg'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='teoría del color'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='color wheel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scribble Talk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='color theory'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rueda de color'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><title type='text'>Un poquito de teoría del color</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;No voy a dar clases sobre teoría del color, sólo compartir un poco de lo que he aprendido hasta el momento (¡espero que bien!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Existen varias formas de enfocar el color, dependiendo si el uso será para impresión o pintura, o para video. En el caso que me interesa, la pintura, la suma de todos los colores da negro, y la ausencia de color da blanco. Existen los colores primarios, los secundarios y los terciarios. Los primarios, rojo o magenta, azul o cian, y amarillo, son los básicos, no se pueden obtener de ninguna otra mezcla de colores. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Luego los secundarios se obtienen al mezclar cantidades iguales de dos colores primarios. Y los terciarios se obtienen al mezclar distintas cantidades de colores primarios, o lo que es igual, al mezclar un color primario con un secundario adyacente. Adyacente en la rueda de color (color wheel). La figura que presento de mi rueda de color la hice siguiendo las instrucciones &lt;a href="http://scribbletalk.com/showthread.php?t=4&amp;amp;highlight=wheel"&gt;del foro Scribble Talk &lt;/a&gt;(que también están en el libro "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Masterful-Color-Vibrant-Colored-Paintings/dp/1581809573/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1232341023&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Masterful Color: Vibrant Colored Pencil Paintings Layer by Layer&lt;/a&gt;" de &lt;a href="http://www.arlenesteinberg.com/"&gt;Arlene Steinberg&lt;/a&gt;, pero más explicadas), y me sirvió mucho para entender cuáles son los colores complementarios, cómo se obtienen y una forma sencilla de recordarlos (simplemente hay que recordar la rueda de color, o tenerla cerca a la hora de pintar como orientación). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Esto último es muy útil a la hora de pintar: las sombras, no sólo las proyectadas por los objetos, sino las que se presentan sobre el objeto en sí, tienen más profundidad y enriquecen más la pintura, si se hacen con los colores complementarios, en vez de tan solo usando negro o gris. Por ejemplo, en vez de poner negro en las zonas sombreadas de una manzana roja, se pone verde, en vez de poner negro en las zonas sombreadas de un plátano amarillo, se pone morado, en una naranja se pone azul, y así. Si el objeto es oscuro (y el color complementario es claro), entonces lo que se debe poner es el complementario en un valor más oscuro: por ejemplo, en unas uvas azules, la sombra se pondría en marrón, que es un naranja oscuro (yo prefiero poner naranja, y marrón encima, y luego el azul).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;¿Cómo encontrar los colores complementarios en la rueda de color? Viendo el lado opuesto del color elegido. El naranja está en el lado opuesto del azul, el rojo-rosado del verde, y así.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Aquí dejo un par de mis intentos con la rueda de color, en foto normal y mejorada:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(los números son los códigos de cada color, polychromos de FC).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXQMhrGnU9I/AAAAAAAAADY/2Qj5C4Zdeog/s1600-h/Color+Wheel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 296px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292869234712859602" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXQMhrGnU9I/AAAAAAAAADY/2Qj5C4Zdeog/s320/Color+Wheel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXQMiOPfZcI/AAAAAAAAADg/bI88LOsWhO0/s1600-h/Color+Wheel41.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 253px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292869244145329602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXQMiOPfZcI/AAAAAAAAADg/bI88LOsWhO0/s320/Color+Wheel41.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1336988071695374415?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1336988071695374415/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1336988071695374415&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1336988071695374415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1336988071695374415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/01/un-poquito-de-teora-del-color.html' title='Un poquito de teoría del color'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXQMhrGnU9I/AAAAAAAAADY/2Qj5C4Zdeog/s72-c/Color+Wheel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-9190131319377993215</id><published>2009-01-18T21:39:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:23:44.956-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lápices de colores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hobbies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colored pencil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mariposa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sombra'/><title type='text'>La que vuela de rosa en rosa</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXPtmj5jGGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/VEPJhsHrkqY/s1600-h/Mariposa+Monarca+Etapa+11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 336px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292835233817892962" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXPtmj5jGGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/VEPJhsHrkqY/s400/Mariposa+Monarca+Etapa+11.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;aprox 15.5 cm x 18 cm (6" x 7")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;papel bond blanco 80 g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;lápices de color Polychromos de Faber Castell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Sí, una mariposa (monarca). Este dibujo de una mariposa monarca lo saqué de un libro de los Little Einsteins de mis hijos. El fondo y las hojitas los hice sin ninguna referencia, directamente. Estuve tratando de aplicar algo que había estado leyendo en algunos de los tantos blogs y links que visito: las sombras son más vibrantes si en vez de poner negro o gris para lograrlas colocas el color complementario. En este caso, no lo apliqué a las sombras, sino a la parte oscura de las alas de la mariposa, como se ve en los primeros dibujos. Luego apliqué negro encima para oscurecerlo y que se pareciera más a la mariposa original. Sabía que el azul es el complementario del naranja, pero sobre este tema hablaré después.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Luego pinté la parte naranja, también aplicando sombras, y el cuerpo (igual que la parte negra de las alas, con azul índigo como base). Y finalmente el fondo y las hojas acompañantes, con menos detalle y colores menos vibrantes (así la mariposa queda como lo más atractivo del dibujo).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Aquí están los distintos pasos de avance:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXPq6016rxI/AAAAAAAAACw/JtusZakL3gk/s1600-h/Mariposa+Monarca+Etapa+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 200px;

Creo que le gustó (espero :). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Recién comenzaba a seguir mis primeros blogs de pintura (algunos de los que están a la derecha), y me entusiasmé con la idea de 'escanear' mis avances (hice lo mismo en otra pintura, que pondré posteriormente).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Busqué fotos de gallos en Internet, no muy complicadas, y me quedé con dos que usé de referencia . Mi gallo tiene todo de la primera foto, excepto la cola y la cabeza que son de la segunda, y el fondo lo inventé. Además, traté de hacerlo más esbelto, porque estos gallos hacen mucho ejercicio :o). Lamentablemente no puedo incluir un link a las páginas originales de estas fotos, porque en aquella época no tenía idea de que las iba a publicar... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;El dibujo en este caso lo hice siguiendo el método de la cuadrícula (pongo la foto en Power Point y le aplico una cuadrícula, luego hago una cuadrícula a escala, la verdad que es más fácil si es del mismo tamaño de la imagen en la pantalla, en mi hoja de dibujo, y voy copiando el dibujo cuadrito por cuadrito, más o menos).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Autocrítica: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;El fondo. El verde de las plantas verticales es muy intenso para funcionar en la perspectiva. En vez de ese color, debí colocar un verde menos intenso y más tirado al gris, y poner menor cantidad de detalle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;En el pasto del jardín, el efecto de la perspectiva del color está mejor logrado: más intenso cuanto más cerca del observador, y menos más al fondo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;También está mejor logrado (que el fondo) el gallo. Está adecuadamente resaltado como sujeto principal porque está bien detallado, con colores contrastantes y brillantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Siempre se aprende...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Aquí están las fotos de los avances del dibujo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Es un dibujo que hice como práctica del libro "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://http//www.amazon.com/gp/product/1560101903"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Colored Pencil Project Book" de Debra K. Yaun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; He leído algunas críticas sobre este libro que se supone es para principiantes, y básicamente se refieren a que los dibujos de los proyectos son muy difíciles. Y no me queda más que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/ROLO1JPUDPYQU/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#ROLO1JPUDPYQU"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;estar de acuerdo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, no son nada fáciles. Yo intenté hacer gala de mis mejores esfuerzos en el dibujo, pero tuve que calcar el contorno y algunos razgos de la cara del felino, sino, me hubiera salido fatal. (Qué sincera soy, y en público, no puedo creerlo).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Sin embargo, el reto es reconfortante. Si logras terminar algún dibujo, como yo con este gato, aunque no resulte perfecto, te sientes bastante bien. Al menos yo sí. No puedo creer que me haya salido como salió, aunque no sea una obra de arte ni mucho menos. Y como al final le eché fijador, me siento una artista completa y consumada. No hay nada como los hobbies para levantarte el espíritu...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Y aprovechando para hacer algún comentario sobre ese libro, debo decir que me gustó, a pesar de lo que acabo de comentar. Tiene un poco (poquito) de teoría, que para alguien que está partiendo de cero, le sirve. Es poco, y por lo tanto no es difícil de recordar. Por otro lado, yo compré la versión en "kit", que viene con colores, borrador (tipo limpiatipo o kneeded eraser), tajador, expansor de lápiz, regla, un esfumino y un set de lijas. Es muy interesante cómo te enseñan a hacer dibujos de acabado muy profesional con tan sólo ocho colores (desde animales y plantas, hasta retratos). También viene con hojas de papel profesional blanco y de colores. Además el kit es super portátil y lo puedes llevar a donde quieras. Tan es así que este dibujo lo hice en dos tardes en que estuvimos de visita en casa de mi mamá con los chicos. Qué más puedo pedir. Ah! y lo compré de segunda mano en Amazon, así que me costó baratísimo (y para ser de segunda, no puedo quejarme en absoluto, parecía nuevo cuando lo recibí).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Me voy a dormir...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-457106765634869307?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/457106765634869307/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=457106765634869307&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/457106765634869307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/457106765634869307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/01/mi-primer-gato.html' title='Mi primer gato'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SXFr6JKI4EI/AAAAAAAAABw/53nAvOEbouY/s72-c/Gatito.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956525922731308537.post-1351201842451854981</id><published>2009-01-15T21:15:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T23:24:22.504-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faber castell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jefferson memmorial at night'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pintura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karin Jurick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='different strokes from different folks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polychromos'/><title type='text'>Mi primera entrada</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;Estoy muy emocionada porque mi pintura "Jefferson Memmorial at Night" fue colocada en el blog "&lt;a href="http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/"&gt;Different Strokes From Different Folks&lt;/a&gt;" de Karin Jurick. Al querer poner mi comentario de agradecimiento en su blog, me dí cuenta de que no podía hacerlo porque en su blog sólo se aceptan comentarios de otros bloggers, no de personas 'comunes y corrientes' como yo, o de anónimos, así que, eso fue suficiente aliciente para poner mi propio blog (como la mayoría de puntos de quiebre en mi vida, algo tan preparado y planificado).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y como me gusta pintar, allí va la pintura con la que participé por primera vez. ¡Es muy emocionante!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 438px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 372px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291710275349790018" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_udXCCPUI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ztL0KW8dvag/s320/Jefferson+Memorial+at+Night3.JPG" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;aproximadamente 15 x 15 cm (6" x 6"),&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;cartulina azul marino,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;lápices de color Polychromos-Faber Castell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5956525922731308537-1351201842451854981?l=loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/feeds/1351201842451854981/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5956525922731308537&amp;postID=1351201842451854981&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1351201842451854981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5956525922731308537/posts/default/1351201842451854981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loquemegustaaquiyahora.blogspot.com/2009/01/mi-primera-entrada.html' title='Mi primera entrada'/><author><name>Carolina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_yZ6LCipI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyN6cqc_cks/S220/Yo+embarazada+de+Gabo+un+d%C3%ADa+antes+que+naciera.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4p-Fqpd8nnI/SW_udXCCPUI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ztL0KW8dvag/s72-c/Jefferson+Memorial+at+Night3.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
