Things That Attract My Eye – Part 11

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

These images are just random images that I have taken over time, when the opprtunity presents itself. Hope you enjoy them. 🙂

“In The Drainer” – Walking into the kitchen one late afternoon I was struck by the design elements of 2 plastic, translucent cutting boards and a wire cooking implement that were draining after being washed.
“Internal Design” – Sydney Opera House. The family went into see a Show at the Opera House and we were waiting to be allowed in so me eyes started wandering… 🙂
“Towards Enlightenment” – Taken at Lake Burragorang (about 10 minutes drive from where we live).

Awareness. One of our greatest gifts.

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 6

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

Welcome to the 6th post of ‘Things That Attract My Eye.

Half of the images were taken near or not far from home and the others on short drives. Once again, they all taken on a phone camera and at all different times of the day. It pays to look up, to down and most importantly you need to be ‘present’…to take in the beauty (either man-made or natural) that is all around us.

Architectural Sketching with Watercolor and Ink – Domestika

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Painting

Last week as I was scrolling through my Facebook Newsfeed I happened upon a course through Domestika. I had registered an account with them some time ago but never actually purchased a course.

This particular day a course came up called, ‘Architectural Sketching with Watercolor and Ink’. This of course, ‘was music to my ears!’ Amongst other subjects to sketch and paint, architecture is right up there so my interest was piqued almost instantly. Even better, it came up as a ‘Weekend Special’ and was reduced from AUD$79.00 to $12.90 so it was too good not to take advantage of.

The course is being delivered by Alex Hillkurtz, a Storyboard Artist in France who has worked on over 20 Feature films.

At date, the course has been completed by over 114,481 students and has a 99% rating.

Thus far I’m on Unit 2, Preparation and am looking forward to doing more of the course on the weekend. When I finish the course I will post the end project here.

In the meantime, here is the link if you would like to check out the course for yourself.
