OK, a first topic, "colourful life drawing," a vivid colour use. Only primary colours -- yellow, blue and red are used.
Technically, my life drawing should be called, "life painting," rather than drawing?! All work, paper size is A2. I love "big" papers for life drawing. (Sounds like stress buster?)
Below, contrast was the key. Strong and big brush strokes create the lively work. "Simple and bald" makes a drama. Always I come back to life drawing to get inspiration for illustration. (* I used Burnt Sienna a bit in this work.)
It's a great virtue of an artist, particularly, for an illustrator, to have many styles in repertoire. Like these life drawing results, can I be brave and playful in other work? -- is a next challenge. "Be flexible and explore something new," I ask myself. Departure from the basics and create something unique -- is my quest. (*Not easy to achieve them all!)
Now, the second topic, "One Word One day," a charity auction for Indigenous children's literacy. All money goes to "Indigenous Literacy Foundation."
Oh, my, Friends, "Indigenous Literacy Foundation" bought my work!! Wow, sooo happy! Great honour!!

Banner and My Work
It's nice. I was so happy to know that we can make a change by art and through art.
...I believe in my illustration teacher's say, "Children picture books can change the world!" Yes, we can.
Friends, Happy Painting!! Have a nice week!
Congrat! Your works are alive. The mixture of colours are great. Here's your profesional background
ReplyDeleteHi, M.Antonia,

Ciao Sadami,
ReplyDeleteanch'io mi aggrego agli applausi per il tuo stile e i tuoi colori, ma
ciò che mi prende il cuore è il tuo grande senso dell'umorismo e la tua capacità di far affiorare il sorriso...
Ciao, abbracci, Floriana
Oh, Floriana,
DeleteGrazie per godersi il mio post e il lavoro. Beh, in realtà, quello che hai sentito è il mio scopo e obiettivo per il blogging. Voglio fare i lettori sorridere e prendere un periodo di riposo qui nel mio blog. E si spera, "ricaricato" i lettori potranno godere la loro vita di nuovo!
Ciao, abbracci, Sadami
Oh, Floriana,
Thank you for enjoying my post and work. Well, actually, what you've felt is my purpose and goal for blogging. I want to make readers smile and take a rest here in my blog. And hopefully, "recharged" readers will enjoy their lives again!
Cheers, hugs, Sadami
>>>Floriana said...
Hello Sadami,
I also join in the applause for your style and your colors, but
what takes my heart is your great sense of humor and your ability to bring out the smile ...
Hello, hugs, Floriana
Yes, I agree with the others. Your colors are so vibrant and I love the green crayon to draw with. I will try this with my students... except they will do trees. Thank you for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDear Maria,
DeleteThank you! Oh, I see. Yes, please enjoy bright colour crayons with students. Well, get out of "already-made stereotyped visual info" was/is one of my goal in life drawing. Life is not black and whiteʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ .
Cheers, wink, wink, Sadami

Hello Sadami.They are excellent work! Congratulations for this extraordinary work. Children are the most important in the world and help them and make them happy makes us happy to us.
A big hug. Sonia.
Sadami, your paintings of people are so good, so alive, I love exploring them and trying to figure out how you did them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the success of your work!
Have a lovely weekend!
Oh, Blaga, thank you!
DeleteEasy! Come and join our life drawing class. I made all the paintings above in from 5 to maximum 20 minutes. "Draw lines. Put colours,"--that's all. I think nothing. I "feel" something and get on. Draw, draw, draw first, before my finding will be gone -- is my style or "drawing is my hand's thinking." No matter. Try/draw Again. Fail again? Fail better and the hand will find answers. Make sense? Then, result, learned skills will never leave you. Further, it will open another door for you to a higher road.
Best wishes & heart, Sadami
