Chantell Van Erbe - Fantasized Realism in Fine Art

Happy New Year! Here's to 2009. May this be a happy and healthy year for all.

I realized that I never posted photos of the painting process from the subject of my last blog. You know, the one about the textured clay board from Hades? If you aren't up to speed, then by all means, click here.

Sorry for the unprofessional photos but I usually chronicle each drawing phase with the camera on my cell phone. It's easier -less disruptive than dealing with a bulky digital cam. In image #6 below, you can get a visual of what I was up against - CP dust piling all over the bottom of my drawing table and floor due to the porousness of the board.

I was extremely elated to finish this one up and am quite satisfied with the results. One of my resolutions for '09 is to NEVER EVER use textured clay board...again.

I'm currently working on a composition for a future project which will  most likely get underway on Monday.
