"Water" needs a little touching up in the skin tones

Water

Acrylic and water colors on canvas boardYou can see this however you want, I call her a water goddess, you can call her a Nymph!
As you all can see, she needs some skin tone touch ups. I was hoping to create an Indian type look so that is why the skin is so dark! BUT when I was doing her cleavage, the paint was blending too much. 
In 2006 I just wasn't experienced enough in painting skin tones and stuff, I had only started painting in like 2002 or 2003? That's not much time to gain enough experience as a person who was only painting as a hobby! So please bare with this in mind.I hope to fix her skin tones so that her cleavage and other areas are more balanced.

 Hope your weekend is going well!

The fantasy with dragons...

This is my Dragoon, he is the pencil dragon as you can see he is holding an old pencil! I wasn't finished with him but I had to format and lost a lot of my digital creations I only have this one because I posted it on an art forum so I do not have the original "file" to do more with it, I guess I'll have to start over, which is fine because it is fun!

WIP Magazine reference...

Magazine reference...This is a work in progress, as you can see I need to better my skill at drawing from references as she isn't perfect!

My introduction...


Biography
(recently shown at www.annmjackson.bravehost.com/home )
My name is Ann Marie, I am an artist. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I am a 33 year old stay at home mom, I draw and doodle some, randomly paint now and than when I am feeling inspired.

I'd like to note, that I really love digital painting, but as of right now I am unable to do any due to mine not working properly, so until I get it working properly again I will not be adding any new digital paintings. However, you will see some "old" digital paintings I have created.

I can remember when I first started drawing more and more, I can remember drawing purple, black and green tutu-ed Ballerinas and cutting them out after gluing them to a piece of cardboard from a cereal box when I was 6 and 7 years old. I even gave one to my grandmother she had it tacked to one of her paneling in her old house, she has pictures of it in her old albums while taking pictures of others standing by it so it just happened to be in the shot. ;-) I sure wish I had one copy for myself. Just to see how much I have improved after so many years.


I get this gift from both sides of my family, my father was a great artist but never did much with it, but always encouraged me to pursue it. Back than I wasn't fully confident enough to do so, I felt I was better at other creative/artistic skills. I like to sing too, I like to write, I like many different forms of art, really probably all forms. I guess you could say art is my nature, art is my natural born talent. I just recently started photography. Just for fun and as a hobby, if you'd like to see some of my Photography I will be added some of my best photographs here later!

So enjoy your time in my internet part of the world, to see one part of me that I enjoy, it is a hobby but I'd like to do more with it! 

I like to do my own websites as well. I find it challenging and depending on the challenge I like it, sometimes it has it's rewards, when you see the finished product.
