I stumbled upon a couple of photos online that show I was a finalist in the Golden Turtle exhibition that was held in Moscow from late July 2014. Although I was told I would receive a printed brochure with all the finalist's work included, I have never received one, and their website is quite hard to navigate since it's in Russian. I was lucky that a couple of random guys happened to be standing in front of my turtle drawing when their photo was taken!Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-47305612375038928312014-07-09T21:02:00.003+12:002014-07-09T21:02:49.135+12:00PANZ Awards - animation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On February 25 2014 I was contacted to say I was a finalist in the <a href="http://jennymarples.blogspot.co.nz/2014/02/finalist-in-golden-turtle-competition.html" target="_blank">Golden Turtle Competition</a>. An exhibition of all the final entries was to be held in Moscow on July 27th 2014, where the winner would be announced. I'm still waiting for the results!<br />
<br />
My name in the above list is highlighted. I had to put the list through an online translation website to figure out where I was!Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-61923048346632789022014-06-30T21:14:00.000+12:002014-06-30T21:14:04.115+12:00Interview with Idealog<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are close-ups of each drawing. I first did a sketch on paper to decide roughly what Laura would look like. From there I scanned this into the computer and drew over the sketch in Illustrator, tweaking certain elements and perfecting the drawing as I went. I scanned patterned paper and fabric for her outfits, and these are also what I used for the background in each frame above.</div>

These are six illustrations I created for a cookbook for Penguin Group (NZ) which didn't make it into the book. I have always been fond of these illustrations as they are so far removed from my usually very tight, realistic drawing style. Until I drew these, I never knew I could successfully create a much simpler, cartoony style. I decided to frame them using similar background fabrics that were used in the finished cookbook. I think they've come up great!</div>

These are my latest efforts with watercolour, as part of my last botanical illustration class with <a href="http://www.illustration.co.nz/" target="_blank">Sandra Morris</a>. Gum leaves are really fun to paint and they come in such a variety of different shapes, sizes and colours, it's impossible to get bored painting them! I can see a definite improvement in my ability with watercolours (from left to right). The green leaf on the right I am proud of - something that I rarely admit since I'm always so self-critical of my work. I still have a long way to go but my confidence using watercolors is starting to increase.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-64840274808430025132014-04-21T16:25:00.000+12:002014-04-21T16:26:36.600+12:00Neoregelia (Crimson Heart) sketch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A quick(ish) sketch of a Neoregelia at the Auckland Botanical Gardens last Friday. A small group of friends and I went out for the day to do some sketching and make the most of the extended summer weather we've had this year!</div>

Late last year I entered an art competition through <a href="http://wncontest.ru/en/" target="_blank">Golden Turtle</a>. After I had deciphered the English translation of the rules and submitted my chosen illustrations, I pretty much forgot about it, not expecting to hear from them again. This morning I received an email saying that I had made it through to the 'finale' and they would 'like to know my presence' for the exhibition and opening ceremony on the 27th June 2014. How exciting!</div>

A shame that the exhibition is being held in Moscow and it's therefor not possible for me to attend.</div>

I went to the Auckland Botanical Gardens with <a href="http://www.illustration.co.nz/index.html" target="_blank">Sandra Morris</a> and some other friends from my botanical illustration classes and spent the day sketching the variety of plants they have. It was a stunning day and we all had a great time. My most successful sketch of the day was this aloe vera plant, from the African Garden. I drew the whole piece using only an HB pencil. I didn't have time to finish the sketch on the day, so took some reference photos and completed it at home.<br />
<br />
The finished drawing inspired me to create a larger, full colour illustration of the same plant, which is currently a <a href="http://jennymarples.blogspot.co.nz/2014/02/aloe-vera-wip.html" target="_blank">work in progess</a>.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-17910010937626047422014-01-20T18:07:00.000+13:002014-02-26T20:38:14.182+13:00Feature in CP Hidden Treasures magazine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is another handmade book created over a weekend at ArtStation. This is my favourite out of all three courses I have participated in. Just the pure size of this book makes it so much more special than the previous A6 books I have made in the past. I intend to use this book as a journal for a trip to India and Nepal I took back in Aug/Sep 2013.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-46699934123581575442013-12-22T12:01:00.000+13:002014-02-26T20:38:49.622+13:00Ten handmade books<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made these ten books as part of a two day course at ArtStation in Ponsonby. We spent the morning on the first day creating our own special 'paste papers', which - once dry - were used for the cover of each book.<br />

This is the second book course I have done at ArtStation.

I've got pretty behind in uploading my botanical illustration on my blog. Here is my latest effort. Onion and garlic - watercolour and coloured pencil.<br />
<br />
I started with the watercolour but wasn't really liking the result so continued with coloured pencil over the top. The garlic on the left is unfinished and shows the watercolour base.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-52625516536410935302013-10-07T22:08:00.000+13:002014-02-26T20:39:15.943+13:002nd place in Sea Animal Portraits competition!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last weekend I attended a nature journaling course, run by Sandra Morris, at the <a href="http://www.miranda-shorebird.org.nz/" target="_blank">Miranda Shorebird Centre</a>. It was the first time I had done nature journaling and it was a lot of fun. Over the two days we spent the mornings down at the shell banks observing the local wildlife and sketching them while looking through telescopes. Some of the many birds we spotted were spoonbills, wrybills, caspian terns, mallards and pied stilts. </div>

In the afternoons we went for walks looking for plant specimens to take back to the centre to draw. <br />
<br />
The photos here show the stunning scenery, plants specimens, sketches, using the telescopes and photos I took of the birds through my telescope.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597184404130578420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202988062114705392.post-16899338497922475952013-06-25T21:52:00.002+12:002013-06-25T21:52:41.832+12:00Botanical illustration class - month 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
