* This was what I was working on experimenting with more of soft pastels, graphite pencils. There will be more drawings to upload soon, thank you for your patience.*

I am back from London!!

Hi Everyone, I just came back from London. The experience traveling over there was lovely, I would go back to visit the country, maybe in a couple years from now.

I will be back to posting my art soon after this week is over. I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year with your families and friends.

Happy Holidays!!

Hi Everybody, I will be out of town starting tomorrow-24th enjoying my holiday break in London, so I won't be posting any of my art until I get back. I hope that everyone enjoys their Christmas.

Soft Pastels Experiment..

*This was the first time that I have ever used grey tone soft pastels. I think this has taken me a couple of weeks. Hopefully, I will upload some more of my art this week before I head out of town next Sunday*

Another Portrait that has taken me 2 weeks..

*This was the drawing I was working on with Charcoal, Graphite, White Charcoal for the last 2 weeks.*

I have a New Art Page!

Hey Everybody, I just created a new art page on Facebook, that will have more of my drawings of what I will be working on.
www.facebook.com/courtneycpooleart
Please spread the word about my page. =)
Thank You!

#7 in White Charcoal/ Graphite Pencils.

This had to be the hardest drawing that I have ever done with the facial expressions on this detailed piece.

A Very Short Note..

Hi Everybody, I'll be posting my art now until December 14. Because on December 14-22 I'll be traveling to London, England enjoying my week vacation. This will be the first time that I'll be traveling to Europe. Who knows I might as well be inspired, while I am over there. =)

My next art drawing will be posted either today, or tomorrow.

My question today for you all would be "What inspires you to chase your dreams?"

Hello Again! (A small note from me.. )

Hi Everyone! How is your week going so far? It's been quite a busy couple weeks for me thinking of new art ideas to accomplish at the same time. I am very grateful to have all of you supporting in my art, which all of you have inspired me to persue my goals.

Thank You, once again repeatedly over a million times. I am hoping by the end of this year I would reach to many new people, also for those who have been following me.

My current update what I have done recently is, I am shipping out two of my art pieces to  a person whom I am an aquaintance with, who has graciously had an interest in my art. My commissioned artwork that I have finished for my friend is being sent out soon.

From the Artist,
~ Courtney~

Hi, it's Me the Artist:)

Hi Everybody, How y'all doing today? Well, I have been quite busy working on a couple of drawings at the same time.
 I apologize for the delays on my drawings a million times, with my chaotic schedule.
Thank You for being patient, and traveling with me on this journey, I couldn't have done it without y'all viewing my art blog. :)

Thank You again.

Pat Benatar Drawing ^.^ ( I tried my best with this drawing)

Portrait Sketch..

*I used Charcoal, Graphite, and India Ink in this drawing. I tried my best to draw Sarah Brightman, but my friend said that it does look like her* (Drawing her is not that simple as y'all may think)
I am still debating, it  is much better in front of me than on my camera.

#66 Again

* I am practicing drawing the different positions #66 plays on the field in Charcoal. My camera caught the plastic covering that I have on my drawing to protect it from smearing all over the place.* I am extremely terrible at taking pictures of my artwork, because it looks much better on my easel.
