Ayden Millar

My name is Ayden and I love to create, to be inspired, to inspire others and to have something in life that I am passionate about! Something that I have a mental and physcial drive to do. For me this is creative arts withinn the entertainment industry. I have a theatrical and tv background from being a wannabe actress when I was a teeny bopper, and one day I would love to work in tv or film in the applied arts field. Maybe in costume but primarily scenic art. I am an organised little soul too, I like to priotitise and delegate and make sure things are meeting deadlines and running smoothly. So maybe when Im old and grey I will retire on foreign shores having worked and travelled the world with at least one credit of Artistic Director under my belt! :)

Stencil Paintings

I got basic stencil images and projected them onto canvass and painted them. Easy peasy, but very effective looking!

This is my adaption of an Audrey Kawasaki painting She generally paints straight onto wood, so I did a woodgrain effect on a board and scaled up my image, drew it out roughly in charcoal and then painted it with roscos. The overall look of the painting is very washy, pale, girly, and almost innocent looking. It really tested my patience as I felt like I wasnt happy with it until the very very end, but Im glad I took my time with it. Scaling up is obviously much harder than just projecting an image, but its much better in terms of a good challenge.

Life Drawing

I love it! Good wee chance to keep your drawing skills refreshed. Its nice to experiment with different materials, along with some directed tasks from jamie and christine. Wether its drawing with your opposite hand, your eyes only on the model, or on a huge piece of paper with your chosen section to drawn life size.
