Landscape Studies, Artwork by Kiri Østergaard
I recently attended a wonderful workshop by Zelda Devon, where I was suggested to do landscape studies to improve my artwork. Here is the first batch, there will be many more to come in the future. This is my first time really doing serious landscape studies and I have found I really enjoy getting a break from anatomy. In time these studies should improve my sense of values as well, though I will also need to do pure value studies.

I recently began doing a series of still life studies to become more familiar with the Painter program and also practice my painting skills. These are all done from observation (not photos) with the oil brushes in Painter.
A still life is an excellent study because you get to truly observe simple objects and consider how light and shadows play in.
I recall from Art History lessons that for Masters the still life also served to show of their skill because there were so many different surface textures and light effects to portray. I’m still far away from being able to use my still life studies for bragging rights, but I still enjoy painting them and sometimes that is what is most important – that you have fun!

Caring About Your Own Artwork - Advice From Kiri Østergaard Leonard
Close-up Ear Collage for Cooper Union Home test
During my second semester of foundation at Pratt institute I had a very interesting drawing teacher named Douglas Wirls. One my last day of class, where we had our final review he told me something that will stick with me forever. Professor Wirls said to me:
It is your responsibility as an artist to care about your own work. It is a responsibility you have to your work, that you MUST care about it and seek to improve it, because no one else is ever going to care about it as much as you. No one else is as personally engaged in it as you are, so if you give up, that is entirely on you. No one is going to stop you one way or another, it is all on you. It is YOUR responsibility.”
It made me think, and although it has only been less than a year since he said this to me I have often reminded myself and taken solace in it. Perhaps during the early years of learning, this reminder is most valuable.
It can be an incredibly frustrating path to improve your artistic skill set. Sometimes the pencil just does not put down the marks you image and at times you may look at your work and feel it is all hopeless and never improving, but if you want to get better the only way is practicing. There is no shortcut.
You owe it to your work to keep going and improve.
