Hello....my name is Stacey. I'm a Photographer, Web & Graphic Designer and aspiring Fashion Illustrator living in rural Canada. This is my blog where I post my latest creative work. Visit often and you will never miss out on new stuff! I look forward to providing you with a glimpse about my moonlighting and weekend adventures. Connect with me at: hi [at] staysee.design....I'd love to hear from you!
It was a little over 8 months until I begun my 2nd fashion illustration after the Fashion Illustration Workshop I took the previous summer. Waiting to be inspired (a.k.a. procrastination) is very contagious among us creative types. We wait for those “right circumstances” which never seem to come (or so we think). I’ve worked much harder since then to overcome frittering and waiting for those perfect blocks of time to “be inspired”. There is no time like the present and my sketchbook has a multitude of empty pages to fill!
My 2nd illustration was completed using watercolours and ditto for the 3rd illustration. I always finish off the sketches with coloured pencil and black ink.
This new journey of mine all began back in February 2016 when I took a 3 week “Classic Drawing” evening class at The Colour Jar in Durham. I hadn’t drawn in 20 years (literally), but I decided to rekindle my visual art drawing flame and get back into this as a hobby (especially for the harsh winter months here in Grey County). I actually have a drawing from 1 of the 3 evenings posted on this blog (it’s located on my contact page if you would like to check it out). It’s done in either charcoal or conte – I actually don’t know! You may wonder why I would post that image (especially on such a prominent page), but I like to show skill progression!

Summer Holidays ~ Travel Sketching on Location
From there, I took a 3 day “Travel Sketching on Location” class in July 2016 while I was on my week off from work. We did pencil, ink and watercolour sketching at three different locations for 1.5 hours: The Garafraxa Cafe in Durham, Tim Horton’s in Durham and the Hanover Farmer’s Market.

After that class, I was counting down the days until the next scheduled workshop – “Fashion Illustration” in August 2016 held at The Garafraxa Cafe. This was a three-part series (2x/week for 3 weeks total. Each class was 2 hours):
