Instructional demo for my drawing class...
I've been working with the moon a lot, and wanted to weave it into this image. The placement alludes to halos in religious iconography, a subject that has inspired a lot of my earlier work.

Two of my watercolor vulva studies were featured in Juxtapoz!

 

"These watercolor studies by Liz Darling explore both the female anatomy and the possibilities of watercolor as a medium. With simple, expressionistic brushstrokes Darling is able to successfully capture the most intimate parts of a woman. Darling is an artist and art educator from Kansas. She earned her degree in Art at Pittsburg State University."


Vulva Study I is on Tumblr, too!

Art teachers!

My work

I have 3 pieces in the Pittsburg State University Art Department's show, Inspiring Voices - an exhibition of works by high school art teachers in the four state area. The exhibition runs from October 24th - December 6th in the Harry Krug Gallery. Here is an article about the exhibit.
