Day 2

This is a larger than life charcoal and pastel sketch of the common ole' crow. It is on a sheet of 17"x24" butcher paper which I find perfect for doing studies such as this one. I have a 100% free heaping stack of the stuff. Archival it is not, but it takes away any fear of destroying an expensive sheet of paper which leads me to work with more expressive marks. This mark-making freedom is liberating most of the time but good god it can also make for some wildly terrible drawings. Live and learn.

Day 12

I thought I would try something different. I've never sketched/painted a migration pattern. A more detailed series would be fun I do believe.

Project IV Day 5: Little Auk

Little Auks are indeed little. They are round with sweet short bills. One day I shall hold one in the palm of my hand...

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?
