30 Sketches II Day 30!

Day 30 - yahoo!! Don't get me wrong, I love the 30 Sketches Project but I miss painting! You might have guessed as much with me sneaking in paint into my sketches. This is a Graylag Goose in flight. I glued watercolor paper (scraps I might add) to a piece of wood measuring 9"x24". I used watercolor, graphite, charcoal, pastel, and gesso. I plan to cover it in a delicious layer of resin. I've covered a charcoal/oil drainting..? with my favorite resin, envirotex lite and it held up. Curious to see how the watercolor paper will hold up with the resin coating. My bet is that it will warp. Experiments, experiments.

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 ?

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.

Day 7

You can see in this baby Magpie's eyes that he is just waiting to grow up and peck your eyes out. Aren't babies of all species supposed to look sweet and kind-hearted? This charcoal and pastel sketch is on a piece of 11"x14" drawing paper. Tuesdays = 12 hour workday which in turn = smaller, meaner sketches.
