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.

Day 20

I felt it necessary to do an illustration of the main characters in my pretend children's book entitled, Sheriff Farthright and Bangles: Lost in Los Angeles. Until this day, I never knew I even had a pretend children's book. It is not available in stores near you. Sheriff Farthright is a Yellow-rumped Seed-eater and his faithful steed, Bangles, is a Parrot-finch. Note Farthright's mighty stache. His badge shines as brightly as his character. Bangles is only seconds away from taking to the sky. I can actually hear Audubon rolling over in his grave due to the flagrant misuse of bird depictions.

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 24: Willow Grouse, 12x9"

Willow Grouse in the house!
