Red Chalk and White Chalk

After working at the portrait workshop, I am circling back and working on some sketches with red and white chalk on grey toned paper.  This is a little practice with an eye and a ball in shade.

Oregon Coast - Nocturne study

This is a small night study or Nocturne of the Oregon coast.  I had little time after work today, but I got the basic colors and values in to start this one.  I will refine later and will thicken the paint.

Meadow update



Top is the initial block-in for the meadow study.  I let it be for awhile and then re-visited it today and changed it up some.  I will leave it alone for now and will probably tweak it some later.
